Le Mana

RestaurantBib Gourmand€€1.1 km

At the entrance to the village, this restaurant is discreetly tucked away in a 19C red-brick building. Inside, light enters through the contemporary-style veranda, capturing the elegance of a decor dominated by black details and green velvet. In the kitchen, which opens onto the dining room, chefs Valentine and Maxime – also partners outside of the restaurant – can be seen intently focused on producing their tempting dishes with perfectly judged marriages of flavours. The fillet of pollock is topped with an anchovy viennoise and accompanied by a broccoli cream and almond milk and shellfish emu

Balsamique

RestaurantBib Gourmand€€3.2 km

The chef has more than one trick up his sleeve, and his cuisine, poised between terroir-based and modern, is brimming with flavour. Examples include cappuccino of mushrooms, grilled parsnips and Wambrechies whisky caramel. Bold dishes based on quality ingredients (fish from Boulogne-sur-Mer, for example). Slick service. The peaceful little terrace is a real draw, especially on summer evenings.

Limpide

Restaurant€€€4.4 km

Previously home to Empreinte, Limpide has retained its predecessor's pared-back aesthetic. The small dining area is bathed in light thanks to large windows with antique stained glass depicting the art of brewing. At the helm, young chef Karl Widmer (who trained in the kitchens of Le Val d'Auge, Yannick Alléno and Damien Laforce) cooks up personal cuisine with principles, as evidenced by a wealth of details on the plate. But this chef also likes to keep things simple, as illustrated by his monkfish in barigoule, delicate white butter sauce and tender little pieces of artichoke heart in parsley.

La Laiterie

Restaurant€€€4.5 km

Once a dairy, this farmhouse steeped in history lies next to the Parc de la Citadelle and close to the banks of the Deûle Canal. Elegant contemporary rooms inside and a large garden with a terrace are the perfect foil for the chef's creative cuisine, which delves freely into produce from Northern France, with a fondness for surf and turf recipes.

Coup de Main

Restaurant€€€4.8 km

Victor Berthe (previously at Rozó) and Clément Delécluse (France's Young Sommelier of 2021) have set up shop in the heart of the Saint-André neighbourhood in Vieux Lille. With good humour, the two partners welcome diners to their compact little restaurant and wine shop with an open kitchen and vintage furnishings. The short menu sets the tone: starters for sharing, a choice between fish, meat and a vegetarian main, and just two desserts. For dinner, there's also a tasting menu that brilliantly combines seasonal dishes with playful and varied cuisine based on ingredients from small-scale produc
