If you like mussels, don't look any further. There's a reason why this place is a local institution. True, there's only one dish, no variations. But they're SO GOOD and so fresh that you don't need anything else. They let the mussels speak for themselves, and for such a fair price. I really enjoyed it, and I'm usually not a mussels lover.

When I was a child, the North of France was a popular destination because of the good weather, beautiful surroundings and gastronomy. It seems like time has stopped in Café Chez Nicole, because when we went there for dinner last weekend it looked exactly the same as 18 years ago. The same modest menu (mussels with fries or ham with fries), the same huge portions of mussels (the picture shows a serving of two) and even the same bartenders. The mussels were quite small and had a white appearance, but the taste was great! No sand or crabs in them. The fries looked greasy at first but were delicious, and had a good crunch to them. The Tarte Papin (a flan cake with plums) that I took for dessert was light and creamy. Unfortunately I found only 1 dried plum in my piece though. Chez Nicole is a simple, low-key place, but expect to enjoy a friendly, local atmosphere!
