At 22 place Louise-de-Bettignies, behind the elegant facade of a private mansion from the 17ᵉ century, there’s a hidden gem that not many locals knew about. The We Are Club restaurant is now open to the public on Friday evenings and Saturday for lunch and dinner, after the success of its "Open House" dinners.

A Table That Was Long A Secret
Originally, the gastronomic table of the We Are club was reserved for business club members. But thanks to the success of the "Open House" dinners on Fridays, the venue decided to open its doors wider. Lille residents can now reserve a lunch or dinner on Saturdays and discover this confidential spot nestled right in the heart of Old Lille. It's a new option for those who enjoy discreet restaurants and bold female chefs' cuisine.
