Gault&Millau's review 2026

An attractive revival in this changing district of Lille, and a location well known to the locals. As if on cue from Delpech, Laurette has all the hallmarks of the neighborhood bistro, with its friendly atmosphere, where people talk loudly and the hum of the coffee machine and the sounds of the kitchen are overlaid with the music of a Parisian "titi". After a career as a private chef, chef Raynald Boucaut has now embarked on a new adventure, offering bistro-style cuisine in a warm, modern setting where local workers and residents have already found their feet. A blackboard that moves from table to table as a menu, a team of waiters who try not to forget anything, the comings and goings of customers who quickly fill the room and the floor, a frenzy that's quite pleasant to see. The menu consists of a €29 set menu or a choice of dishes from the slate, including classic pâté croute richelieu, creamy burrata with red kiwi, and racy meats such as Angus chuck confit or a fine filet of sea bream. The chef's inspirations, or rather his memories of grandpa's house, such as this stuffed cabbage and its purée in a full-bodied jus, complete the menu and bring in new dishes according to the arrival of seasonal vegetables. The Corsican clementine tartlet of the moment or the homemade tiramisu round off this delightful experience.
