Rascasse: the iodized spot where seafood reigns
You thought rue de Gand was all about meat? Think again! Rascasse has come to settle in and reconnect Lille with the sea, and let me tell you, it’s something special.
What's on the menu? Fresh oysters straight from Normandy, smoked fish, land-sea platters to share (or not), and even fish tartares and soups that change with the seasons. And since the founders don’t do things halfway, the cocktails here are designed to pair perfectly with the fish, even featuring recipes based on oysters (yes, you read that right).
