Le Bouchot is a fish and seafood restaurant at 3 rue Chanzy, a short distance from Arras railway station. Its name signals the main speciality: mussels, served with different sauces depending on the menu, in a conventional table-service restaurant. Other seafood and some meat dishes broaden the choice for groups with mixed preferences.

A seafood address near the station

Le Bouchot brings a clear speciality to the traditional restaurant selection in Arras. Rue Chanzy is easy to reach from the platforms and remains only a short walk from the historic centre. The location suits travellers eating before a train, local workers and visitors who prefer to step away from the busiest square-side terraces.

A relatively intimate restaurant

The setting is that of a classic restaurant with bookings and table service. Public information mentions seated dining, a bar and high chairs for families. As this is not a vast brasserie, booking can be useful on Friday and Saturday evenings and during busy Arras weekends.

Mussels, fish and seafood

Mussels are the clearest reference point on the menu. Several preparations may be available, with recipes changing according to season and the restaurant's current choices. Fish and other seafood extend the range. For a seafood restaurant directly on the Place des Héros, La Passe-Pierre explores a similar marine theme.

Checking the catch and current menu

Seafood naturally depends on supply, so ask about the day's suggestions rather than relying on one particular fish. Guests allergic to shellfish or molluscs should tell the team clearly, even if ordering meat, because several marine products are handled in the same kitchen.

When should you choose Le Bouchot?

The restaurant suits a quiet lunch near the station or a dinner centred on mussels and fish. Its price range is moderate for table service. For broader French brasserie cooking in a larger central dining room, Le Carpe Diem is an alternative.

Families and groups

A mixed group can choose between seafood and a few non-seafood dishes, but vegetarians should check the menu beforehand. Families can ask about children's portions or adaptations. Groups should book and describe dietary requirements, especially when several diners want platters or preparations requiring advance planning.

Practical information

Online opening hours may change, with different lunch and dinner services and weekly closing days. A call before travelling avoids disappointment. Guests with particular accessibility requirements can consult the public Acceslibre entry and confirm the exact table, facilities and route with the restaurant.

Access and sightseeing

The restaurant is a quick walk from the station. After the meal, rue Chanzy leads towards the belfry, Place des Héros and Grand'Place. This makes Le Bouchot convenient for combining seafood with a train arrival or departure while still exploring historic Arras.
