Moules frites tomorrow night, France (1 Viewer)

Seconded there Judge. Had them there a couple of years ago and wouldn't go back to any of them again would sooner go hungry. Didn't even get what I ordered in one restaurant. The waitress put the bowl down and disappeared before I tool the lid off.

Had some nice one at Berk sur Mare quite a few times choice of several restaurants too.

Stopped at Le Touquet have to pay for the aire but loads of choice for moules (was in the summer though!!) often come served in a "marmite" a type of pot with a lid.

Surely that's huitres? If moules look like snot then something's badly wrong.

Worst moules & frites I ever had were at the Braderie de Lille event, where there's a traditional competition between the eateries to see who ends up with the biggest pile of empty moule shells, given that 2.5 million extra people visit the city that weekend. Trouble is they're served up in a hurry in quantity by places who don't normally offer them and the quality of cooking is often very poor. Won't make that mistake again. Most other places I've been are fine - the bar/restaurant Le Sybilien next to the Calais Port aire is good. Nice view of La Manche too.
