Brasserie Andre sur Lille

It hasn't changed since it opened, and that's a good thing.

Very good classic restaurant with dishes from classic French cuisine. Friendly, trained staff; good French cuisine; very beautiful traditional interior; only the fries are a bit disappointing.

Stepping into Brasserie André is like stepping back in time. The decor evokes traditional brasseries of yesteryear, which is a wonderful touch on a busy shopping street. The menu is extensive, though not overwhelming. They serve classic dishes at reasonable prices for quality cuisine! The service is impeccable, with helpful recommendations from the waiter. I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment.

A typical brasserie. Nothing more…

A Lille institution and an excellent choice! It's the oldest brasserie in Lille, and the decor is stunning. The service is impeccable; I loved the waiter, who gave us great advice and made the final decision for every indecision we made—very much appreciated. I had a hanger steak with shallots, homemade fries, and a crème brûlée; it was delicious. Expect to pay between €20 and €30 for main courses and a little over €10 for desserts. There's also a wide selection of starters. A true old-fashioned brasserie, just the way we like them—I highly recommend it.

A wonderful, authentic French brasserie. Not for a quick coffee, but for real, authentic French food. It has been a household name in Lille for 100 years for good reason. Highly recommended.

We arrived just before the kitchen closed, but the welcome was friendly and professional. We were told we could only order one main course and one dessert, so there were no surprises. The meat was excellent, and the cooking time was perfect. The desserts were generous and of good quality. The dining room was rather quiet given the late hour of our visit, but it was steeped in history (we're not from the area). The service was pleasant and not rushed. The prices are reasonable for this type of establishment. Thank you for a lovely, relaxing dinner for two.

We shared a wonderful time as a family (2 adults and 2 children) enjoying traditional mussels and fries at the Lille flea market. The homemade fries were excellent, and the staff were attentive, providing quality service despite the large crowds. The vintage decor created a warm and memorable atmosphere. The prices were reasonable for the quality of the food.

Context: Lille Braderie The menu was adapted for Braderie day, but we were quite disappointed. Okay, the bouchot mussels were small due to the heatwave; it was even written on the menu, so we were warned. But this was the only restaurant out of three days that served us ridiculously small mussels, more the size of clams than mussels... The restaurant is decorated in a retro style, and the waiters were efficient but not very welcoming. (One of them took the salt from my table and put it on another without even asking if I was going to put more on my fries!) And let's not even talk about the young people working their first Braderie shift; I think everyone is ripping off the Braderie participants, and nobody seems to care anymore. The prices are much higher than elsewhere, without any justification. In short, enjoy the Braderie and come to this kind of establishment when it's quiet and they have a proper menu.

As a person with reduced mobility, I was well received despite the crowds at the flea market, thank you.
