Crêperie Beaurepaire
One of several good crêperies in Lille, this one has the added advantage of having a pleasant courtyard, ideal in summer. Good selection of savoury and sweet galettes and crepes, and excellent Breton cider served in traditional bolée (cup).

Estaminet T Rijsel
Cosy rustic Flemish pub, which looks as if it hasn't changed in centuries. Great atmosphere, which explains why the place is always packed. Try the poulet au maroilles (roast chicken smothered in a local cheese), the house speciality. Closed Sunday.
25 rue de Gand
Tel: (03) 2015 0159.
Price: $$
La Cave aux Fioles
Romantic medieval building with a lovely décor (read bricks and beams, red upholstery and antique furniture). There is also an inner courtyard and jazz bar. The menu is strong on meat and Flemish specialities.
39 rue de Gand
Tel: (03) 2055 1843.

Price: $$$
L'Ecume des Mers
Restaurant specialising in seafood and fish. The monkfish with tarragon cream is excellent, and so is the aioli cod. Service can be a bit hit and miss. Good for business meetings, though, as there are several rooms for private dining.
10 rue de Pas
Tel: (03) 2054 9540.
