Les meilleurs restaurantsde cuisine française en Lille

08/09/2026: A quick stop for lunch. The daily specials were very good, excellent value for money.

06/09/2026: Lille is such a friendly and welcoming place during Braderie weekend, but not at this establishment. Avoid unless you enjoy poor service. Did not eat but food did not look great so probably dodged a bullet there.

08/09/2026: We came this Saturday during the street fair and were quite disappointed with our meal. I ordered mussels, but half of them were either closed or broken. I asked a waitress if it was possible to fix this, and she told me it wasn't her responsibility and she didn't have time, in a rather unpleasant tone. She didn't even bother to speak to a colleague who could take care of it. I understand the rush, which was only moderate since it was already 2:30 or 3:00 PM, but for €18.50 for a plate of mussels, they should at least show some respect for the customer.

06/09/2026: A wonderful experience at Le Président restaurant in Lille! The service was excellent, with a special mention for Perrine, a very friendly, smiling, and pleasant waitress. Thank you for the warm welcome, I highly recommend it!

06/09/2026: Couldn’t tell you about food as service was so bad we didn’t stay.

24/07/2026: Hospitality is something they still have to learn.

31/07/2026: A quick lunch break during a visit to Lille at this lovely, unpretentious little restaurant. The menu is local and pleasantly limited. The quality is excellent. All in a simple and friendly atmosphere. Located right next to the covered market. I highly recommend it. It's a great find. It's about a ten-minute walk from the main square, the service is better, and the prices are half as much.

21/05/2026: We received a very warm welcome and had a wonderful time. The food was excellent; I highly recommend it.

08/05/2026: €17 for a meat dish and a small potato gratin. Could we have a small salad with it? The same price for burgers that the children didn't like. The tiramisu was good. The brioche bun was good too. The toilets were in a terrible state... Overpriced.

07/05/2026: Half the menu was out of stock because they were closed on May 8th… incomprehensible. I asked for olive oil, and here's what I received (see photo). You be the judge…

11/10/2025: A wonderful lunch break in a cozy establishment offering quality cuisine. A special mention goes to the attentive service.

28/09/2025: We started with Tataki de Thon. Tasted very good. Then Supreme de Volaille which was also perfect. We finished with Assiette de Fromages and Millefeuille aux Fraises. Really nice too. Everything was perfect. We´ll be back.

03/08/2026: I recently switched bakeries after being disappointed with my usual one. The bread is so much better, I highly recommend it. And as a bonus, the baker is friendly.

28/07/2026: I ordered a chicken and vegetable sandwich. It was really quite average, even though it was generously filled; at least there weren't three lettuce leaves. However, the baguette was dry, tasteless, and cardboard-like. That's disappointing coming from a bakery. Instead of chicken, there was a rather disgusting spicy spread. Meh.

26/04/2026: Casino Barrière de Lille (from October 2024) Testimonial report on workplace harassment in this company + Warning about certain security personnel being "fascist and violent" = 12,000,000 people informed worldwide, representing over 65,000 different organizations. + Versatile communication: Maps + 170,700 people, YouTube + 115,200 people, Flyers + 1,000 people *Actions involving 600 people (40% of your posters covered and/or torn down by the "Return" team). This major citizen communication campaign raised awareness among the top Michelin-starred chefs in France. The goal was to change the "bourgeois" mentality of those who believe they can do whatever they want in the kitchen. Each, at their own level, subsequently used communication to reaffirm "rights" through their ideas and originality. It's no coincidence they're number one, unlike the head chefs at the Casino Barrière in Lille who charge customers an average of €40 for a meal that costs €4 (frozen food delivered by truck). Best regards, R-R

05/06/2026: Very warm welcome and I especially thank the staff who retrieved my wallet.

07/04/2026: Super friendly saleswomen, excellent faluches (traditional Haitian clothing).

21/07/2026: Very poorly received. Despite having my ID, I was refused entry, even though there were no problems at other casinos.

19/07/2026: The staff wasn't very welcoming, the gaming tables were overcrowded, and the dealers didn't manage anything. The toilets were disgusting. The location next to the train station and its crowds of intoxicated people doesn't help make this a pleasant place.

20/06/2026: I've been to this bakery several times. Despite the often dirty restrooms, the numerous fruit flies while eating, and what I find disappointing value for money, I kept going back mainly because it was the only bakery in Lille I knew with a space large enough to sit down and work. I should clarify that it's not the price that bothers me: I regularly frequent establishments where the prices are equivalent, or even higher, but where the service is impeccable and the quality of the products fully justifies the price. The impression is that everything is done to cut costs as much as possible, at the expense of service quality and customer comfort. Yesterday, a young woman with light, wavy hair spoke to me in a particularly aggressive and unpleasant manner. At first, I was shocked by the way she spoke to me. After a few seconds, I realized it was the same employee who had spoken to me very inappropriately several months earlier. This time, I decided not to let the situation go and asked her why she was speaking to me that way. Instead of answering, she became even more aggressive. I simply pointed out that the situation was going way too far and that there was clearly a problem with how she spoke to customers. The tone escalated, and she ended up insulting me. Unbelievable. It was impossible to speak to a manager. I do, however, thank Melissa (short, with dark hair), who tried to calm things down and completely understood the problem. She explained that she and the other employee were tired and in the middle of exams. I don't consider that a valid excuse, especially since it was the second time. Many students and young people in France, myself included, work year-round while pursuing their studies, often experiencing fatigue and stress, yet they do not gratuitously disrespect those they serve. Never again.

20/06/2026: First experience eating lunch there. Very good value for money for the sandwich, drink, and dessert deal.

18/08/2026: Excellent brunch with original recipes that are a refreshing change from the usual fare! Special mention to the bissap, a truly wonderful discovery. I highly recommend this place!

10/07/2026: Absolutely freaky! Best place to be! Slight downside: limited seating.

09/03/2026: The opening hours are incorrect; the place is closed at 9pm.

03/12/2025: No heating...daily special more expensive than the à la carte menu No set menus offered Rough food

09/07/2026: Over 40 minutes wait for the order (a joke!), more expensive than other tacos on the street, bad sauce in the taco, avoid at all costs!!!!

25/05/2026: Warm welcome, fast service, a very good snack if you're really hungry, I highly recommend it.

06/09/2026: A lovely spot to spend a pleasant time, with a pretty terrace at the back of the bistro... Shh 🤫

06/09/2026: Taking advantage of the clearance sale to sell pilsners for €9 is a disgrace
