La tete aux Loups sur Le Pin-Au-Haras

Found this excellent restaurant for a stopover en route to Calais in the Michelin Guide because of its Bib Gourmand award. Great result! This is fine dining at a very fair price. We would recommend opting the more expensive gourmet menu at €56 as this has superb fish options and the hostess (and wife of the chef) had explained that the chef’s real love was for creating his fish dishes. We had home smoked salmon which had a real depth of flavour without being overpowering and then a sensational turbot dish with a lovely seafood sauce on a very generous portion of this most sought after fish which was cooked to perfection. A small but important point, the bread was fresh and a really lovely texture coming from the local boulangerie, perfect for mopping up sauce! Our deserts were clearly cooked freshly to order and again of a high quality. We found a delicious white wine from Chinon on a sensibly sized wine listto accompany our fish and the whole dining experience was complemented by quiet friendly efficient service. This is our idea of a nearly perfect French dining experience.

Excellent little restaurant. The setting is nice and the staff discreet. To recommend

Magnificent place, warm both in terms of atmosphere and welcome. The cuisine is divine. A delight
