Gourmet products local specialties and wines Dunkirk

At the beginning of the 18th century, fishermen's wives sold fish on the Minck, at the foot of the Leughenaer tower and right next to the fishing boats. In 1863, a covered market was built on the Minck. In 1902, a superb building was inaugurated and became the fish market, where the Bazennes (fishermen's wives) boasted the quality of their products. The building did not survive the war, but it is still possible to buy freshly landed fish at unbeatable prices at the aubettes! Four aubettes are regularly open.

The house has been in existence for over a hundred years! The specialty? The Doigts de Jean Bart, well known to the people of Dunkerque. These almond cakes are made with a coffee cream and coated with chocolate. Delicious and ultra greedy! Since then, several versions have been created: peanut praline, fleur de sel, dark chocolate or even violet. The other pastries served here are also worth the detour. Not to mention the wide range of chocolates created on site.

Cornet d'Amour is a delight for the taste buds for a snack break or just to treat yourself after a dive in the North Sea. Since 1896, when Francesco Gualano founded this ice cream parlour, his descendants have been delighting you with their artisanal ice creams. Today, Franck Verschave regularly travels to Italy to discover new flavors and trends to share and taste. In front of the window, the choice is difficult: licorice, caramel fleur de sel, vanilla pecan gourmet, rum grape, rhubarb sorbet, mojito ...

Between the canals and not far from the North Sea, next to the homonymous theater, there is a new microbrewery, whose beers are already (literally) winning laurels at international competitions, and the new emblem of Dunkirk's legendary creativity: the Brasserie des 4 écluses! Here you can visit with Eric François, brewer and master of the place. The passion and love of a job well done transpire from every pore of his skin and the visit ends with the inevitable tasting... in moderation!
