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.

Where to buy? Ferme Beun, 150 chemin de Terdeghem, 59670 Sainte-Marie-Cappel

Michel Sarran signs the menu for a new immersive restaurant in La Grande Motte

"The table where it all happens". This is the slogan of Groupe Partouche's new immersive restaurant, I-Motion, which Michel Sarran will take the helm of in a few days' time. Conceived as a culinary spectacle, the venue promises an experience where gastronomy meets emotion. The Pasino La Grande Motte inaugurates its new restaurant, inspired by the world of gaming, which will open its doors on January 21, 2026. A proposal that aims to push back the boundaries of traditional dining to offer a moment out of time. A moment of sight, sound and taste I-Motion brings the experience to the table. In an intimate setting, around a table seating just 14 guests, guests experience almost two hours of immersion, at the heart of the Pasino Partouche in La Grande-Motte. Sounds, images and flavors combine to appeal to all the senses. "Each tableau is conceived as a stage where subtle effects combine to surprise and amaze," declares Groupe Partouche. Each guest takes part in this living spectacle, where the scenography sublimates taste and awakens emotion. A menu imagined by Michel Sarran Michel Sarran explores a new facet of his "emotional cuisine", in a menu conceived as a sensory narrative. "Each dish corresponds to a different mood, passing in turn through hushed, mysterious, aquatic or sparkling atmospheres", explains the group. The menu reveals itself progressively, service after service, through evocative titles such as the aperitif "Casino Lounge", the main course "Casino Sous l'Eau" or the dessert "Grande Roulette". The walls and the table itself reveal a staging designed to accompany each stage of this unique six-course menu. Light projections and sound effects punctuate the tasting experience. "This project was born of a shared desire to offer a total experience, where gastronomy is experienced as much as it is tasted. Each sequence has been designed to surprise, move and leave a lasting impression", says the chef. Single menu, €175 per person (vegetarian menu available). Food and beverage pairings extra. Reservations now open on theI-Motion website
