“ Les Vapeurs is a timeless gem that has been serving the freshest seafood since 1927. This classic establishment is renowned for its oysters, which are among the freshest you'll find anywhere. Their seafood towers are a feast for the senses, offering a stunning array of delicacies from the sea, all presented beautifully. The grilled fish is perfectly cooked, maintaining a delicate balance of flavors that highlight the freshness of the ingredients. However, the real standout for me were the mussels—spectacularly tender and flavorful, though they come without the traditional side of French fries, which might be a minor disappointment for those expecting the classic "moules-frites" experience. Overall, Les Vapeurs offers a superb seafood dining experience with a rich history and an enduring commitment to quality. If you're a seafood lover, this place is a must-visit. ”
“ Les Vapeurs visit this summer was magical - we’ve been many times over the years - but this season I found the resto reinvigorated...! Staff had numerous women in significant roles, young people being trained in the art of the French brasserie.... And they had the now elusive Turbot-tin to boot...! ”
“ From the moment we stepped inside, our dejeuner unfolded with effortless grace. Though the restaurant was bustling, we were welcomed without hesitation, guided to our table as if it had been waiting just for us. The staff moved with quiet confidence, their professionalism woven with warmth. They spoke to us in French, slipping into English when needed, always patient, always kind. We began with oysters, their briny sweetness a perfect prelude to the steaming pot of mussels and crisp golden fries that followed. Each bite was a delight, each sip of the sommelier’s chosen Petit Chablis a perfect harmony of freshness and depth. Some meals nourish more than just the body—they linger, becoming part of a memory you want to revisit. This was one of those meals. ”
“ We just arrived from Istanbul and came to have dinner here. We accidentally came here instead of another restaurant that we wanted. The service was excellent, they knew we didn’t speak French so they gave us English menus with out asking. The food was great we had seafood. Must try if in the area. ”
“ Perfect evening at Les Vapeurs. An institution in Trouville and Deauville. Probably the best mussels with cream in the world. French fries are home made and perfect as well. The service is always attentive and professional. Leave some room for desert. ”
