In this cozy spot, mussels take center stage! Generously served with fries that you can douse in vinegar, trust us, you'll be licking your fingers clean! Expect to spend €15 for a dish here.

Aux Moules de Lille

Still a fairly new spot at Place Rihour, here, just as the name suggests, you are in seafood heaven. In a super cool and lively setting, the menu will delight you further. Indeed, mussels are the specialty here. You can enjoy them in a variety of sauces, and that’s an understatement!traditional (cream, marinara, garlic, etc.), but also with chorizo, maroilles, gorgonzola, and even... Champagne! Yes!
