While I was on a walking tour through the La Grand'Palace area, our tour guide claimed this was his…read morefavorite spot for a sweet treat. They have two shops along the same street, the one we stopped at had more of a selection. Lacquemant de Lille serves Belgian coffee, pastries, leige styled waffles, and gelato. With a great variety of gelato flavors, you are sure to find one (or more) that you like. Ordering was super simple and the service was very quick. Some of the workers spoke English, some did not. But we were able to order without any problems. The workers are very kind and super efficient as well! There are not any places to sit as this is more of a window/to-go shop.
I ordered 2 flavors, Nutella and stracciatella. Both were great, really smooth, and had good flavor. They were also the perfect size and not too heavy (something I appreciate about gelato). Both flavors really complimented each other and I would recommend either!
This is a good spot to hit up if you are in need of a sweet treat. With a great selection, they are sure to have something for everyone. I thought the price was pretty fair as well. I'm not sure if this is "the best gelato in Lille", but it was satisfying enough!
