L'Ecume Bleue - Saint-Valery-sur-Somme

Went here with some friends when we was on holiday and I can honestly say it was one of the highlights of my holiday. our waiter Katherine was so polite and friendly she was a delight to be served by. Pricing was more than reasonable and food was delicious. Can't fault. Will definitely return if I go back there. Would recommend to anyone visiting this gorgeous area of France!

Have visited sometime years ago in the same place which has been upgraded since then and it was the best moules that converted me from the rubber bands served sometimes to beautiful soft fleshy moules I was served then. On this return , staff were bright and attentive. Moules were average and in one pot more than 15 were closed which is poor on the chef sending them out. The A la creme sauce wasn't as tasty as others elsewhere . Cafe gourmand was a poor offering for the 6.5€ So keen St Valery prices for an average offering .

We were recommended this restaurant by the local butcher after finding our 2 chosen places closed the night we went. We weren't disappointed. We chose off the 23.50 euro menu and had salmon ravioli for starters, both very good. The moules & frites were very good and the cod in chive cream sauce, fresh vegetables and baby roasted potatoes was excellent. Puddings were really good, a crème brulee and ice cream sundae with salted caramel. House wines were good and bill was 67 euros. Perfect. If you want dinner it may be as well to call in at lunchtime and book.

Maybe, we've been just lucky, for the reviews about this place are rather mixed. But we wanted to sit outside but not in a crowd plus we looked for a restaurant with regional cooking and so we decided for this place. Good choice, for we thoroughly enjoyed being here on a warm late summer evening. My husband had a plat fruits de mer, I myself dived into a pot full of mussels with cream and salicorne. I suspected it would be an extremely good combination, but I was too curious about the salicorne. To my astonishment the result was convincing. My husband enjoyed his seafood platter and we both liked the relaxed though attentive service.

We ate dinner here last night and had moules frites. The food was delicious and reasonably priced, our waitress very friendly and the restaurant decor is delightful. Our whole bill came to approx €40 for 2 people, we had 2 courses and house wine - great value I think. We will eat here on our next visit to St Valery - I would recommend this restaurant.
