Crocodile sur Villeneuve-D'Ascq

06/12/2025: Great restaurant. We came as a group (18 people). Helpful staff, excellent food and service! We'll be back (in a group or on our own). Highly recommended.

02/12/2025: Pleasant restaurant, friendly staff. As already mentioned in the reviews, the portion of salmon terrine with three peppercorns and dill cream, even considering the price, was too small to be enjoyable. I recommend the semi-cooked foie gras with roasted beetroot, honey, and thyme (beetroot is served in a separate ramekin for those who don't like it). Regarding the main courses, the pan-seared scallops with celery root purée and pistachio were perfectly executed, the pan-seared prawns with Fourme d'Ambert sauce and curry were good (a small bowl for waste would be a nice touch), and the dish of the day (chicken blanquette) was good. However, the chicken gratin with Maroilles cheese and endives needs improvement as it was far too greasy (I pointed this out to the waiter). The selection of wines, cocktails, soft drinks, coffee, and even the Irish coffee was excellent.
