Description

Summary: Subtle yet bold dishes.

Le Braque in Vieux-Lille offers a neo-bistro atmosphere with a dynamic, smiling service and a regional decor of brick walls. The menu features considerable effort in dishes like grilled pickles with tuna, sea spider agnolotti with tarragon chips, and a successful contrast between crunchy green beans and creamy sardines. The yellow pollock with zucchini and basil in meadowsweet juice exemplifies the restaurant's ability to elevate the cuisine without being overly showy. The dessert, a soufflé pancake with tart caramel glaze, showcases a good play on textures. The wine cellar is interesting, offering a selection of both common and rare finds. The service is well-coordinated by a fantastic team. Damien Laforce, a former sous-chef to Florent Ladeyn and a TV cooking show contestant, alongside his dog Marcel, has created a space that blends brick and light wood for a warm ambiance. The restaurant serves tasty regional dishes with bold twists and provides a concise organic wine list. Customers without a reservation can enjoy the 20 or so counter seats along the wall, ensuring a welcoming experience for all guests.
