Restaurant doesn&rsquo;t look at all like it is pictured. No ambiance at all! It&rsquo;s a typical hotel like a Novatel restaurant. Not all what you want if you travel to France to experience the culture and excellent cuisine.

Having made a very last minute reservation for one, I arrived at the restaurant at 19:00 on Friday 28 July and was shown a table at the rear, from where you could see the chef at work.I was the first to arrive, but after some 30 minutes the restaurant, which is small and cosy, was already more than half full and when I had finished my main course, every table was taken..The food was delicious. As a starter I had  pieces of salmon fillet with spinach and spiced cream, nicely presented, and a coconut naan, both very tasty. My main was a vegetarian dish with aubergine, which, although it did not look as attractive as the starter, was also very good. It was served with basmati rice. For dessert I chose the &quot;th&eacute; gourmand&quot;, consisting of a cup of any tea from the menu, accompanied by four mini-desserts (for those who find it hard to choose).I cannot speak for any of the drinks on the menu: as it was a hot day, I ordered a large bottle of sparkling water to go with the food.I was very happy with my choice of restaurant and will certainly book a table at this place again, next time I visit Lille.One more thing: when I left, people were (still) waiting outside the restaurant to get a table. Always a good sign.

Tr&egrave;s bon plats, service tr&egrave;s sympa! Attention restriction sur la carte avec la promo la fourchette

Loved this little restaurant in the heart of Lille. Warm ambience, delicious cuisine and delightful staff.

A really enjoyable meal with fantastic service. Less spicy than we&rsquo;re used to from loving the UK, but really nice.

The food was excellent. Amazing flavours with exceptional presentation. The wait staff were very attentive. I will definitely return when next in Lille. Highly recommend.

Nice restaurant in the hotel, menu dinner was nice and worth the money.  On a Saturday evening they had a person playing piano that added to the atmosphere

The food was good but served cold. The general atmosphere of the restaurant could be improved. The space is a portion of the large cloister. It is windy and cold. It is ok to eat there when staying at the hotel or maybe for very large venues (marriages etc), but I wouldn&#39;t go to the restaurant only, it doesn&#39;t feel cosy enough. The staff was friendly and professional.

The service was faultless and the restaurant is very nice, so I can&#39;t fault those in the slightest.However, I came to the restaurant to eat: Sadly, my &quot;Duo of asparagus&quot; entree promised green and white asparagus with nduja paste among other things. Instead I got a plate of limp, watery white asparagus (no green spears) and the nduja paste has been supplanted with parma ham (nice, sure - just not what I&#39;d ordered). There was also an inexplicable dollop of flavourless aerated cream on the plate which melted into the water leeching from the asparagus into an unpleasant milky mess. The whole thing was rather unappetising: essentially some limp, stringy asparagus sitting in a milky puddle with ham on the side.My Boef Tartare main was not a very much nicer experience - no raw egg yolk in the beef tartare (which I&#39;d normally expect, admittedly I&#39;m no expert), but it tasted faintly of horseradish, which I really don&#39;t think is traditional? It came with a mountain of superfluous  frites and a limp salad lightly dressed with a dull brown dressing which didn&#39;t taste of very much and just made it look like the salad hadn&#39;t been washed very well. Again, quite unappetising.I was grateful in the end that I didn&#39;t order a dessert...

Pour un petit moment en amoureux, loin de tout ..   et si proche du centre ville. La beaut&eacute; de l&#39;endroit et la qualit&eacute; de la prestation aussi bien le service que le repas. Je recommande vivement et j&#39;y reviens vite.

For a little while in love, far from everything .. and so close to the city center. The beauty of the place and the quality of the service as well as the meal. I strongly recommend and I return to it quickly.
