Le Touquet’s culinary heritage is enough to make even the most discerning mouth water. Many local chefs have succeeded in turning their restaurants into well-known institutions. This indelible stamp makes the resort a hotspot for fine-food gourmets… as well as those who just love food.
A taste for excellence
Le Touquet’s hospitality school teaches the artists of tomorrow to handle their knives, gain an eye for presentation, and add a poetic touch to every dish.
In addition, a whole host of high-end restaurants make this resort stand out from the crowd. In 2007, William Elliot’s fresh innovations earned him a Michelin Star. He is the chef of Le Pavillon, the restaurant at the Barrière Le Westminster, a flagship hotel of the Opal Coast. The restaurants Le Paris, Côté Sud and La Table du West, have each been awarded a Michelin Plate for their excellent value for money.
And they are not the only ones to fly the local gastronomy’s colourful flag! Carte Blanche, Boko Baya, Les 2 Moineaux, Chez Flavio, Au Village Suisse, La Dune aux Loups… are but a few of the names that conjure enchanting images of food to die for.
