Les Toquées, Restaurant and building near Deûle River in Lille, France.
Les Toquées is a restaurant and guesthouse situated along the Deûle River in Lille, bringing together multiple services in one location. The renovated building houses the dining room, a fine food shop, and six guest rooms upstairs for visitors who wish to stay overnight.
Chef Benoît Bernard founded this restaurant after spending six years living and working abroad, including a period in Madagascar. Those international experiences shaped the cooking style and flavors that define the place today.
The kitchen draws on northern French cooking traditions, working with ingredients sourced from nearby producers to create meals that taste of the region. The menu shifts with the seasons, celebrating what local farmers and suppliers bring in at each time of year.
The dining room opens for lunch on weekdays and dinner service runs from Tuesday through Saturday evenings. Sunday brunch is available throughout the day, so planning your visit around these times helps you get the experience you want.
Guests can pick products directly from the shop downstairs and ask the kitchen to prepare them however they like. This arrangement lets diners become part of the cooking process rather than simply ordering from a fixed menu.
