Restaurant Pinar sur Lille

18/08/2024: Very good brunch, varied and quality ingredients. The staff is friendly and the setting is very pleasant

18/08/2024: “Bistro” meal taken on the terrace. The setting is very pleasant, within an island of greenery which makes you forget the city. White tablecloth and thick napkin bode well for the best. The price of the bistro menu (€36) is accessible (be careful, the wines and drinks are much less so) but the choice is very limited. We therefore opted for an a la carte choice, also quite limited since there were only dishes from the menu + possibility of lobster. Unfortunately, not a single vegetarian proposition which would have been welcome. The service is pleasant even if the sometimes very casual outfits of the staff can be surprising for a restaurant of this standing. In detail. Starter: The perfect eggs certainly were. Well done. Dessert: Brownie or rice pudding, simple desserts but which had flavor and were perfectly prepared. For main course, we chose the lobster and, on the other hand, it was a disappointment. It was poorly cooked, rubbery, without much flavor and the beans that accompanied it even took over... It was absolutely not worth the €32/person charged. We were also surprised to be refused a carafe of water... Only bottles are available and, of course, charged for. It wasn't a bad experience, far from it, but the whole thing could be improved.
