Le Carré Gourmand

Lille, Flanders & the Somme


Each day offers a different three-course blackboard menu at this intimate restaurant with exposed bricks, crisp tablecloths and a shady street-side terrace. Artistically presented dishes incorporate ingredients from the area such as agneau de pré-salé (salt marsh lamb), Le Crotoy duck, and Baie de Somme kelp and samphire. The small, local wine list comprises just four whites and four reds.

A two-course menu for children costs €9.
