La Pointe du Hourdel
About
A welcoming brasserie that has become an iconic stop for visitors to the stunning bay of the Somme. Located at 62 Quai Gavois, overlooking the dunes and the lighthouse of Hourdel, the restaurant offers a panoramic view of the water and is open throughout the year – no reservation required. The menu showcases classic French brasserie dishes, local preparations, and an extensive selection of fresh seafood – think oysters from Normandy, shrimp, fish, and mussels cooked in traditional styles. Guests can enjoy a relaxed breakfast with a "Petit Déjeuner" menu before heading out for coastal walks, or take a leisurely lunch in the open garden terrace, where the breeze from the sea complements the hearty regional flavors. In the evenings, the dining room remains lively and warm, with a range of meats, salads, and comfort dishes to delight both locals and tourists. The on‑site bar adds another layer to the experience, offering a wide array of beers (including Belgian and regional options), spirits, and cocktails – perfect for a casual drink after a meal or a quiet moment watching the sunset over the water. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and happy to recommend local specialties. Whether you’re looking for a casual bite by the sea or a special occasion, La Pointe du Hourdel provides a charming, family‑friendly atmosphere with an unbeatable view – all without the hassle of booking ahead.
