Edouard Chouteau's good addresses

Mathilde Bourge | 9/8/24, 9:23 AM

Edouard Chouteau, chef at La Laiterie in Lambersart in the Hauts-de-France region, gives us his five favorite places to buy beer, cheese and good bread.

Designated Grand de Demain in 2022 and Gault&Millau d'Or for the Hauts-de-France region, Edouard Chouteau is the chef at La Laiterie restaurant in Lambersart. To supply his menu, which includes a magnificent "Terre et Mer" menu as well as a range of plant-based dishes, the young chef sources his ingredients from the best local producers and artisans, from butchers to bakers to cheesemakers. Today, Edouard Chouteau unveils five addresses where you can fill up on good things in the greater Lille area and Flanders.

Alex Croquet's bread, in Lille and Wattignies

"Alex Croquet makes exceptional bread," begins Edouard Chouteau. "He has a store in Wattignies and another in Vieux-Lille, and he's a real enthusiast who loves gastronomy and his job." The chef has worked with the baker since his arrival, so much so that he's "part of the history of La Laiterie", he assures us.

Where to find him? Alex Croquet, 56 rue Faidherbe, 59139 Wattignies and 66 rue Esquermoise, 59800 Lille

Meat from Maison Evrard, Lille

"François Evrard is a super butcher who offers exceptional meat. He defends his work well, he loves beautiful products and he pays tribute to the region", admits Edouard Chouteau. The chef is particularly fond of his veal, but the butcher also offers matured beef or filet américain, a local specialty equivalent to the tartare to be found at Maison Evrard.

La Brasserie Motte-Cordonnier, Armentières

Amber, white, triple or blonde... Brasserie Motte-Cordonnier produces all kinds of beers, and has even collaborated with the chef of La Laiterie to create "La Edouard", a light amber beer with a chicory base that gives it depth. " We share the same state of mind and the desire to do things well," sums up Edouard Chouteau.

Fromagerie Philippe Olivier, in the Hauts-de-France region

Philippe Olivier's cheese dairy is now in the hands of his son, Romain, who continues the family adventure. " They make very fine, mature cheeses, very regular... They have real know-how," says Edouard Chouteau. The chef is particularly fond of Vieux Présent, a cousin of Gouda des Pays Flamands, and Saint-Philippe, which could be closer to Brillat-Savarin.

Dairy products from Ferme Beun, Sainte-Marie-Cappel

Ferme Beun is a family-run business offering a wide range of products, from vegetables and fruit to dairy products. "I especially like their crème fraîche, which is magnificent, but also their Pavé de Cassel. They also make a very nice goat's tomme", recommends the chef at La Laiterie (3 toques), who points out that the farm has its own sales outlet.

A renowned address, refined cuisine and an unexpectedly affordable menu. in Rouen, on the banks of the Seine, this emblematic restaurant has taken up the challenge of making gastronomy more affordable without sacrificing quality. For lunch and dinner, diners can enjoy a 5-toque restaurant for no more than €50, a far cry from the usual prices for this type of establishment. Prestigious cuisine at affordable prices While this offer may come as a surprise in an establishment of this level, it is part of a carefully thought-out approach. The business menu, priced at €49 and served from Wednesday to Friday at lunchtime and from Wednesday to Thursday at dinnertime, allows haute cuisine enthusiasts to enjoy a gastronomic experience at an unusual price. The menu features dishes conceived in a spirit of sharing and conviviality: snails with mushroom fricassee and parsley cream, braised veal chuck and sautéed vegetables... Dishes that evolve with the seasons and harvests. Coming soon, a salmon and haddock tartare with Thai mayonnaise and wasabi mousse will enrich the menu. A great chef behind this initiative Behind this initiative is Gilles Tournadre, Rouen's emblematic chef, at the helm of Gill restaurant since 1984. Awarded 5 toques, he sublimates his terroir with a sincere, generous and lively cuisine, tinged with influences from his many trips to Japan. His commitment earned him a place in the Gault&Millau Academy in 2024, and he was named Gault&Millau d'Or at the Gault&Millau Tour Normandie 2025. With this menu, he aims to make gastronomy more accessible, without compromising on high standards or quality. This ambition is also reflected in the Young Gourmets offer, available until March 31 and reserved for those under 35. On the menu: a cocktail, starter, fish, meat, dessert, two glasses of wine and a hot drink, all for €85. Book online or by phone at 0235711614. Where? 8-9 Quai de la Bourse, 76000 Rouen
