We ate there on our first night in Le Crotoy and had a reasonable meal. We were asked if we wanted a desert or coffee and I said (in my limited French which stood us in good stead elsewhere) we'd finish our wine first. The bill was brought before we'd finished it by the waiter ( who'd not been serving us but appeared to be in charge). The girl serving us had been fine. We put down enough cash to cover it plus a tip and said we' d like two coffees and would sit outside to drink them ( and expected to pay separately for them) ie we paid for the meal to indicate that we weren't about to run off. The waiter then brought our coffees and said we'd not left enough money as the coffees came to 9€!!!...
We went as a family of four. Main course only. The waitress was friendly and fairly efficient. The food however...Mussels ok (they should be amazing though in this part of the world.)Kids meals were a very burnt steak haché with pasta bolognaise. Weird but the kids liked it.Chicken and chips with green beans. Aarggh!!!! I understand that they may need to precook the chicken but how many times? It was inedible. The green beans were out of a can, very sad.
We arrived and saw many restaurants and assumed not much between them so sat at Le goeland. Mussels were good; chevre chaud not, choucroute average BUT v annoyed that when asked waiter if service compris he said "non" when on later checking it was .A downright lie.Do not go there if they are capable of seeing an english person and assuming they are ready for fleecing.
Arrived about 1pm on a Tuesday and expected Le Crotoy to be quiet, but it was busy and took the only available table. Have eaten here before and just had the set menu c21Eur for ficelle, modules and dessert. All well cooked and service was fine - the waiter worked hard and could have done with better support but just about kept pace with demand!

Should have checked reviews on Trip Advisor before visiting this restaurant. One of the dishes, which was the main reason for us choosing the restaurant was not available. Fish soup I imagine came out of a tin, the mussels were not good, did not smell...More
Ate there today and we had a good experience. The restaurant appeared initially full, but the staff made room for us within about 15 minutes. Mussels, snails, sole meuniere were all good. No complaints.
Fastest service in the world, mussels came less than 5 mins after ordering, bread was horrible, mussels were soft and tasteless, worst I've ever had. In and out in 20 mins
Great seafood and good service. Lacking atmosphere and definitely not a romantic meal for 2 venue. However, the food more than made up for the lack of atmosphere.

Rude and bad food- renowned for it locally. They can only stay in business due to tourists- AVOID AT ALL COSTS
