Compte Insta - Brasserie Dufour

Are you looking for a place to rediscover the classics of French gastronomy, feeling at home, but with a touch of elegance and generosity? This new spot in the heart of Vieux-Lille welcomes you with open arms for a no-fuss lunch, bursting with flavors.

An authentic atmosphere blending old-world charm and modernity

As soon as you step through the door, you dive into a warm and welcoming environment, where every detail matters. The decor is a delightful mix of cozy wood, leather armchairs, beveled mirrors, and vintage lighting. The copper Molteni stove, the centerpiece of the open kitchen, performs brilliantly: it warms up the room just as it elevates the dishes.

Claire & Thibault Dufour: a duo with deep roots

Trained in Michelin-starred restaurants, Claire and Thibault have chosen to get back to the essentials: traditional French cuisine that warms the heart. Claire takes care of the service with attention to detail and personal touches, while Thibault puts a fresh spin on Escoffier's classics with accuracy and generosity. Together, they embody a French way of life with a subtle modern twist.

A French-style service that starts with butter-salted radishes

No fuss here to welcome you: a plate of fresh radishes, salted butter, and smoked salt arrives even before the menu. This simple little ritual sets the tone of the place: a true return to the basics that makes all the difference and excites the taste buds.

Classic, flavorful, and customizable dishes

The menu is a tribute to the great French classics: braised oxtail, mustard veal kidneys, beef cheek, skate wings, roasted veal chop... Each dish comes with a choice of simple yet impeccable side dishes. The minted peas, tender and fragrant, won us over. Here, you’re free to compose your lunch just the way you like it, like you would at home, but even better.

The little touch that makes all the difference

We absolutely love the blend of generous cuisine and a cozy, almost family-like atmosphere. The service is both attentive and relaxed, adjusting to your vibe of the moment. The wine list is thoughtfully crafted, featuring regional selections that perfectly complement the flavors. This is a spot to treasure for a lunch that warms the heart and the stomach.
