Overall, the fix price dinner was like $45 and included: a glass of champagne a bottle of wine (for 2 people) app- salad and pastry with cheese. It was sooo good. I love cheese! entree- prawns, mushrooms, tomatoes, baked potato, probably other stuff too... Good, but not the best part of the meal dessert- anything you want from the tray. Literally anything, If you want 1 or 100.... AMAZING!

Depending on the time you go there, it could be crowded but the good thing is there are tables inside and outside. You have the choice between plenty of possibilities from a classic kebab to a whole plate. I've chosen a galette with samurai sauce and it was very nice, the mixed meat is well good and has nice taste, with red cabbage that enhances the experience. I put only 4 stars because the French fries were not very well cooked and I hate white French fries! It's a dishonor to the potatoes ;-)

Such a great find!…read more Spent a night in Lille after arriving from London with the Eurostar and where looking for a nice place to have a french lunch and decided to try this little bistro in the middle of the city. They have a great value set meny for only 16,90 € for appetizer and entré. I had the chicken liver paté as a starter that was very nice. The star of the place though is the main wich is a thinly sliced perfect medium rare entrecote in a green herb garlic butter sauce thats hard to describe. The meat was so delicious with the sauce and some crispy french fries. Together with a glass of rosé this was the perfect summer lunch in Lille. The waiter was superfiendly and we had a great time there. Value was amazing with a meal that would have easily been double the price back home in Scandinavia.

I was looking forward to eating a nice fillet that evening and was recommended the langue du chat (cat's tongue, never heard of it before), which turned out to be a most tender and juicy, almost fat-free piece of meat, just as I had in mind. The waiters (actually, one waiter, and the chef himself), were very friendly and attentive. Bottom line: If you're looking for a nice piece of meat, accompanied by tasty starters and a good glas or bottle of wine, you should visit this place instead of falling victim to one of the tourist traps in the Rue du Gand.

The service here was extremely friendly and attentive, offering us careful explanations of all their best dishes and accommodating all of our requests! The item to order if you don't know what to choose is the L'Assiette du Nord, a sampler plate which came with small square bowls of four of the Northern French specialties on the menu. The carbonnade was a sweet and savory stew made with tender chunks of beef and onions; the Welsh des Compagnons was a decadent dish of beer boiled with cheese, served over a slice of ham and a slice of bread (pain d'epices); the Pot'jevleesch was a cold terrine made with chunks of pork, chicken, and rabbit in a savory jelly; and the croquette de crevettes was a fritter made with a creamy batter mixed with little shrimps and served with a thick, creamy dip with herbs (almost like tzatziki). Every item on this plate was absolutely delicious, but I was a particular fan of the Welsh (great for spreading on more bread), the Pot'jevleesch (surprisingly flavorful yet refreshing), and the croquettes (the crispy exterior, the creamy, umami interior, and the cooling cream sauce went perfectly together). In addition to the sampler plate, I also ordered the Filet de Bar, or sea bass in a crispy parmesan crust, served over a tomato-onion compote in an iron plate. On the side also came a "bouillabaisse" in a tiny metal pot--this was a boiled soup made with seasonal summer vegetables including eggplant, zucchini, red onions, and tomatoes. This was a light and delicious seasonal dish, and the presentation and flavors of all the food here were extremely on point!

This was my favorite restaurant while visiting Lille…read more This cozy restaurant is set like family style... it has that warmth and shabby chick that you get as you walk into someone's dinning room. Very unpretentious and nice inside... outdoor you will find an open terrace with warm lighting and heaters for those winter days. It is a beautiful place. Having said that, the best part of this restaurant is the food... heart warming dishes, incredibly tasty bread, awesome wines and service couldn't get any better. Service here was friendly and very attentive. I usually heard of people in France being rude... but I could not disagree more. All of the people in this place were friendly... even other people at the restaurant with whom we talked for a bit and got a few recommendations as they are regulars here. We had a salmon tartare, raw tuna steak (very good), steak and fries and a lamb stew that was delicious all followed by a dessert that had a lot of things... I forgot the name but it was huge. Everything here was delicious. Prices are "very" reasonable. This place is a most visit when coming to Lille. Thumbs up.
