La Consigne - Reserva de mesa

My wife and I eat out 100 plus times a year. It takes a special restaurant to excite either one of us. We are usually very critical and are reluctant to highly score most establishments. This is a very unpretentious place with a zero ambiance factor. The cuisine is very good and the service as well. My wife had the cold tomato soup ( gazpacho ) which was creamier than the US version. It also included ricotta ravioli. My starter was veal carpaccio with a zucchini tartar. Delicious! For a main course my wife chose a "cote de couchon" which we soon found out was a pork chop. This was a 10 ounce chop served with a red cabbage chutney drizzled over the top. The side for this dish was a seasoned c...

This bistro has one great advantage over other restaurants in Lille in that it is open on a Monday evening when so few others are. It is small and unpretentious and although it has a limited menu the items on it were varied and all looked attractive and the ones we chose were all tasty and well cooked. We arrived ludicrously early for our booking and we were told that although food was not yet available we were welcome to have a drink at the bar or at our table which allowed us to relax after a busy day in Lille. Although the blackboard menu was in French (naturally!) the waitress had a handwritten English translation, always useful for some of the more obscure culinary terms.The service was...

Monday evening in Lille when most restaurants are closed--La Consigne is open--unpretentious with basic decor--but terrific food at very modest prices-- my duck was outstanding and the poached cherries just gave it that extra lift. My wife had the seared tuna which was cooked rare as good tuna should be--this is great cooking keeping it simple--no Michelin inspectors would bother to visit--but we have dined at 2 and 3 star Michelin restaurants that were long on prevention but short on substance. If you are in Lille, give La Consigne a try--you will not be disappointed!!!

Did a little research on Tripadvisor before travelling to Lille and liked the reviews of La Consigne, so booked a table for last Saturday evening. Attractively decorated and furnished, the service was very good, friendly, attentive and helpful in translating the menu for us.The food was beautifully prepared abnd presented, we both had 3 courses and a fine bottle of wine which came in at 94 euros, and I considered this to be good value.I would recommend this restaurant and would suggest booking in advance at weekend as it was busy on the Saturday.

A lovely restaurant away from the city centre. The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere in the restaurant is convivial. I would have rated the food excellent but unfortunately the dish of scallops and black pudding was lukewarm. Also my spaghetti alle vongole could have been served with less celery, more shells removed from the plate and a hint of chilli would have given the dish a bit more oomph! However it was still good and the cafe gourmand was excellent.

This brassiere is located out of the town centre but only a 10 minute walk from the Porte de Paris. We dined there on Sunday evening when a lot of the restaurants were closed. It was easy to book online.We both had a fish dish which we enjoyed.The decoration is not elaborate but it has a pleasant atmosphere. We appeared to be the only tourists in there.The service was pleasant and efficient.

I stayed here with some French colleagues and I would like to say thank you for choosing this place! Really a nice stay, a rich menu that the owner perfectly explained in English and the well cooked dishes.
