Maison L: the Stylish Version of Lebanon
With its beautifully curated decor, dishes presented like masterpieces, and reimagined mezzés, Maison L certainly stands out. You can find all the well-mastered classics (hummus, labneh, tabbouleh, grilled meats…) as well as twisted recipes like chicken liver with pomegranate molasses, basil hummus, or pumpkin and Swiss chard kebabs. A place as beautiful as it is delicious, a must-try with your eyes closed.

Michel: Lebanese street food with a bistro twist
At Michel, everything is homemade, local, and inspired by the flavors of the Middle East. At lunchtime, we can't resist a falafel or poultry sandwich from Licques, and in the evening we dive into a short, super creative mezze menu. A special shoutout for the veggie and gluten-free options, with a huge love for their bean croquettes with dates, spices, and green onions. Definitely one of our favorites in Lille.

Flandres Liban: the wise elder that delivers
Open since 1983, it's one of the oldest Lebanese restaurants in Lille. And it hasn’t aged a bit! People come to Flandres Liban for the classic mezzes, but especially to discover specialties like samki harra (spiced fish) or chich barak (to-die-for Lebanese ravioli). A little advice? Let the house guide you; they know what they're doing!

If you’re looking for authentic, generous cuisine full of heart, you’ve come to the right place.
