La Taverne Royale

La Taverne Royale, founded in 1952 by the Desseaux family, is a long-established restaurant in Le Touquet-Paris-Plage that embodies the spirit of a Belgian tavern with a warm, family-friendly identity. For three decades, it was run by chef Jacques Desseaux and his wife Francine, becoming a local institution. Today, it operates as a true Touquet brasserie, preserving its heritage through a concept that combines friendliness, generosity, and refinement. The menu focuses on homemade French brasserie cuisine, rooted in tradition and inspired by both land and sea. It highlights fresh, seasonal ingredients, including fish and seafood sourced from the morning catch, such as sole, turbot, oysters, lobster, and langoustines. Classic dishes like blanquette de veau, carbonnade flamande, steak tartare, and kidneys showcase the quality of the meats offered. The chef's daily specials reflect the market arrivals and creativity, complemented by a carefully selected wine cellar. Located on Rue Saint-Jean, near the market square and within walking distance of the beach, La Taverne Royale offers continuous service from breakfast on its sun-drenched south-facing terrace to lunch, dinner, and relaxed daytime dining. The chic and cozy interior combines décor inspired by British culture with the charm of a Belgian tavern, featuring aged leather banquettes, exposed wooden beams, and white tablecloths. The restaurant also offers privatization options for family and corporate events, with menus tailored to guests' preferences and budgets.
