Le Barbican - Fécamp

Run by an English chef and his French wife, this small restaurant on the quayside offers a taste of England, but with the trimmings of a French bistro. There are alternatives to the Fish & Chips, but this is what it is all about, with a 3 course menu. No paper wrappers, the dishes are nicely arranged with a too-small portion of mushy peas, perfectly cooked fish in batter and a neat pile of chunky chips. The desserts are very good, and included crumble on our visit, but I had a very good crème brulée. Drinks were reasonably priced, both soft and alcoholic. The decor is light blue, French Café, and they have avoided a fake English chippy theme that would not have made much sense to non-English visitors. The local English community eat here for a reasonably priced (by French bistro standards) lunch or supper. It is a small restaurant, with the tables quite close together, so booking is recommended for the evenings.

My parents and I visited Le Barbican tonight and had a wonderful meal. Soufflé starter was delicious and beautifully presented (forgot to take a photo, will have to go back!), the fish and chips wonderful, pea purée a great touch and the tartar sauce was delicious, some ingredient I couldn't identify made it really special. And the rhubarb dessert perfect to round off the meal. At €19.50 for 3 courses, extraordinarily good value too. Service was wonderful, friendly and attentive. Thanks for a great evening Sarah and Tony!

Upon reading reviews of this place on trip advisor. I thought it would be nice to pop in for some lunch. The food was very affordable and very high quality. We paid just under €20 each for 3 courses. The choices were limited. You had two starters, three mains and two deserts to choose from. Keeping selection small I guess made them extremely good at the dishes they did offer. If you go you won't be disappointed.

Every time I went there it was Wonderfull. Everyone was kind and the food delicious. I come from Brussels for that

There's a Real Master Chef in the kitchen. Elaborated tasty exquisit food ! Just go there blindly. Make a reservation might be a good go !

This was lovely spot to sit outside even though on street. Staff were very friendly and tried hard to please. Lunch was only fish and chips but very nice. Also served good French style coffee.

A total suprise! Absolutely brilliant. I cannot recommend highly enough. We spent 3 months in Paris , Rue de Paul Bert etc etc, searching for this foodie experience! Ambience and luxurious surroundings are no contender but the food andthe love that so obviously went into preparing cookin AND serving it, most certainly are right up there! Memorable!!!!!

Having stayed in Fecamp quite a few times we have never managed to get a table at this restaurant. It is quite small and only open certain evenings and lunch times. The menu is limited but the food was beautifully prepared and served. Although small the restaurant has a lovely atmosphere and is a must when in Fecamp
