La Promenade: between Nice and the North, it hasn’t chosen a side
La Promenade is a bit of a bridge between chef Rémi Navello's Niçoise roots and his love for northern produce. Perfect egg, duck breast with sweet potato purée, or scallops with morille risotto—it's precise, generous, and always elegant. Bonus: the terrace and pétanque area if the sun is shining.

Repu: the neighborhood spot turned gourmet dining
At Repu, Abdelkader Belfatmi (formerly of Val d’Auge and Laiterie) focuses on honest and carefully crafted cuisine: veal sweetbreads with morels, homemade gnocchi, Artois trout… And a well-thought-out wine list to complement the dishes. It's warm, relaxed, and it's delightful to find a bistro-style restaurant in the metropolis that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

A chic restaurant without being stuffy, run by a young family team that knows what they’re doing.

Félicie: the most surprising experience in Loos
At Félicie, you come to be surprised. Menus with levels of culinary "twist," cocktails paired with dishes, radish-based desserts, in-room entertainment, smoking at the table... It’s daring, playful, and truly successful. A bistronomic gem (and a bit quirky) just a stone's throw from Lille.

Bleu Canard: market cuisine that pops
At this restaurant on Rue Pierre Mauroy, we come for the retro decor, the plates that are always surprising & delicious (special mention for the swordfish tataki) and the wine and beer selection that brings joy. It’s local, creative, and always well sourced. For fans of Japanese cuisine, a little shoutout to the neighbor of Bleu Canard and also to Aokamo, which is in a whole different genre but definitely worth the detour.
