Lille hits the sweet jackpot (again)!
Here's some news that will delight all dessert lovers! Just a few months after opening, the young establishment NEJA, nestled in the place Louise de Bettignies, has just been awarded the ultra-prestigious ranking of La Liste. And hold on, we're not talking about a small neighborhood prize: NEJA is now up there with the most sought-after spots in the world, alongside the finest establishments in London, Lausanne, Casablanca, and Quito.
Founded by Germain Decreton, Iris Rouche, and Rayane Rebouh (who have experience at Le Pré Catelan and Le Jules Verne in Paris), this Lille patisserie takes on the challenge of offering a ultra-contemporary, precise, and generous vision of dessert. The result? An almost instant success among the region's foodies.
