A hidden gem of a restaurant. Delicious food, gorgeous location, and the owners are fabulous. I highly recommend! ETA: We returned for a second meal (with different friends) and found this place to be just as fabulous. It's our absolute favorite restaurant in the area.

Great restaurant in scenic Doelan Le Rive Gauche is located in the center of Doelan, overlooking the harbor. There is a nice dining room and a very scenic terrace across the street with a pleasant view of the harbor. The current owners bought the place 3 years ago. The food is quite good with fresh local products and some bold innovations (beet ice cream). There were 4 of us for lunch; we sat outside. The meal was excellent. After cocktails (the americano is good0, two of us ordered croustillant de chevre (goat cheese roasted with lettuce and honey and bacon), the other 2, local (Merrien) oysters served on the half shell. These were followed with the special of the day, cod or pollack filets served with a delicate sauce and vegetables and lightly spiced monkfish with rice and vegetables. We finished with kouign amman, a local pastry made with butter, more butter and sugar. We had a bottle of Riesling. The total check for 4 people came out to 210 Euros, reasonable in light of the quality of the meal and the location. Service was also good. The owner seems very engaged. The season has now started; they are open every day except Wednesday. We will go back.

A nice place at the border of the harbor with excellent food. I took a "choucroute de la mer" which was full of taste. The mix of the choucroute with the different fishes showed the hand of a chef who masters cooking. My partner dish could only confirm that impression. This kind of food makes me happy.
