Good restaurant near Eurotunnel terminal in Calais?

[fastfreddy]

Going over to France next week to stock up for Christmas and wouldn't mind spending a couple of hours having a nice lunch before we come back.

Anyone know anywhere nice within a short drive of the Eurotunnel terminal?

Actually im going over in a couple of weeks.
Last time i went i enjoyed the food in the Cite Europe resteraunts.
I plan to go into Calais itself this time to explore some resteraunts.

I have researched these, but Mrs Ray Singh is a Vegi so might not be able to go.

This place was nice the last time I went, http://www.lemoulin-wissant.com/modulosite2/hotel-... about 5 miles west of Calais

i like Au Cote D'Argent, right on the sea. Lovely wine list, excellent seafood. Set menus for lunch are very good value, too.

I'm a bit limited as we've got to go on a Monday and a lot of restaurants are closed Sunday & Monday.

These two are open Monday though:

Any more suggestions welcome though

If you don't mind driving for 20 mins, I'd heartily recommend the Chateau de Cocove.

Ended up here yesterday:

We didn't have much time and it's only 10 minutes from the Eurotunnel terminal so perfect for our schedule.

You probably wouldn't stumble across the place as it's outside the town centre, but it overlooks the sea and there's plenty of free parking right outside, so I was happy.

We got a very warm welcome and the place filled up pretty quickly after we arrived for an early lunch. Mainly Brits and several had been there many times before. I'm sure it's popular all year round so make sure you book ahead.

We chose from the 29 Euro Menu Carte and were very happy with the food. The mains were the highlights but everything was as it should have been.

The menu yesterday was the same one they have on their web site currently, so if you need some help with the French ingredients, just copy it into Google translate and you'll know what to expect when you get there.

Hope that helps!

Have been to the latter above on numerous occasions down the years and never had a bad meal there. Lovely place and excellent value.

There's a couple of places in Wissant, just down the coast. Always full of Brits and Belgians...
