Quai 38 sur Lille

Delightful restaurant, delicious sauces, booking essential

Incredible. Absolutely fantastic restaurant with every aspect so well thought out. Gorgeous dining room with discreet and beautiful dividers that make every seat feel intimate and special and cut the noise of a huge space. Nice, professional service, at just the right level- never too friendly or familiar, but never too posh. The food, just amazing. It is expensive, but absolutely worth every single penny. You can see, smell, taste and feel the quality in every dish, every bite and the portions are very big, so uncommon in restaurants of this level. The starter alone could have been a full meal, but you really should not stop there, you have to order a main. We eat out a lot and I would estimate the normal portion of fish at other places to be around 150/200 grams max, for sure, what Quai 38 offered was 300/350 grams.... with a delicious and very substantially filling side of vegetables, carbs, sauce. Again, it is not a budget restaurant, but the value you receive, the quantity, quality and presentation and service make it MORE than worth every single penny spent. It's been 24 hours and I am already dreaming of going back. We have tried nearly all the Michelin-starred restaurants in the surrounding area, as well as throughout Europe. This meal was without a doubt in my top five.

Excellent restaurant! I had a great time with my family.

The best fish restaurant in the city!

This is a lovely restaurant tucked away in a back street of Lille. Wonderful seafood cooked with imagination. The couple running it couldn't be nicer, even though my french is close to non-existent. A great atmosphere.

Great everything - food, atmosphere, service and people. Delicio!

A very pleasant place; the owners are very friendly and professional. The food is excellent and plentiful. Beautiful decor. See you soon!

We had dinner at Quai 38 with a reservation to celebrate our 12th wedding anniversary. The service and welcome were pleasant, no complaints whatsoever. The kitchen was responsive and lived up to expectations. The wait between courses was perfect, neither too quick nor too long. The staff was attentive to any questions or requests. The chef even came to chat with the customers, which was a nice touch! Perhaps it was just a one-off that evening, but we felt a little background music would have been nice. Aside from that, the atmosphere was superb, and the other customers' voices weren't too loud.

All dishes are à la carte. Very classy decor, very pleasant service. Although the dishes are excellent, they are far too expensive. We opted for starters at around €22, to which you have to add €10 to make them... main courses. A surprise awaited us with the desserts: no menu, but we were asked to choose from six desserts without being told the price. Around €12 for the cake 😁 when the waitress finally inquired. We left without ordering dessert. 🥺

Absolutely delicious. A must-try in Lille.
