Worth the detour. Perfect little French bar with maritime atmosphere. Easy 5 stars.

I have visited this place off and on since 2000. Great locals bar opposite the fresh fish stalls in the port, just up from the main street. The atmosphere is pure Calais French. The fact that the owners don't speak English (as mentioned by another reviewer) should only reassure you that you are not in some tourist trap. I would be interested to know how many landlords in Dover speak French? Good selection of wines by the glass and a local beer on tap. Come in smile, shake a few hands and enjoy real northern French hospitality Highly recommended!

What a lovely café. Very friendly and great coffee, so good we had a second cup.

This place is charming. The owner came over to shake our hand once we sat down and took our order. Drinks were reasonably priced - two beers, glass of wine and a diet coke came to €12. Be prepared for the regulars to come round the tables on arrival and shake your hand. It took us by surprise initially but after the 5th person shook our hand and said hello we just went with the flow. Such a great thing to do - the world needs more places like this!
