Remarkable Restaurant

Editor’s Note: Benoît Bernard is returning to La Laiterie during the first half of November, while awaiting the completion of renovations to his restaurant in Gruson, which was destroyed by fire; it is hoped that it will reopen in the spring of 2027. Following Edouard Chouteau, Guillaume Thuin—known for his work at La Table des Jardins—has taken the helm. While this lovely restaurant remains a favorite among Lille residents—who know the way there by heart just after crossing the Deûle River and its canal—the menu today takes a rather conservative approach, prioritizing high-quality ingredients to maintain its three-toque rating in this beautiful setting that opens onto a lush garden: lobster salad, veal sweetbreads with gribiche sauce, sole meunière, and veal chop with potato espuma. Paired with cheeses from Philippe Olivier and the strawberry tart with lemon-basil sorbet, it’s a delightful experience without a single misstep, complemented by a wine cellar that remains well-stocked with fine wines from major regions.
