Fleur de Chef sur Lille

09/05/2024: A group of 12 of us descended upon this place early evening on Wednesday 8th May. They checked they could accommodate us and initially seated us at two 6 seater tables towards the back but as soon as a 12 seater became available they moved us. The orders were taken, complimentary crisps provided and we settled in. Our drinks arrived promptly and the food arrived, pretty much all at the same time about 10 minutes later. I went for the Steakhouse Burger in a black bread bun as the picture shows. They cobbled up a vegan burger for a friend and another had a burger in a brioche bun. One person had the fish. The rest went for various steaks. My burger was very nice, essentially a cheese and bacon burger. The other burgersxand fish went down well. Pretty quickly on it became clear that the steaks, especially the sirloins, were well below expectation and were put to the side. This was brought to the attention of the staff and fair play to them they reduced the bill significantly. Overall, this is a high volume, medium priced, through trade, steak restaurant right in the tourist centre of Lille where the Eurostar from Brussels and London stops  so it will get a lot of tourist trade. Accordingly it's not a top end, limited customer, steak speciality, restaurant and you should adjust your expectations accordingly. That said the steaks were below the standard expected of an equivalent Aberdeen Steak House you would find in London's West End at a similar price point. Beyond that the staff were very busy but looked after us brilliantly.
