A must go in Lille's suburb. I quite take a welsh there…read morebecause it's the best I've ever tasted around here. The welsh is a northern French speciality made with a slice of bread soaked into beer with ham on it, all covered with melted cheddar and an egg on it. This comes with salad and French fries. They propose one different meal every day and the menu is full of northern French specialities that are all temptations! Staff is very friendly and always have a word for the customers. The atmosphere is very great and makes your feel as a family. There's also a lot of humor everywhere (tables, toilets, decorations) that just finishes the job perfectly :-) I would more than warmly recommend this place.

It's very good for a group of people. The service is great and discrete and they serve nice food with generous portions. I'd highly recommend the carbonnade which is delicious. I didn't really like the chtiramisu, too foamy for me. The café très très gourmand is very very gourmet! You have a parking lot on the left side of the restaurant.
