The story
Bistrot du Pollet sits on the narrow Rue Tête-de-Bœuf, in the heart of Dieppe’s historic Pollet neighbourhood – once home to the city’s fishing community. The address alone hints at the kitchen’s focus: seafood, drawn from the nearby Channel waters. The restaurant earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand for 2026, an award that rewards “good quality, good value cooking.” It’s a straightforward endorsement: honest, skilful cooking at a fair price, without pretension.
The interior is a classic French bistrot – modest tables, a chalkboard specials, a short but thoughtful wine list. The cooking follows the seasons and the morning’s catch. Dishes change daily, but you can expect simply prepared fish and shellfish, perhaps a plate of Dieppe scallops in season or a bowl of moules marinières. Nothing is overworked; the ingredients speak.
For a taste of Dieppe’s maritime character without ceremony, Bistrot du Pollet delivers exactly what the Bib Gourmand promises: well-executed seafood in an unpretentious setting.
