Labeled a European region of gastronomy in 2023, Hauts-de-France has always been a choice stopover in terms of taste. Famous chefs are legion, from Florent Ladeyn to Alexandre Gauthier via Christophe Dufossé. And the terroir is incredibly rich.
There are also quite a few remarkable tables there. This is the case, for example, in Lille and throughout its metropolis. Arborescence and Ginko, two relatively recent establishments, made a very good impression on us. Here are four others, to compile in your address book in the capital of Flanders and its metropolis.
Restaurants in Lille and its metropolis: 4 favorite addresses
La Laiterie: dashing institution
La Laiterie has just celebrated its 120th anniversary. It has seen a number of excellent chefs come and go, including the latest, Édouard Chouteau, who arrived in 2019. Having worked in particular with Pierre Gagnaire, in Paris, the cook, with solid know-how and a strong neoclassical DNA, has set up a clever menu, structured around three menus in the evening: one entirely vegetarian, the other focused on exceptional products (line-caught sea bass, sweetbreads, lobster, etc.) and the last
playing the register of land and sea. During this parade, among other things, a subtle tartlet of raw scallops and mushrooms, XO sauce and chicory, a beef ravioli in perfect harmony with a pan of bouchot mussels or a harmonious melee of poultry and haddock, like a large maki, in a seaweed broth. Elegant and fine.
138, avenue de l’Hippodrome, Lambersart, lalaiterie.fr. Menus: €39 (lunch), €49 (lunch), €59 (lunch), €75, €115 and €150.
Rozó: always higher
Two and a half years after leaving Old Lille, Diego Delbecq and Camille Pailleau are thriving in their new Rozó, he with savory, she with sweet. Spread over two floors and 400 square meters of a former printing works in Marcq-en-Barœul, their table was awarded a star in March, less than a year after its opening. Squid in three textures (raw, candied, in chips), flavored with seaweed and sea fennel; squab with salmis sauce completely revisited; variation of honey, white chocolate ganache, lemon jelly and homemade granola with seeds… There’s a lot of fuss in the kitchen, without the plates falling into vain sophistication. And this is evident from the sequence of appetizers, a succession of small haute couture portions.
34, rue Raymond-Derain, Marcq-en-Barœul, restaurant-rozo.fr. Menus: €45 (lunch), €69 (lunch), €98 and €120.
Flint: devastating tapas
Not satisfied with the success of his Braque, chef Damien Laforce doubled down in September. In the very lively rue de Gand, its “bar to devour” quickly found its place. On the program, around fifteen very tasty tapas plates, including some gems: ultra-crispy onion fritters with smoked mayonnaise; cockles deglazed with vin jaune (photo); the croque with smoked ham and goat cheese… To be enjoyed accompanied by a selection
very timely wines.
24, rue de Gand, Lille, 07.83.82.80.14. Card: €30-40.
Beatriz: the breath of Mexico
Mexico all for this new relaxed table located opposite Jean-Baptiste-Lebas Park. The decor isn’t much, but the atmosphere is there and the menu is well executed between addictive pulled pork croquettes and their spicy mayonnaise, tonic pollack ceviche and cozy chicken tacos with mole sauce. In the glass, three tequilas to choose from to vary the pleasures of the margaritas.
46, boulevard Jean-Baptiste-Lebas, Lille, 06.49.81.83.05. Card: €20-40.
