Maison Miettes on Rue Lepelletier in Lille is a small pastry counter in the middle of Vieux-Lille, open six days a week from mid-morning to early evening.
Tip: It opens at 10:30, later than the bread bakeries, so it is an afternoon stop rather than a breakfast one.
Worth the queue: Seasonal tartelettes

Maison Scarlett on Place des Patiniers in Lille runs a pastry counter of tartelettes, pavlova, madeleines and cannelés, with savoury plates at lunch.

Méert has traded on Rue Esquermoise in Lille since 1761, and its flat waffle filled with Madagascar vanilla sugar is still the counter's signature.

Aux Merveilleux de Fred started on Rue de la Monnaie in Lille, and this counter still sells the meringue and cream pastry that gave the brand its name.
