Scoop le Bistrot — Restaurant in Montreuil-sur-Mer

Positives: 1.One can already know that each item is prepared fresh by the quality of ingredients and their freshness. Pet friendly. Prices are good considering the location. The menu is quite varied and has local produce (e.g.seafood) and a good range of healthy and vegetarian options too.

Negatives: (slightly positive too) Slow service esp.to take order. Don't go if you are hungry...everything will have a pace so you will need at least 2 hours if you want to wait, order, get served....pay etc. The slightly positive side to this is that the person taking orders already informed me that food orders are on hold as the kitchen is catching up with existing orders and they would not rush just to take the order and then delay the delivery/ service. Also as mentioned above, each dish is prepared with the time needed hence worth the wait. They have segregated roles among the service staff which is appreciated but all of them seemed to be under pressure and not making any eye contact. It seems to me that this was in their SOP to rush around. At the end, however, when they do serve and come for each course separately - beverages, food, dessert etc., one realizes that they just want you to eat properly and with patience. However, this can have both positive and negative impact esp.if the guests are in a hurry, is a first timer or there are hungry kids on the table etc. They can improve on this for making the customer experience better. But what the heck, they are not into flowery words to attract tourists and they do serve very good food and we are in France so it is not to be offended about ;).

Overall, I recommend Le Scoop for its authentic and good quality dishes and location. Don't go if you are a bit impatient or...

We booked here as part of a stop on the way back home from Disneyland Paris on a recommendation from the hotel we had booked.

We arrived as they were opening, we were greeted and given an option of where to sit. Our order was taken and food arrived quickly, the meals were excellent and it was clear that care and dedication is put into it's preparation.

A wasp, an inevitable pest at this time of year, unfortunately landed in one of our daughter's meals which was then replaced quickly and without issue. She has a fear of wasps and we had a waiter valiantly standing guard over her which lightened the mood.

Desserts were as good as the meals with impressive presentation, the whole meal was delicious and very fairly priced.

I would very easily recommend this...

This is a real gem of a restaurant. We visited on our previous trip to Le Touquet and couldn't resist going back.

We had the "Carpaccio de bœuf citron, basilic, parmesan" which was very very good at plus a bottle of wine.

Service is terrific - brisk and efficient. The restaurant is very popular with local residents. When we were there in early July, just about every take was occupied by grandparents with their grandchildren (perhaps some sort of celebration?).

I would recommend booking - we were there on a Monday night and it was full. Takes had opened up by about 20.30 though and they were seating new customers.

If you're looking for a great French bistro, this is it. This restaurant...
