In the category of grand estates, fine dining, and excellent chefs, the Château de Beaulieu offers the best balance in the entire region. A splendid estate set in its own grounds, with an unblemished reputation dating back to the Marc Meurin era, and a chef who is widely appreciated, fully committed, and deeply rooted in his region. Delphine and Christophe Dufossé are the perfect hosts of this institution, just two minutes from Béthune, and the high proportion of local patrons—in both the fine-dining restaurant and the bistro—proves that they have been warmly embraced throughout the canton; Of course, people come from both Lille and Paris to experience this atmosphere—genuinely warm and welcoming without being overly familiar—and to savor the chef’s cuisine, which is full of refinement and generosity. The menus range from 3 to 7 courses and from 130 to 230 €. The “aristocratic farmer” theme is executed beautifully, starting with the appetizers featuring buttered radishes and pan-seared foie gras with beets and hibiscus. The meal gets off to a great start with the creamy pea soup, featuring crunchy peas and almonds, followed by the superb turbot from the Opal Coast—its flesh of unparalleled delicacy, perfectly paired with zucchini and zucchini blossoms—undoubtedly a four-toque dish. The farm-raised duck is delightful and presented in a rather creative way, with a sauce featuring herbs, Camus artichokes, and Poivrade tomatoes, along with blueberries and red currants, followed by a pleasant dessert of strawberries, tomato confit, burrata (quite subtle), creamy pistachio, and strawberry-tomato sorbet. The wine cellar is well-stocked with good intentions—comprehensive and varied, with a focus on all regions.
