Enjoy the gastronomy of Dunkirk

Let's talk gastronomy: carbonade flamande, a Belgian dish that has been adopted by the Nord, is made from beef cooked with onions, beer and vergeoise. Traditionally, Flemish carbonade, which is best served the next day, is served with home-made chips and a good local beer. The traditional moules-frites are a must during your stay in Dunkirk with home fries of course.
