Boucan

Boucan is a small restaurant in Saint-Omer built around a sharing-plate concept inspired by the Catalan tapas model. The menu is conceived as plates to share and the kitchen operates with full creative freedom. Boucan was selected in the Michelin Guide 2025 and emphasizes local sourcing and seasonal change as central to its identity. A completely open kitchen frames a relaxed, simple and lively interior that can be quite noisy. Seating is informal and the space feels vibrant and social, producing a convivial, buzzy dining experience. The team describes the cuisine as free-style — both regressive and reasoned — an approach that allows playful experimentation. Specialties include Catalan-style sharing plates (assiettes à partager), a weekly lunchtime fixed menu offered in two- or three-course options, and an evening sharing-plates carte refreshed every three weeks.
