Savour Autumn two months to savour

In Lille and across the Metropolitan Area, autumn doesn’t mean the fun is over. Quite the opposite: it whets your appetite!

Street food, seasonal cuisine, foodie discoveries, beers and iconic northern specialities… throughout October and November, one event follows another, each one a delicious reason to spend a long weekend in Lille.

Whether you’re a gourmet, love discovering new flavours or are simply curious to taste the best Lille has to offer, get your taste buds ready: this autumn, the Metropolitan Area is yours to savour.

Gourmet Weekend at Palais Rameau – Junia, Lille: Postponed

Due to demonstrations planned for this weekend, and following recommendations from the public authorities, the events scheduled for Saturday and Sunday at Palais Rameau – Junia have been postponed.

We were all looking forward to this foodie weekend, with so many chefs from across the Lille Metropolitan Area joining forces alongside Marc MEURIN, patron of this first edition. But the safety of visitors, participants and event teams must always come first.

All the event partners are now working together to find a new date, so this celebration of gastronomy can take place in the best possible conditions.

Still hungry for something special? There’s one last chance to enjoy an exceptional dining experience: a few places are still available for Friday evening’s banquet! And you can still treat yourself at the restaurants taking part in the Restaurant Fortnight until 31 October.
