A new food festival in Lille this autumn

A new food festival in Lille this autumn

Autumn promises to be a gourmet affair in the Lille metropolitan area.

The event will revolve around two main events. The first, the Restaurant Fortnight, will take place in partner establishments. Chefs will offer tasting menus at affordable prices, created using fresh, local, and seasonal produce. It's an invitation to discover their creativity and enjoy a culinary experience at reduced prices.

The second highlight, the Gourmet Weekend, will take place from October 23 to 25 at the Palais Rameau. For three days, chefs, producers, and food lovers will gather for meetings, tastings, and numerous activities. An opening banquet, a gourmet market, cooking workshops, a food court, culinary demonstrations, masterclasses, and a grand brunch prepared by the chefs will punctuate this event dedicated to the gastronomy of the Hauts-de-France region.
