Bistrot Chez Polette

I stopped in one morning for coffee and had a wonderful experience. The service was fast and friendly. The gentleman who served us—presumably the owner—was extremely friendly. We were able to exchange a few words, which made the experience even more enjoyable. A simple place with a splendid decor and plenty of history. Highly recommended.

Friendly little restaurant. Fresh produce, homemade. Small menu, but everything is tempting. The whelks, a gem! I highly recommend them to anyone, whether you're a whelk fan or not. Small terrace overlooking the harbor, away from the crowds. Friendly, family atmosphere. We'll be back on our next trip to Dieppe!

While passing through Dieppe, we were tempted by the bistro Chez Polette after seeing the reviews. We were very disappointed when we arrived: the manager told us it was full (for a Thursday lunchtime!). Two minutes later, on the sidewalk, the manager took the time to check if we were still in the area and inform us that a table had just become available due to a cancellation. ​A very appreciated thought! We had a very, very good meal. The starter, main course, and dessert menu was more than affordable. Fresh and delicious ingredients. ​The fries and incredible white wine! ​P.S.: even on weekdays, don't forget to make a reservation to avoid unpleasant surprises 😅.

We ate lunch at Polette's on Wednesday, which was a coincidence because we were on vacation. Everything was perfect, honestly. A very warm welcome, very good food (fresh produce), and a great atmosphere (humor 👍😁). I highly recommend going there (remember to make a reservation).

When we visited you yesterday at noon, there was no more room (1 p.m.). We waited, sitting at the two tables in front of the restaurant, and then we finally had lunch in the same place...the weather was beautiful! No regrets: warm welcome, excellent food, a little quality white wine in a carafe, and a chat with the owner at the end of the meal...We had a great time! Thank you for your kindness, we will be back!

This is a place to stay! A very warm welcome! The food is excellent with fresh produce. Six of us came with a dog and a 2-month-old baby, and the owner fell in love 😁 with him. The prices are reasonable, and there are several menus (starter/main course) or (main course/dessert) or full menus. I highly recommend this restaurant, and we'll be back with great pleasure. ☀️ Reservations are recommended 😉

A haven of peace, an enchanted interlude... Cozy atmosphere, we were right in the middle of a restaurant. A particularly warm and friendly welcome and service. Careful and delicious cuisine. A must-see, truly...

I recommend this bistro in Dieppe. Warm welcome and professional service. Very attentive. We ordered the €23 menu (starter, main course, and dessert). Fresh ingredients were very well prepared. Everything is truly homemade. The dishes were generous. We ate very well. Remember to make a reservation. We went there in August for lunch, and it was full.
