French restaurants in Lille

  1. A

    Le Barbue d'Anvers

    This well-regarded regional restaurant occupies an 18th-century building at the end of a cobblestone courtyard, its three levels decorated with antique Dutch and Flemish furnishings. It's named after a race of Belgian chickens so naturally specialities include waterzoï de volaille (poultry and vegetables baked in a cream sauce).

  2. B

    Le Palais

    Serves solid cuisine of French and Flemish inspiration at eminently fair prices. Regional specialities include carbonnade and potjevlesch (a gelled pâté made with pork, rabbit, fowl and veal). Creatively lit with octopus-like light fixtures - but the brick walls never let you forget you're in Vieux Lille.

  3. C

    L'Envie

    You'll eat well, somewhere out near the cutting edge of French culinary inventiveness, at this informal but very cool establishment. The wine list, which features a white from Burgundy and a red from Alsace, reflects the chef's adventurous spirit.
