Estaminet de la petite place sur Douai

Very disappointed with the Flemish carbonnade; the meat was very tough, it should normally be tender.

Every time I'm in Douai, L'Estaminet is a must-visit. The setting is warm and inviting, the atmosphere very pleasant. The food is delicious, and very importantly, the service is always top-notch! Smiles and good cheer are always on the menu. I highly recommend it; you can go without hesitation! 🥰

A fantastic find! The portions were generous and the food was delicious – a real treat! The owner is very friendly, highly recommended! Tourists from Brittany

Great place, I highly recommend it! Excellent food for traditional regional dishes; Welsh rarebit, carbonnade, and also top-notch Maroilles sausage... The welcome is warm and the decor is typical. The set menu includes a free mini coffee for €17 (main course, drink, and coffee). Thank you to Martine, the owner, and the waitress for your hospitality. I highly recommend it!

We ate at this establishment last night, a table of 16. We received a very warm welcome from beginning to end of the meal; the service, the food, and the atmosphere were all truly superb. It's not easy to completely satisfy such a large group, and they succeeded. One thing to say: we can't wait to come back!

Very pleasant atmosphere Delicious food Excellent value for money Highly recommended

A pleasant surprise, excellent food, top-notch service, what more could you ask for?

Impeccable! We had a wonderful meal! Warm welcome! I highly recommend it.

Very warm and friendly welcome. Good value for money. Excellent cuisine. See you soon!

I've lived in Douai for 10 years, and I wanted to try this place out of curiosity. The welcome was warm, the terrace lovely (in summer), and it's a beautiful place steeped in history. However, the TV was on, along with the birdsong and music, which felt a bit out of place (it was disconcerting). As for the food, the Welsh rarebit wasn't up to par, especially the texture (the cheese itself wasn't bad), but it felt like the cheese had just been dumped on top of beer-soaked bread. (Having tried about twenty different places), it doesn't make my list. For the veal gratin with Maroilles cheese, I wish I'd had a meat knife (it was difficult to cut), it was overcooked, and there was a lot of water in the bottom of the gratin dish. For me, the experience wasn't great, but the fries were good overall. The French toast was alright for dessert, although I would have liked it a bit more caramelized for a more indulgent touch. I'll go back to my usual favorite spots. Outside Douai
