Au Côte d'Argent, French restaurant on Digue Gaston Berthe, Calais, France.
Au Côte d'Argent is a French restaurant positioned along the harbor in Calais with views across the water and towards the Channel crossings. Large windows frame the maritime activity outside, allowing diners to watch the movement of ferries while they eat.
The restaurant opened in 1990 and drew its interior design from mahogany cabin elements found on historic ocean liners. This design choice echoes the maritime past that has long defined the identity of the port city.
The kitchen blends traditional northern French cooking with fresh seafood from local fishermen working the North Sea and English Channel waters. This regional approach shapes the daily menu and what appears on each plate.
The restaurant operates Wednesday through Saturday for dinner service, and adds Sunday lunch availability as well. The harbourside location offers good views but can be exposed to wind on blustery days.
The kitchen prepares dishes like crab claws and Angus beef with Flemish sauce that blend local seafood with unexpected flavor combinations. These preparations show how the chef moves beyond simple presentations of fresh ingredients.
