Estaminet Chez La Vieille - Lille (Vieux-Lille)
L'Estaminet Chez La Vieille is an emblematic restaurant in Old Lille, located on rue de Gand. Housed in an old building typical of the region, it recreates the atmosphere of traditional Flemish estaminets, with its wooden furniture, period objects hanging on the walls and red-checked tablecloths. The atmosphere is warm, popular and particularly appreciated by lovers of regional cuisine.
Cuisine and ambience
The menu features dishes from the North of France: wholemeal welsh, Flemish carbonnade, Maroilles croquettes, homemade fricandelle and tarts au gratin. The portions are generous, the fries homemade and the local beers carefully selected. The rustic, good-natured atmosphere, with efficient, smiling service, makes this a popular spot for dinners with friends or after-course meals.
Students and conviviality
Very popular with Lille students, the establishment also attracts a loyal tourist clientele. The lively atmosphere of the district, particularly in the evenings and at weekends, adds to the appeal of this address. In summer, a terrace is open when the street becomes pedestrianized, ideal for enjoying the atmosphere of Vieux-Lille.
