Rive Restaurant

Located in Houlle, in the heart of the marshlands and just 200 metres from the Persyn distillery, RIVE is a warm and intimate destination only a few minutes from Saint-Omer and Ardres, and less than 45 minutes from Dunkirk and Calais. The setting offers a rare sense of comfort: well-spaced tables, soft lighting, and attentive, genuine service.

Cuisine That Stays Grounded

At RIVE, Chef Jérôme Cousin creates refined yet never pretentious cuisine, guided by the seasons, daily market arrivals, and local producers. Everything here is homemade: bread shaped and baked on site, house-smoked salmon, carefully crafted sauces, and perfectly mastered cooking techniques.

Our menu, concise, sincere, and generous, changes every week to follow the chef’s inspiration and the authenticity of the ingredients, while our additional menu evolves with the seasons. Every plate tells a story: that of the Audomarois marshlands, the market gardeners, breeders, artisans, and local distilleries that inspire and support us every day.

RIVE has established itself as a contemporary dining destination where guests come in search of balance, understated elegance, and the pure emotion of fine ingredients — all brought to life by a chef who cooks with conviction, humility, and high standards.
