In the heart of Lille's old town, GÉrald Guille plies his trade in an attractive elongated dining space with an open kitchen. Abounding with "pure" materials (earthenware, concrete, wood, leather), the decor lends the place a focused, tranquil atmosphere and reflects the style of the chef, who delivers, in his own words, "creative, uninhibited food" that is rich in personality and flavour. He veers between invention and classicism over the course of his subtly balanced tasting menus: celeriac, crab, lavender; pork, asparagus, bergamot, sea aster; turbot, morel, pea, savagnin; blue lobster, fennel, Ratte potato, saffron.
