Le Ricolo sur Le Crotoy

14/07/2026: I wouldn't call this place a restaurant, but rather a cross between a local bistro and a night out with friends watching a football match. We ordered three pizzas and a portion of fries to take away (€45). The pizzas were generally quite good, although the tomato sauce tasted more like cheap tomato paste than a real homemade sauce. The fries, on the other hand, were disastrous: they were like the ones from Lidl. Pieces of all sizes, soggy, tasteless… you almost wonder if they hadn't been scraped from the bottom of several baskets. The most disconcerting thing is the atmosphere. If you like places where everyone is shouting from one end of the room to the other, you'll get your fill. It feels more like attending a post-match celebration than a proper restaurant service. I was also surprised to see several people going back and forth between the bar and the kitchen, even though they didn't seem to have any role in the kitchen. And to top it all off: the cook walked into the kitchen letting out a huge belch. It might seem like a small detail, but it's definitely not the kind of scene that inspires confidence while you're waiting for your meal. The staff is welcoming, but between the atmosphere, the seemingly haphazard organization, and what we witnessed, you end up wondering if you might leave with something other than what you ordered.

13/07/2026: We took a short break on the pedestrian street and had some pizzas which were very good. A little oregano on top would have made them even better... The other customers' dishes also looked very appetizing. I recommend it. The welcome and service were excellent.
