Le Quai
A large terrace restaurant on the Quai Belu in the Saint-Leu district, with views across the Somme to the cathedral. It is the most popular place in Amiens for ficelle picarde.
Located at 13–15 Quai Belu in the old Saint-Leu district, beside the Somme River. The terrace faces Amiens Cathedral and is close to the hortillonnages, the floating market gardens. The restaurant has 220 seats, 110 of them outdoors. The menu focuses on Picardy and northern regional dishes. The ficelle picarde, a crêpe of ham and mushrooms baked in cream, is the widely recognized signature. Other dishes include beer-braised beef, rabote apple pastry, and potjevleesch, a northern cold meat terrine. À la carte dishes cost €12–39, and set menus cost €29–35. Open for lunch and dinner every day, including holidays. It is busy in peak season and during the Christmas market, so book ahead. It is about a 6-minute walk from the cathedral.
