Le Chatillon

About

Le Chatillon, founded in 1950 in the historic fishing port of Boulogne‑sur‑Mer, is a celebrated seafood restaurant that brings the bounty of the sea straight to diners’ plates. Guests are welcomed into a nautical-themed interior that echoes the hull, sails, and navigation instruments of a trawler, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of the harbor life that shaped the town. The menu, 98 % based on freshly caught fish and shellfish, offers a daily selection of catches that vary with the weather and local supplies. From classic dishes such as sole meunière and grilled sardine to specialty plates like the marinated clams and oyster “family,” every dish is crafted to highlight the natural flavors of Boulogne’s waters. A fixed “menu unique” is available for €35.50 per person, providing a complete meal of starter, main course, and dessert, while smaller portions and take‑away options (available from 11 am to 12:30 pm, free delivery over €30) cater to those on the go. The restaurant operates from 5:30 am to 4:30 pm Monday–Thursday, 4:30 am to 4:30 pm Wednesday and Friday; Saturday and Sunday are reserved for bar service and have no food service. Reservations are recommended, especially during the busy summer months, and can be made online via the site’s “Réserver une table” link. With its rich maritime heritage, friendly service, and commitment to using only the freshest local catch, Le Chatillon remains a must‑visit destination for seafood lovers and families alike.
