Ginko

Restaurant★ Michelin€€€Veg338 m

Near the Grand’Place, this unobtrusive eatery with a glazed facade is the brainchild of two pals, both of whom boast virtuoso CVs: Valentina Giacobbe was born in Italy and grew up in Asia, graduated in political science before she turned to cooking, training at Gaya with Pierre Gagnaire before working at Rozo and then at SOlange; and Julien Ingaud-Jaubert, who trained as a pastry chef and who has also worked in top establishments (Pierre Gagnaire, Meurin, La Laiterie). Their trendy venue is the picture of a sleek contemporary bistro complete with a red-brick wall, a tribute to Lille. Valentina

Pureté

Restaurant★ Michelin€€€903 m

In the heart of historic Lille, Gérald Guille plies his trade in an attractive long narrow dining room with an open kitchen. "Pure" materials (earthenware, concrete, wood, leather) create a focused, tranquil atmosphere, mirroring the style of the chef, who delivers, in his own words, "creative, uninhibited food" that is rich in personality and flavour. He slaloms between invention and classicism over the course of subtly balanced tasting menus: trout, beetroot, bloody orange and sage; scallops, leeks, mimolette and limequat; fingered citron, honey and saffron…

Le Restaurant du Cerisier

Restaurant★ Michelin€€€€954 m

On the first floor of a striking, ultra-contemporary building in the heart of Lille, the painstaking work of Guillaume Barengo and his on-the-ball team can be admired in the open kitchen. The chef with a star-studded CV crafts a single set menu that shines the spotlight on cherry-picked seasonal ingredients. A few examples: red mullet, millefeuille of Jerusalem artichoke and pear, walnuts and beer; venison steak, cooked rare for maximum tenderness and aroma, flanked by lardo di Colonnata, butternut squash, quince and chestnut purées, all of which coated in a gutsy peppery sauce. Virtuoso techn

Rozó

Restaurant★★ Michelin€€€€5.0 km

Chef Diego Delbecq and his pastry chef partner Camille Pailleau have channelled all of their energy and talent into this former printing works, turning it into a loft-style restaurant, with tables set out beneath the vast glass roof and its metal beams. Lovely hardwood floors, light-coloured walls and large kitchens separated by glass panes from the elegant dining area, which has a mezzanine on which hors-d'oeuvres are served with the aperitif during the evening service. The chef cooks up creative, inspired and delicate cuisine that shows a penchant for sauces, tangy and bitter notes, condimen

Sébastopol

Restaurant€€619 m

This small eatery, just opposite the Sébastopol Theatre, is something of a landmark of Lille. The chef concocts a concise menu and a tasting menu that change regularly in line with the seasons and are strewn with personal touches. The emphasis is on generous, wholesome fare, like seared scallops from Boulogne, roast artichokes, free-range pork belly, a tangy purée of red cabbage and apple jelly. Buzzy vibe and slick yet unstarched service.

Suzanne

Restaurant€€€631 m

In his global hit, Leonard Cohen sang about Suzanne… In this eatery near the Palais des Beaux-Arts, tribute is paid to the cooking talents of a different Suzanne, the grandmother of Elisa Rodriguez, pastry chef and chef Lucas’ partner. While Lucas demonstrates a clear preference for veggies and aromatic herbs, he deftly elevates his creative bistronomic fare with tasty sauces (as did Elisa's grandmother), from pure-bred French, such as a beurre blanc, to more exotic creations, like the wasabi-laced mayonnaise that flanks greater amberjack.

Bloempot

Restaurant€€€656 m

Tucked away in a red-brick courtyard of old Lille, Bloempot proudly flies the flag of locally sourced produce. In a former carpenter’s workshop, parquet floors, glass ceilings and dried flower arrangements set the quirky scene. Chefs Florent Ladeyn and Florence Grave sign a highly distinctive culinary score focused on regional ingredients and unusual combinations: trout and grilled apricots, pollock paired with velvety courgettes and a buckwheat and sunflower ganache with malt ice cream. Big-boned, yet polished food, spot-on yet casual service and excellent value-for-pleasure at lunchtime. No

La Table - Hôtel Clarance

Restaurant€€€751 m

In the heart of historical Lille, an 18C mansion houses this elegant restaurant in its salons decked out with period wood panelling and in what was once the library. The decor sees heritage features skilfully blended with contemporary design details. In the set menus, which change with the seasons, regional and seasonal produce are given pride of place – scallops, red seabream, saddle of lamb and autumn mushrooms. Peaceful terrace for summer days.
