Qype: Hotel Atlantic, Restaurant La Liegeoise - Alain Delpierre in Wimereux

What can I say? I have never eaten so well!

The Hotel Atlantic is an unassuming part of the seafront promenade in Wimereux, a small seaside resort about 30 minutes out of Calais. It's worth the drive. This is not a 5 star luxury hotel, but yet the rooms are really nice, bright and with a lovely sea view. They are also furnished with flat screen TV (which gets the BBC!), so you can watch really bad films about Jodie Foster finding snakes on a plane, or something. Anyway, this is not interesting.

What is interesting, is the incredible restaurant downstairs. Situated on the first floor, you get a lovely sea view as you settle into your chair for what can only be described as a marathon. Order the 'Promenade en Mer', let them choose the wine, and away you go.

I think my photos probably do this more justice than I ever could by simple words alone, but it really was fantastic. Around 7 courses, although I lost count, and a wine to match each. Everything was perfect. I've never eaten fois gras and fish together before... but now I have! Alain Delpierre had a wander out of the kitchen at the close, and I warmly congratulated him on curing my eating disorder. OK, I don't really have an eating disorder, but if you did, this would definitely be the place to come.

One of my favourite meals of all time.
