La Bastide 48 - Lille

Located near the Best Western Why hotel, this is a very lovely, modern, spacious restaurant with a good bar and kitchen staff. No reservation was needed for lunch on Saturday and we were offered a choice of tables. The waiter spoke fluent English and French. The only thing lacking was better heat in the rooms as it was cold and we kept our coats for half the meal. Foie Gras was a generous slab with yellow fat atop, served with toast points and a few greens. The Magret was a large, meaty portion cooked rare and very tender. The zucchini gratin next to it was tasteless and mushy but the potato side dish was nice. The waterzoi, a regional dish, was the highlight for me but the broth was too thin and the three giant prawn that topped it had a distinctly fishy smell that preceded the dish to the table. The fish and carrots in the dish were good despite the prawns. Café gourmand was a delightful tasting of several creamy desserts and the Pommes Feuillete was beautifully plated and delicious. Not an inexpensive lunch but well worth it and certainly the best meal we had during our stay in town. Certainly worth a repeat visit when possible.

The only thing missing was a better heat in the rooms because it was cold and we kept our coats for half the meal. the foie gras was a generous cake with yellow grease at the top, served with grilled bread tips and some green vegetables. the magret was a large, very tender, stirring, fleshy portion. the gratin of zucchini next to it was insipid and pasty but the potato accompaniment plate was pleasant. preceded the table dish. the fish and carrots in the dish were good despite the shrimp. the gourmet coffee was a delicious tasting of several creamy desserts and the poppie apples were beautifully plated and delicious. not a cheap lunch but it really is worth the blow and certainly the best meal we had during our stay in town. It certainly is worth a repeated visit when possible.

Très beau cadre moderne, un accueil parfait et surtout, un vrai délice pour les papilles.Nous avons passé un merveilleux moment dans ce restaurant.

Pour l'entrée, rien à dire, ensuite pour le plat, nous commandons le coeur de rumsteck, cuisson saignante pour ma part, les rumsteck étaient sec et dur, très déçu. Puis arrive le dessert, et bien malheureusement, plus qu'un dessert sur 4 et pas à notre goût.... Les serveurs se sont expliqués sur le fait qu'il manquait du personnel et que le cuisinier était seul..... 1ère fois que nous y allons, et pour ce que nous avons mangé l'addition reste un peu en travers. Aussi, nous étions accompagné de notre fils de 7ans, pas de menu pour les plus jeunes (attention, je ne demande pas un jambon frites ou frites nuggets), mais pour avoir déjà fréquenté plusieurs restos de ce genre, il propose une formule pour les plus petits, adaptés aux enfants. Le personnel a bien perçu le malaise, et se sont excusés plusieurs fois. Dommage....

Restaurant trés sympatique, fine cuisine (le foie gras, un délice...) petit bémol... le vin est servi au verre mais pas devant les clients... sans etre hyper connaisseur, on avait l'impression de pas avoir eu le même vin au deuxieme verre...
