Disappointing for the price - Edit
There was meant to be a vegan option for every course but there actually wasn't and they had to modify the dessert and pre-dessert which basically mainly meant removing things.
Read moreYou had to have a set meal of either 3 or 5 courses for dinner but starter, main, dessert wasn't an option. I ended up having a main, pre-dessert and dessert because the alternative was some sort of starter and pre-main small plate and that couldn't be made vegan.
The tandoori sweet potato curry with focaccia was tasty but the portion was small. The pre-dessert was very tart and not that nice. The dessert was nice but not that interesting. My friend also got the "vegan" dessert and pre-dessert option but his was different because the "vegan options" weren't actually vegan.
We got our main fairly quickly but then they completely forgot about us, to the point people who came half an hour after us were on their third course by the time they realised. We'd ordered drinks twice in the time so I'm not sure how we got forgotten. The waitress was very apologetic.
It was by far our most expensive meal in Lille and it wasn't worth it at all.
Pros: Slightly interesting food
Cons: Expensive, Small portions, They forgot about us so we waited a very long time

Great vegan options - Edit
Menu changes regularly but theres always a vegan starter, vegan main and vegan desert. When I visited in may the 3 were astounding with a special place in my heart for the desert ! Great to have quality and gastronomic vegan food easily! A bit pricey but definitely worth it for a special treat. They use seasonal produces and have a good drink menu as well

Underwhelming - Edit
The menu looked appealing and gastronomic but apart from the presentation I was not impressed. Plates were cold even for the hot dishes, making the mains mildly warm when served and overpriced in my opinion when the service wasn't there either.

Cons: Overpriced , Cold food

Disappointed - Edit
We tried this restaurant with vegan options for lunch. Entrée was nice but my main dish tasted literally like dirt (maybe because it was a beetroot couscous?). Not very flavorful, seasoning went missing.
Read moreMy husband got ill afterwards. He is lactose intolerant and we specifically asked for his fish to be cooked with oil and not butter, which might have gone wrong...
Pros: Vegan options
Cons: Not many flavors, Husband got ill afterwards

Very tasteful - Edit
Didn’t know what to expect to have only one option for every course, but it was truly tasteful. Apparently the menu changes every two weeks(?).
Read morePros: Tasteful, Good when you come with non-vegans
Cons: None

Amazing - Edit
Perfect small changing menu, half of which is vegan. When we visited there was watermelon gaspacho, lentil stuffed capsicum and spéculoos rice pudding. Really well balanced and flavourful dishes with uncommon combinations.

Noteworthy for vegans in Lille - Edit
The menu is small and changes weekly. Out of 2 starters, 2 mains ( 1 plat du jour) and 2 desserts, there is always a dedicated vegan option of each. Food was delicious.
Read moreService was a bit slow but we didn’t mind. We got a nice table outside, there is a good selection of wine too.
Very unusual place in Lille, definitely worth trying out!
Pros: Amazing food , Interesting menu , Always dedicated vegan starter, main and dessert
