Gault&Millau's review 2026

Always friendly, always well-balanced, this New Wave restaurant in Lille is proud to be ten years old, and its chef Steven Ramon can be proud of his achievements. Even today, this beautiful, deep room delights diners with its red-and-black décor, raw wood and comfortable armchairs. A good team, complete with coordinated outfits, including a very good young sommelier, Victor, full of enthusiasm and eager to share his discoveries. The modern-terroir dilection is evident from the first course, with octopus in wasabi sauce and maroilles cabbage, followed by eggplant miso olive, with its freshness and texture, and cucumber (pickles, tagliatelle, brunoise) with celery molds, a second interesting entry in the naturalistic summer mode, before the signature lobster pea, less striking and too sparse in shellfish despite the desire to make it a signature. We're back in the swing of things with Saint-Pierre, carrot and vanilla, fresh blackberries for acidity, before basil-marinated beef, pan-fried chanterelles, basil oil, zucchini and parmesan, two dishes that demonstrate the chef's ability to create harmony between products that aren't always easy to marry. The apricot savory dessert with granola, though a little conventional, finishes the affair well, concluded by the chocolate manjari raspberry lemon tagetes.
