What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Le Quai is celebrated for its beautiful riverside location and imaginative French and regional cuisine, with many praising the atmosphere and friendly service. Diners particularly love the ficelle picarde and the overall dining experience. However, some reviews mention a lack of depth in flavor for certain dishes and a less than ideal experience with specific staff members.
"Very good food and drink down by (on) the river. Traditional and local french dishes for all tastes and purses. Rapid, kind, attentive and smiling waiter. Fantastic atmosphere with views of St Leu and across the Somme river the Cathedral above. South facing terrace for when the Northern sun decides to shine. We went a year ago and it was good. A big effort has been made since and everything is even better. Will go back sooner this time !
A perfect meal."

"We came twice as the experience was great. Our waitress was super nice. Food was delicious. Speed of service was great. My only recommendation would be to extend the list of options included in the menu sets. It only had 3 dishes to choose from and we would have loved to be offered a bigger choice."

"This seems to be the place to go when visiting Amiens. There are many resturants in this area but this one seems to have the best ratings overall.
If you want to sit by the river you have to book beforehand.
I had a nice table next to the entrance. Place got packed very fast right when it opened.
Food was excellent.
Staff was friendly and attentive eventhough they had a lot to do.
I can recommend the lam. 🦙"
