We had the regional specialties of Welsh Complet which was slices of bread and ham covered in a rich mixture of cheddar cheese, mustard, and beer topped with an egg and Carbonade Flamande, a Flemish beef stew made with beer, gingerbread and sugar. Both were served with a generous helping of French fries.

It's a small, nicely decorated, casual dining place with a few tables on the ground floor and four or five more on the top floor which is where I would recommend taking your supper if you have the choice. The menu is split into choices from the "North" and the "South" - as you would expect the southern dishes are a little lighter and have a more Meditteranean flavour while the northern dishes on offer are pretty much the Flemish classics you will find all over town. There is an English menu available if you need help with the translation. The wine list is very compact with a choice of 3 or 4 unremarkable whites and reds around the 20€ mark. There is a reasonable choice of beer including the local trois monts and a few other decent brews by the bottle. We shared a shrimp croquette to start which was quite light and tasty. It came with a cream cheese accompaniment and some nicely presented salad. Good dish to start with and plenty for two to share. My main course of carbonnade flamande was a pretty good version of this local classic but lacked a little bit in terms of depth of flavour. The beef was good but could perhaps have benefited from being teamed up with a more interesting beer in the pot. On the plus side it came with some decent home made frites. B went South and had the carbonara poulet gorgonzola which she declared to be tasty but not a dish to knock the socks off. We were full by this point so we skipped dessert and had a cafe with an armagnac to finish what had been a pleasant but fairly average meal. If you know where to look you will find much better in Lille but I can see why Le Petite Table gets good reviews,that are well deserved, on the tourist websites.

I got there around 19:30, half an hour before the place filled up completely. By 20:15 they were…read moreturning people away. The service was better than at most Continental places I've been to, and they were good-natured about struggling a bit with English while I struggled a bit with French. I started with a slice of cheese quiche (goyère au corré de vinage) and had the vol a vent (chicken with mushrooms in a béchamel over a pastry). It was all quite good, though with all the richness and dairy, the Flemish food can make you a little phlegmish.
