As clueless Americans in Belgium, we weren't sure what to expect walking in. But the server was…read moreamazing, and the food was phenomenal! I got the steak with peppersauce, which was cooked perfectly, and cost 21.5 euro; my girlfriend got the salmon with veggies at a cost of 20 euro. The menu has English subscript. The food comes with a small appetizer of fish spread and olives, and the main courses come with an order of french fries. So worth the recommendation! I have a shellfish allergy, and since the country is known for its mussels I was a little nervous but they took care to tell me what was in the sauces with the dishes. As an aside, you pay at the bar. Also: tipping is not expected in Belgium. Enjoy!

We came for beers and dessert, which did not disappoint! We had the molten chocolate cake and chocolate ice cream, and both were delicious! I only wish we ate a full meal here because everything looked, and smelled amazing. The beer menu was very impressive for a small place in (what seems like) the middle of no where. They even had Westvelletren! This was the prefect rest stop for enjoying the sunshine in September! The patio is lovely and the waitress was welcoming!

When the meal arrived we had a rack of pork ribs as long as your fore arm cut into 3 pieces, a small dish of salad & fries. It was the specialty & was absolutely delicious. The beer was from the tap and was equally as nice. Overall a well deserved 5 stars for not only the food but service & ambiance.

Hidden in a back alleyway, Les Compagnons de la Grappe is the place to come to try out Northern…read moreFrench dishes in a gorgeous garden or dining room setting. The service here was extremely friendly and attentive, offering us careful explanations of all their best dishes and accommodating all of our requests! The item to order if you don't know what to choose is the L'Assiette du Nord, a sampler plate which came with small square bowls of four of the Northern French specialties on the menu. The carbonnade was a sweet and savory stew made with tender chunks of beef and onions; the Welsh des Compagnons was a decadent dish of beer boiled with cheese, served over a slice of ham and a slice of bread (pain d'epices); the Pot'jevleesch was a cold terrine made with chunks of pork, chicken, and rabbit in a savory jelly; and the croquette de crevettes was a fritter made with a creamy batter mixed with little shrimps and served with a thick, creamy dip with herbs (almost like tzatziki). Every item on this plate was absolutely delicious, but I was a particular fan of the Welsh (great for spreading on more bread), the Pot'jevleesch (surprisingly flavorful yet refreshing), and the croquettes (the crispy exterior, the creamy, umami interior, and the cooling cream sauce went perfectly together). In addition to the sampler plate, I also ordered the Filet de Bar, or sea bass in a crispy parmesan crust, served over a tomato-onion compote in an iron plate. On the side also came a "bouillabaisse" in a tiny metal pot--this was a boiled soup made with seasonal summer vegetables including eggplant, zucchini, red onions, and tomatoes. This was a light and delicious seasonal dish, and the presentation and flavors of all the food here were extremely on point!

This was my favorite restaurant while visiting Lille…read more This cozy restaurant is set like family style... it has that warmth and shabby chick that you get as you walk into someone's dinning room. Very unpretentious and nice inside... outdoor you will find an open terrace with warm lighting and heaters for those winter days. It is a beautiful place. Having said that, the best part of this restaurant is the food... heart warming dishes, incredibly tasty bread, awesome wines and service couldn't get any better. Service here was friendly and very attentive. I usually heard of people in France being rude... but I could not disagree more. All of the people in this place were friendly... even other people at the restaurant with whom we talked for a bit and got a few recommendations as they are regulars here. We had a salmon tartare, raw tuna steak (very good), steak and fries and a lamb stew that was delicious all followed by a dessert that had a lot of things... I forgot the name but it was huge. Everything here was delicious. Prices are "very" reasonable. This place is a most visit when coming to Lille. Thumbs up.
