Eating Out Intro in Boulogne

In Search of a Good French Meal in Boulogne

There is a good choice of Boulogne Restaurants in this French city. From fancy upscale restaurants to quaint and cozy cafes, Boulogne has got it all. A great place to begin sampling food in Boulogne has got to be La Matelote. Known far and wide for its impeccable service and excellent French cuisine, La Restaurant Matelote is one place that a visitor should not miss.

This fancy restaurant lies in a hotel that goes by the same name. You can enjoy your meal in a colonial-style restaurant, which represents just one part of the La Matelote Restaurant. Here, the furniture, lighting, cutlery and decor, all contribute toward giving this part of the restaurant a warm, yet stylish feel. The second option is to sit on the restaurant's dimly-lit terrace. The atmosphere here too is excellent if you want to enjoy a romantic meal.

• Authentic French Cuisine - Boulogne is known for its seafood, so when you visit this restaurant, a must-try dish is the fish cooked in its skin, with clams as an accompaniment. But, before this the fois gras (goose liver) salad with spiced bread is a must. Deserts at this restaurant include Banoffee Tarts, milk chocolate mousse and vanilla mousse. The creme brulee is one desert that should not be missed when eating at this restaurant. A meal for one costs around $60. However, if you try the restaurant's fixed meals, you might find it to be a little less expensive.
