Why everyone keeps coming back.

Nestled in the charming seaside town of Le Touquet-Paris-Plage, Opaline - Restaurant / Pâtisserie offers an enchanting blend of delightful breakfast and brunch options paired with exquisite patisserie creations. This cozy spot at 43 Av. du Verger invites guests to indulge in a refined culinary experience that celebrates French baking traditions alongside a thoughtful, contemporary menu.

From the moment you step inside Opaline, the warm and inviting atmosphere embraces you. The tasteful decor and intimate scale create a perfect setting for leisurely mornings and sunny afternoons alike. A unique highlight is the view from their small lawn seating area, where guests can admire the iconic Le Touquet lighthouse — a picturesque backdrop that enhances every visit.

Opaline excels in presenting an array of beautifully crafted pastries that are as visually stunning as they are delicious. Customers have raved about the lightness and elegance of these desserts, with some declaring the croquembouche here the best they’ve ever tasted. It’s this artistry in pastry-making that makes Opaline a standout destination for those with a sweet tooth. Whether it’s flaky, buttery croissants or delicate confections, each bite bursts with authentic flavor and masterful technique.

The brunch offerings are equally compelling, featuring fresh and thoughtfully composed plates that pair perfectly with their signature pastries. The balance of textures and flavors delights the palate, drawing in guests looking for a satisfying yet refined start to the day. Friendly and attentive staff enhance the experience, effortlessly bridging language barriers and offering genuine hospitality.

While most visitors leave enchanted by Opaline’s charm and delicious fare, some note that the intimate size means the place fills quickly, especially on weekends. Early arrival is recommended to secure a seat at this popular local treasure. The fair pricing reflects the quality and location, though a few patrons have differing opinions on the value, which is arguably part of the subjective and personal nature of taste.

Whether you’re savoring a perfectly brewed coffee paired with a delicate éclair, enjoying a sunny brunch with fresh pastries, or simply relaxing with a cup of tea while soaking up the coastal view, Opaline offers a sweet, sensory-lit escape in the heart of Le Touquet. It’s a spot that captures both the art of French patisserie and the laid-back elegance of a seaside retreat.

For visitors craving a memorable dining experience where every bite tells a story of craftsmanship and love for good food, Opaline is a must-visit destination.

What a sweet place to visit on a sunny day! This small scale coffee/tea shop serves desserts with a wow: the pastry is absolutely georgeous and the scenery is unique: from the small lawn one has a great view on the only lighthouse Le Touquet still has. We tried the brunch including one of the best pastries ever eaten: they're light, good looking and they taste like they look: absolutely deliciuous. Still hesitating?

The place is tiny and the pastry looked wonderful sadly it didn’t taste like it looked. Given its France and you can run into a bakery in every corner I did expect something more nicer and better taste given the price and place. My wife threw away her share and preferred what we got from the n cut village

We popped in at 9:30 AM on a Sunday—no brunch menu yet, but plenty of seating. Huge plus: they kindly offered the brunch menu for the kids while we ordered from the regular menu. By 10:30, the place fills up fast, so if you're after the brunch menu (starting at 10:30 or 11 AM), plan accordingly. Food? Fantastic. And if the weather’s great, the outdoor seating—or even the view from inside—makes it even better. Definitely a win!

Lovely place with excellent food, and gorgeous patisserie! Very friendly and helpful staff who were very patient with my middling French! Best croquembouche I’ve ever had! We will definitely be back on our next visit.

Very good atmosphere as we were positioned towards the seaside, good during the summer. The desserts were also delicious!

Popped in for a drink on a coldish winters day, accidentally had fabulous pastries. We had intended getting a coffee in the Westminster Hotel, but this seemed much friendlier and I’m glad we did.

Super nice lunch, nice choice of out of the ordinary salads and lovely home bakes pastries. The brunch looks very nice but didn't taste it. Good choice of tea. I took a salad 'coup de boost', a green tea pear litchi and a citrus pie with orange and grapefruit. My partner took gravlax salmon and a lime cheesecake. Everything was super tasty, freshly made and the service is good.
