La Boucane — Restaurant in Le Havre

Nice restaurant in a very good location. Nice views from outside and inside. The menu was extensive so everyone can have a choice. There are also enough vegetarian options. In the meals I ordered it was not noticable that the cooks had trouble preparing all different sorts of dishes.

The quality of the food was good and there is enough on the plates. The pizzas look and taste good, and the pate and duck are also very good. The side salad is a bit boring, but mostly meant as decoration. Also the pepper sauce was a bit weird (very watery).

The reason I do not give 5 stars, is that the waitress was not that friendly (also not mean or something, but just very formal) this was probably because of the language barrier. Also the fruit juice I order was expired (about 10 days), I did not mention this because I know the juice doesn't go bad that fast, but it is a point of attention for the restaurant. Also the price of the bottled drinks...

Habla Manotas, The service was efficient and quick thanks to Pauline. The portions were okay. Although the fish of the fish and chips could have been slightly bigger. The children menu (Mini burger) were big enough, even an adult with little appetite should feel satisfied.

The interior design is nice but the BIG minus of the establishment is the cleanliness. The floor is sticky all over the place beside the pavement of the terrace 😉. My kids played barefoot in the play room... the feet were black and sticky afterwards. And the toilets are the same. For those that don’t feel the stickiness on the shoes, try touching the railings once you go to the upper floor.

All in all if you want a fast meal for bigger groupes that serves the cause and you’re not very picky on the cleaning, that’s were you want to...

Don't bother. We only went here as it was a Monday and very few choices of places open for dinner. First impressions: the whole place is unloved and untidy, with bits of clutter everywhere and tatty sticky menus - a clear sign that the management don't care. Food just about ok, nothing terrible but nothing good, not very high quality ingredients, presented poorly (on slates, ugh). Staff seem irritated by customers and clearly not interested in helping with anything. Overall very poor value and poor experience - Fecamp has many better options, with better service! Such a shame as they occupy a lovely position on the harbour. Just to add, found a long blond hair (not either of ours!) in my salad, so not great on hygiene either. Didn't bother telling the staff as it was clear they were not...
