L'essentiel sur Saint-Andre-Lez-Lille

Worth the detour. Just outside the old center. Top chef with attention to detail in his dishes. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

The minute beef at L'Essentiel is delicious. Thank you to the team! It's a bit difficult to find a parking space near the train station.

A wonderful time in a friendly and very pleasant setting.

L'Essentiel has officially become our go-to spot for meetings! We had lunch there today in the beautiful garden, perfectly seated in the shade as requested. The staff is incredibly attentive and the welcome is always warm. As for the food, everything was excellent: there were five of us, each of us chose a different dish, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. We wholeheartedly recommend this place!

Nestled in a quiet corner of St. André, it was a lovely and delightful discovery. The dishes and specialties are generous, the cuisine authentic, the welcome warm, and the prices quite reasonable. We'll definitely be back to try more of their mouthwatering specialties!

Perfect place to meet up with friends, family, or even a loved one. The food is excellent, the service is top-notch, and the staff are incredibly attentive; you won't want for anything! I highly recommend it.

Clean and high-quality restaurant. The 400-gram rib-eye steak was a real treat. Pleasant and efficient service. A welcoming atmosphere. Well done to the team and the chef! Bravo!

Overall, and objectively speaking, we had a moderately good meal... except for the dessert, which was excellent. We shared our feedback with the owner who, far from being offended, explored our motivations with the aim of improving. So, being attentive, she offered us dessert on the house. Therefore, I gave it 4 stars for the owner's commitment to improvement. We will be back.

Excellent value for money. Quick and efficient service, ideal for lunch with friends or even a romantic dinner. Highly recommended!

So good that it's highly recommended to book in advance, even on weekdays! Special mention for the beef specialty!
