- La Table de Christophe Dufossé★★ Michelin Chef Christophe Dufossé has been thriving in his homeland, as his cooking illustrates. This pretty château set in leafy grounds sports a contemporary conservatory extension. Here, he champions organic, self-sufficient and sustainable surf and turf cooking centred on vegetables and produce from the North. Every dish is delicately yet generously crafted – and flanked by robust classic sauces. The dishes speak for themselves – monkfish gratin with a sabayon sauce and its ragout of clams, razor clams and cockles. Other highlights are the bread and sweets, particularly the incredibly lavish dessert10.9km
- L'AubergeBib Not far from Hazebrouck, this Auberge was once a tannery then a barroom in full-blown ‘ch’ti’ tradition, before it morphed into this friendly inn, with a focus on seasonal produce and Flemish roots courtesy of new takes on classic local recipes (Welsh, carbonade). The menu features some surprising combinations, like langoustine with haddock and green peas. Hats off to chef Antonin, who is also a wine buff and thus an excellent source of wine tips.11.9km
- Auberge du Vert Mont★ Michelin Tucked away in the heart of the countryside, chef Florent Ladeyn, an ecological champion from the word go, is a standard-bearer of authentic and indulgent Flemish fare that is deeply rooted in the terroir yet creative, instinctive and enticing. In a simply decorated dining room with exposed beams and views of the hilly Monts de Flandre landscape, the chef gives expression to his passion for charcoal cooking, as his guests take in the show. Firmly committed to local produce, he strews his creations with flowers and plants from the region. His Maroilles cheese fries have attained almost legendar17.2km
- La ConciergerieBib The former caretaker’s lodge in the grounds of Château de Bac-Saint-Maur is now home to this modern restaurant. Bathed in light thanks to huge picture windows, the interior decoration sings an ode to the seasons. Lobster, cucumber and mint to start; monkfish, green peas and smoked sabayon as a main with strawberries and sorrel to finish: the chef aims to surprise with cuisine that is intelligently creative, starring first-rate, local and seasonal produce.13.5km
- Haut Bonheur de la Table★ Michelin Poised between Steenvoorde and Saint-Omer in the heart of Flanders, Cassel is a darling of a brick-built village. A small village for a tiny restaurant. Housed in a beautiful 18C abode with space for just 20 diners, it is run by owners who are truly passionate about fine cuisine. Chef Eugène Hobraiche meticulously crafts contemporary cuisine that goes hand in hand with seasonal produce, using local fruit and vegetables, as well as fish from Dunkirk's market: salmon confit with Sichuan pepper, textures of cabbage and shiitake dashi; roasted pollack, mustard and multi-coloured carrot gnocchi.

- L'ÉpicurieuxBib This spruce, endearing bistro on the main square of Illies is smoothly and passionately run by former Top Chef contestant, Christophe Pirotais and his partner Julie Dieudonné. Their gutsy indulgent cuisine is unveiled in an inspired, big-boned surprise menu, illustrated by a delicate pannacotta of white asparagus with radish-flavoured ice cream or a fillet of seabream escorted by chickpea fritters and a creamy jus of smoked herring roe. The welcome is warm and cheerful and the service is as smooth as a silky bearnaise sauce. Lovely rear patio for alfresco dining in fine weather.17.7km
- Au Cœur d'Artichaut This contemporary restaurant, run by an enthusiastic young couple from the village, is depicted by dishes that keep pace with current tastes, while remaining true to the ingredients and seasons. The lovely dining room is in a conservatory. Attentive service.8.9km
- TerminusBib Don't hesitate to stop at this terminus just before the French border, which is as popular with truck drivers as with families and foodies. In the distance, you can see the farm of the Verheyde family, who has turned the nearby gas station into a gourmet delicatessen. Pieter, owner and sommelier, is justly proud of his impressive wine cellar, the fruit of his expertise and passion.

- Côté Jardin At Château de Beaulieu's contemporary brasserie, chef Christophe Dufossé devises cuisine that embraces both the traditional and the modern. It is a superb setting in which to enjoy meticulously prepared high-quality dishes: poached egg, fried portobello mushrooms and a mushroom cream; mackerel from the Côte d'Opale, red cabbage and smoked bacon; walnut tart, milk chocolate cream and walnut ice cream. Barbecue on the large terrace in summer, slow-cooked dishes in winter.10.9km
- Maison Renard Chef Sébastien Renard (who appeared as a contestant on Top Chef) has taken over the sumptuous premises of his mentor, the great chef Marc Meurin. This red-brick mansion is truly magnificent, and its bar and elegant glass roof lend it undeniable flair. The young chef, who hails from the region, shows his firm commitment to local produce by showcasing local ingredients and championing their suppliers. He serves up a carte blanche-style set menu that leaves no doubt as to his technical expertise: squid tagliatelle with apple, celery and ginger; monkfish tail with a medley of white asparagus and h12.9km
