Restaurant in Paris, France
Michelin-recognised fusion at an accessible price.
Le Mezquité holds a Michelin Plate for 2024 and 2025 and scores 4.6 from 250 Google reviews — strong, consistent credentials for a fusion restaurant at the €€ price point. Located in Le Touquet-Paris-Plage, this is a deliberate destination meal rather than a city-centre stop, but the value against comparable Michelin-recognised addresses in Paris is hard to argue with.
Le Mezquité holds a Michelin Plate for the second consecutive year (2024 and 2025), which is the inspectors' signal that the kitchen is producing food worth your attention without yet crossing into star territory. That distinction matters when you're deciding whether to commit to the journey: Le Touquet-Paris-Plage is a coastal resort town roughly two and a half hours from central Paris by train, so this is a deliberate destination meal, not a casual weeknight dinner. The Google rating of 4.6 from 250 reviews adds weight to the Michelin recognition — volume and score together suggest consistent execution rather than a single great visit. If you've eaten here once and enjoyed it, that consistency is the main reason to return.
The cuisine is listed as fusion, which at the €€ price point is genuinely unusual. Fusion at this tier in France typically means one of two things: a kitchen drawing on multiple regional traditions with real skill, or a kitchen using the label to excuse inconsistency. The Michelin Plate two years running suggests the former. At €€, Le Mezquité sits well below the price of comparable Michelin-recognised addresses in Paris proper , venues like Alléno Paris au Pavillon Ledoyen or Arpège operate at €€€€, where a tasting menu can reach €350 or more per person. Le Mezquité's positioning means the entry cost to a Michelin-recognised experience here is considerably lower, which changes the value calculation significantly for a return visitor thinking about frequency.
For diners coming back after a first visit, the fusion framing is worth paying attention to. Fusion menus at this level tend to follow a narrative arc across courses , contrasting textures and temperatures early, building toward richer, more layered combinations, then a clean finish. If your first visit felt like the kitchen was showing its range, a second visit is the moment to pay attention to how the progression is structured: whether the early courses are genuinely setting up what follows or simply running in parallel. That's the difference between a kitchen with a point of view and one that's assembling interesting plates. The Michelin recognition across two consecutive years suggests the former, but the detail of how the menu moves is something to test on a return.
The address , 70 Rue de Paris, Le Touquet-Paris-Plage , places this in a town that sees strong seasonal traffic. Le Touquet is a well-established coastal resort with a history of drawing Parisian and British visitors, particularly in summer and over long weekends. Booking difficulty is rated Easy, which is the correct expectation for a €€ fusion restaurant outside a major city, but that assessment may shift during peak season. The practical recommendation: if you're planning around a summer weekend or a French public holiday, book further in advance than you would ordinarily need to. Off-season visits , autumn through early spring , will give you more flexibility and likely a quieter room.
No phone or website data is available in the current record, so the booking method requires direct confirmation. Searching the venue name alongside current contact details before you travel is the sensible step. For context on the broader dining options in the region, our full Paris restaurants guide covers the capital's Michelin-tier options, and if Le Touquet is part of a wider France trip, regional benchmarks worth knowing include Flocons de Sel in Megève, Mirazur in Menton, and Troisgros in Ouches , all operating at higher price tiers but useful for calibrating what Michelin recognition means at different levels.
Without firsthand sensory data in the record, the useful framing here comes from the venue's category context. A fusion restaurant at €€ in a French coastal resort town is likely to run warmer and more relaxed in atmosphere than a formal Paris dining room. The energy at this price point in this setting tends toward convivial rather than hushed , a room where conversation carries without effort, which suits a return visit with a partner or a small group. If you found the first visit comfortable in that register, it's a reliable expectation for a second. Solo dining is addressed separately in the FAQ below.
For fusion comparisons at the Michelin-recognised tier, two useful reference points outside France are Ajonegro in Logroño and Arkestra in Istanbul , both operating in the fusion category with strong local reputations. Closer to home, Paris addresses worth knowing for a different register of the fusion conversation include Akabeko, La Table de Maïna, and Signature Montmartre. None of these are direct competitors to Le Mezquité geographically, but they calibrate what fusion at various price points looks like across France.
For the classic French fine dining frame , useful context if Le Mezquité is part of a broader itinerary , Auberge de l'Ill in Illhaeusern, Bras in Laguiole, and Paul Bocuse in Collonges-au-Mont-d'Or represent the institutional end of the French dining tradition. Le Mezquité is doing something structurally different from all of these , a lower price point, a fusion frame, and a coastal resort setting , which is precisely why the Michelin Plate carries weight here. The inspectors are not grading on a curve for location.
If your first meal at Le Mezquité worked, the case for going back is direct: the Michelin Plate held for a second year, the Google score is stable across a meaningful sample, and the price point makes a return visit financially easier to justify than most Michelin-recognised addresses in France. The thing to focus on this time is the menu's internal logic , how the courses relate to each other, not just whether each one is good. That's the level of attention the kitchen appears to be operating at, and it's the most useful lens for deciding whether this is somewhere you'll keep returning to. For broader Paris planning, our Paris hotels guide, bars guide, wineries guide, and experiences guide cover the full picture.

How Le Mezquité stacks up against the competition.
This is a Michelin Plate-recognised fusion restaurant in Le Touquet-Paris-Plage, holding the award for both 2024 and 2025 — the inspectors' signal for consistent quality cooking. The €€ price point makes it accessible by French restaurant standards, which is genuinely unusual for Michelin-acknowledged fusion. Le Touquet is a seasonal coastal town, so expect a different crowd depending on whether you visit in summer or off-peak. Go with an open mind on the fusion format; this is not a traditional French bistro.
At €€, yes — two consecutive Michelin Plates at this price tier represents strong value by any French restaurant benchmark. For comparison, Michelin-recognised fusion at this format in major cities typically costs considerably more. The 4.6-star rating across 250 reviews suggests the kitchen delivers consistently, not just on special occasions. If you are already in Le Touquet, the case for booking is clear.
Le Touquet draws strong seasonal traffic, particularly in summer and on weekends, so booking at least one to two weeks ahead is a practical baseline during busy periods. Off-season, shorter notice may be sufficient, but the Michelin Plate recognition and a 4.6 Google score mean this restaurant has an audience beyond walk-in locals. No direct booking channel is listed in the public record, so check the restaurant directly for current availability.
A €€ fusion restaurant with Michelin recognition is generally well-suited to solo diners — the price point removes the financial pressure, and fusion menus typically lend themselves to single-cover ordering without the awkwardness of large sharing formats. There is no counter or bar seating confirmed in the available data, so solo visitors should book a table rather than assuming walk-in bar seating exists. For solo diners prioritising atmosphere over cuisine, Le Touquet's coastal setting adds context that a city restaurant cannot offer.
Specific menu format and pricing are not confirmed in the available record, so a direct verdict on a tasting menu is not possible here. What is confirmed: the kitchen holds a Michelin Plate for two consecutive years at a €€ price range, which suggests the kitchen's output justifies the ticket relative to comparable French restaurants. If a tasting menu is offered, the combination of Michelin recognition and accessible pricing makes it a lower-risk commitment than most equivalent formats in Paris or larger French cities.
