Comète is in the centre of the seaside resort, near the beach. Each dish by chef Victor Nicolas is a reminder of his Michelin-starred career in Paris and, more particularly, his time working for Christophe Pelé: the dishes are on the creative side, the ingredients top-notch, the no-frills preparations don't mess around, the sauces are elegant and the condiments punchy. For example, spider crab, fennel and strawberries; roast brill, potatoes, chard and meunière sauce. The decoration of this small old-school bistro (old pine floorboards, salvaged and mismatched furniture, vintage-style light fittings) does the rest.
