Rouge Barre - Reservar una mesa

Rouge Barre is situated a kilometre from Lille Grand Place. It is a walk through cobbled streets. So on with your flat shoes, and off you go! This classy restaurant lies behind a banal facade. Do not be deceived! Just walk right in and be ready for an innovative gastronomic experience. There is a lunchtime set menu but the vegetarian member of our party was wonderfully catered for within the set menu price. Another member described her food intolerances which were also addressed with great understanding and skill. The chef made appropriate adjustments to the dishes on offer.What struck us was the expert and harmonious blending of flavours to produce an entirely new combination of elements resulting in innovative and vibrant original dishes using both traditional and oriental ingredients. We noticed small technical details which could be improved on.There was a wide choice of well-judged wines, many more by the glass than one might normally expect. The waiting staff were informative in explaining the dishes, attentive and appropriately friendly. The tables were filled by both visitors and local habitués. The chef patron visited the dining area towards the end of service but chose to speak only to the people whom he knew. It would have been very nice indeed if he had also acknowledged the presence of other customers, like us, who would have liked to tell him how much we appreciated his skill. But he did not give us the opportunity. So we left feeling somewhat disheartened, uplifted only by the good condition of the single toilet.

We went to this restaurant after a look through TripAdvisor reviews. First time in Lille, and we got lucky, very lucky!If you are looking for genuine French cuisine, obviously with a bias towards this geographical area, you won't be disappointed. Two "no charge" extras during the meal, everything well cooked and presented, with excellent service. Our main server was fantastic, with just the right level of familiarity.Timing was ideal, each dish explained upon serving, as a sauce or other accompaniment was delivered by additional serving staff. Nice touch.Wine list fitting with the overall standard of this fine restaurant.

Family of 5 with three young adults who can be fussy so was a bit worried about options but all really enjoyed. One doesn't like fish but they cooked her some alternatives. Told we were upstairs and thought it might lack atmosphere but it's just as nice. Difficult to describe in detail and do justice but very flavoursome and 3 course lunch at 30 euros was good value. Friendly staff happy to describe each dish. Well known chef in charge and spotted him downstairs so nice to know he had cooked for us. Happy to recommend....

We have been there to celebrate our wedding anniversary. During the booking, I mentioned about it and they made a little suprise at the end which was very kind. We have had the 6 plates menu which is a great discovery, full of flavors and very creative. We loved it. Service is very kind and there whenever you need. We highly recommend if you can afford it, even though I think the price is very adequate to the quality.
