"I went to Le Flandre with my Dad for a meal on a Saturday night in mid-October, and despite expecting it to be quiet it was banged out. My advice would be to book, even at this time of year.There's a great choice on the menu, including a very reasonable set menu, and there's more than just seafood if you're not a fish person. Vegetarians are less well catered for mind. However, when you are a few hundred yards from the ocean you should really try the fish.We went la carte, and between us we polished off a dozen fresh langoustines with a homemade mayonnaise. If you don't mind getting your fingers messy, go for the this or one of the other crustaceans platter to start.Whilst I was envious of my Dad's choice of main - a beautifully cooked Dover sole - I have to say my own main won in terms of taste sensation for the night. If you go to Le Flandre and you don't mind a foie gras, then be sure to have the scallops and pan fried foie gras (duo St. Jacques au foie gras poelee). It's pricey at €29 but is super tasty and flavoursome. Very rich also.Being a greedy wee pig I then polished off a trio of cheeses AND and a creme catalana for desert. The cheese was very nice but served with a salad and a very small onion relish, whereas I would have preferred a few different accompaniments to bring out the flavours of each cheese.Not the cheapest meal but delicious, fresh and served by a friendly bunch of staff. Would highly recommend."
