Le Petit Journal sur Dunkerque

I went there with my wife on May 15th. We came for a "reconnaissance" around lunchtime and returned around 7 pm, having made a reservation by phone on the restaurant's mobile number. Craaaa! We had to make a reservation on their landline and they were fully booked. But they admitted us anyway, and it turned out to be one of my best evenings out at a restaurant. We chose the Thai section of the menu and were both delighted. The service was impeccable. I felt so at home that I wanted to address the waiter informally... He managed a table of six screaming children like a pro. The food was perfect, and generous portions too. We were lucky enough to be able to greet and congratulate the chef. And we finished our wine at the bar with a whole group of regulars. A fantastic evening. Highly recommended.

A top-notch team and boss, delicious food... Unmissable.

We only had an entree but it was an ideal size for us for lunch. Came with a small salad and some bread. Other diners around looked like they had some splendid main courses. Served quickly Tasty white wine Helpful waiter who helped us with our French. Good value too. Thank you

The best fries I've ever eaten. The meat was fantastic too. The service was incredibly friendly. We'll definitely be making reservations there again.

Very friendly service, delicious food. The owner, Alexandre, is also very friendly. We'll be back.

We ate well, the portions were generous and our waiter was very pleasant.

A very interesting and varied menu featuring Vietnamese dishes that offer a welcome change from traditional fare. A minor drawback is the small portion size when a starter is ordered as a main course. €20 for such a small amount is overpriced. A few extra coins would be much appreciated and would also make the dish more substantial.

This place absolutely delivered the kind of meal that makes you want to cancel all future plans and just nap happily. We arrived armed with approximately three words of French and a lot of optimism, but the waitress was an absolute star—patient, friendly, and somehow able to understand our chaotic pointing and enthusiastic nodding. The food? Proper hearty, comforting stuff. The kind that feels like a hug from someone who insists you haven’t eaten enough. And speaking of “enough”… they do NOT mess around with the cheese. If you like your meals lightly sprinkled, look away now—this is full commitment, no regrets, cheese-forward dining. Somewhere, a cow is very proud of this restaurant. The atmosphere was wonderfully convivial—buzzing, warm, and the sort of place where everyone seems to be having a great time, even if (like us) they’re not entirely sure what they just ordered. It felt relaxed and welcoming rather than stuffy, which made the whole experience even better. All in all: great service, generous portions, and a cheese policy I can fully get behind. Would absolutely come back—next time with slightly better French… or just the same strategy and a big smile.

Nice discovery. Very welcoming place. The food was excellent.(Garlic shrimps and welsh) We were also lucky to get some seat because at around 8pm, it was full. Better to book. If we come back to Malo, we surely stop there again

The best little restaurant/bar in this small northern town, go without hesitation. The food is as good as the owners are friendly and kind, I recommend it 100%.
