The Lille Casseroles: the retro broth where fries flow freely

Experience a fun 80s vibe with vintage decor at Les Casseroles Lilloises, where you can enjoy generous grandma-style dishes (beef bourguignon, sausage-mash, ham pasta) and especially: bottomless fries and salad. Special mention goes to the crepes!Here are Suzette flambéed right in front of you!
WHAT’S GREAT: Continuous service in the afternoon, vintage retro decor, warm atmosphere. Head over to the Sébastopol area!

Barbara: the vintage and kitsch pizzeria that's a hit

After Papa Raffaele and Papa Posto, here comes Barbara, the Italian gem located in Croix. Retro disco vibe, proudly ultra-kitsch decor, and mouthwatering Neapolitan pizzas (special mention for the “it’s spicy but it’s so good” with an extra stracciatella). A feast for the eyes and taste buds! And here’s a little secret: take a visit to the restroom... you’ll have to tell us what you think.

Grand Scène: THE Lille temple of street food

Grand Scène brings together under one roof the best of Lille's street food. Numerous restaurants (Bernie’s, Bao Haus, Canard Street…), two bars, and a well-planned cultural program. Perfect for an evening out with friends where everyone can choose what they feel like without any fuss!

Pirate vibes in this little nook! Here, you can enjoy a meal by the water in a setting that feels just like a pirate’s lair. And what’s on the menu? Delicious seafood specialties (and more), plus you just have to try their spiced rums for that extra touch of piracy! Kok Piraat is located across from Euratech', on Hegel street. 

La Luck: the coolest playful brewery around!

The most popular spot for board game enthusiasts! This establishment is a game bar/restaurant or a playful brasserie as noted on their website. Come visit La Luck (or its big sister: Big Luck) for a fun evening with friends, and let a game master guide you on board games based on your tastes or desires. "Games of reflex, balance, bluff, miming, strategy, improvisation, singing, cooperation... The possibilities of modern board games are limitless, and our game library contains over 1000 references." And what do we eat during the games? Cheesy, gooey burgers, dream poutines... Just all the tasty things! Head over to Rue Princesse.

Ultra-original and quirky address! At Britney, you step into a somewhat futuristic setting filled with colors and a super cool vibe. But the most surprising part is the menu. Here, they mainly offer mini dishes to share. Think of them as high-end tapas. The menu changes regularly, but to give you an idea, you can enjoy: parmesan tapioca croquettes, octopus pie, roasted plums, or even ham skewers with mafé sauce... In short, it’s all about ultra-original flavors served in mini portions, so you can try several things at a low price! Britney is located across from JB Lebas!

Eva: the chic and festive experience, Slavic style

Located in the former Compostelle, Eva offers a reinvented Slavic cuisine (koulibiac, caramelized blinis), cocktails inspired by powerful women, and a delightfully festive boudoir atmosphere. A glamorous, historic, and wonderfully unusual place.

Hall U Need: the indoor gaming paradise

More than just a restaurant, Hall U Need is a complex dedicated to all kinds of fun! Think of it as the Las Vegas of the North, where you can enjoy tons of games (bowling, VR, arcade games...) while taking a meal break. The restaurant, with its open kitchen, offers an experience not to be missed in this enormous indoor play area! Head over to Saint André Lez Lille!

Les Fils à Maman: specialists in nostalgic cuisine

Les Fils à Maman are the specialists in nostalgic cuisine. That means: the dishes from our childhood. The decor of the establishment takes you back in time with a bunch of symbols that remind us of our memories. Their star dish is the Father Doudou's cordon bleu with maroilles and a crazy mashed potato. We also love the truffle ham pasta and for dessert, we just have to indulge in a Kinder tiramisu or a lost brioche with Carambar ! Off to Rue de Gand !

Le NU : the chicest rooftop in Lille

Probably the most spectacular view in Lille! Le Nu has 2 amazing features: it’s a very classy rooftop that offers a crazy view of the sunset AND it serves modern bistronomic cuisine. Perfect for a delightful time! We also love its central bar right in the middle of the elevated terrace. Enjoying a glass of Champagne while lounging on the sofas before heading to the table is a must. While Lille has very few rooftops, the most unique and classy one is truly Le Nu. No need to mention that it’s the perfect place for a date!
