Meert Restaurant sur Lille

Maison Méert, in a wonderful setting just steps from Lille's Grand Place, is well worth a visit. However, the queue to eat in was quite long, so we opted for takeaway pastries. The desserts by the slice were delicious, with a special mention for the vanilla flan, which was particularly well done. We didn't leave without trying the famous vanilla waffles, but they turned out to be slightly below our expectations and, above all, a bit too soft and sweet after the pastries. A minor drawback was the dining room, which was otherwise very pretty: the heat was almost unbearable. We don't know if the air conditioning hadn't been turned on that day or if it simply doesn't exist. This is somewhat concerning in an establishment that serves products sensitive to heat. In the end, we didn't regret not staying for dessert.

A wonderful discovery! I loved the atmosphere, both elegant and welcoming. The products offered are truly excellent, with a special mention for the tea, which I particularly enjoyed. The welcome was also excellent, as was the dessert. A delightful place with wonderful flavors. I highly recommend it! ✨

Maison Méert presents itself as a grand, historic, and upscale gourmet establishment. Upon entering, I admired the pastries, which were very attractive, but I found the prices rather high, especially for the chocolate éclair. I ultimately opted for a scoop of salted caramel ice cream at €3.50. The portion was quite generous for a single scoop, making the price somewhat more reasonable. The ice cream was good, with a texture I particularly enjoyed, and the flavor was quite pronounced. The woman who served me was also very professional. However, I felt that the entire experience—from the presentation of the products to the staff's attire and demeanor, and the overall ambiance—was perhaps a little too contrived and staged compared to what I ultimately discovered. The products are good, but perhaps I was expecting something more memorable given the establishment's positioning. An enjoyable experience overall, but not enough to leave an exceptional impression on me.

We absolutely loved our visit to Méert in Lille. Such a beautiful place and the French pâtisserie is incredible — everything looks almost too good to eat! We stayed for lunch and the food was delicious, with a lovely glass of wine to go with it. The service was warm, friendly and attentive, which made the whole experience even nicer. One of those places that feels like a real treat to visit. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in Lille.

This was a shop I absolutely wanted to visit when I came to Lille. I ate inside, but the glass-enclosed terrace seating was also lovely. I wanted to take some waffles back home as a souvenir, but unfortunately, they wouldn't last until their expiration date, so I gave up. However, when I went to the Bon Marché food hall in Paris before returning home, they were selling boxed waffles (6 pieces), so I was happy that I could bring them back as a souvenir. There was an ice cream cart outside the shop, and there was a long line.

Beautiful setting, refined and delicious pastries

A little luxury in Lille, Beautiful cakes, great service, lovely surroundings a real treat. loved it.

It's a traditional restaurant and tea room in Lille, and its pastries are particularly renowned, and rightly so!

Giving Meert Chocolates and sugared almonds as a present from someone who had visited their Paris shop. I am in heaven. For me, just the best.

Super delicious pastries & hot chocolate!
