Rouge Barre is Steven Ramon's room on Rue de la Halle in Lille, a red and black space over two floors running creative regional cooking off a market card.
Order: Whatever the market card lists as the fish of the day.
Tip: Book ahead, because the two floors fill fast. Lunch service is easier to get into than dinner.
Solange on Rue d'Isly in Lille writes a new menu every week, seasonal French cooking crossed with Asian seasoning in a small, quietly elegant room.
Order: The weekly menu, which is rewritten every seven days.
Tip: The card changes weekly, so ask what came in rather than arriving with a dish in mind.

Club Marot on Rue de Pas in Lille is a bistronomic room run by two cousins, everything made in house including the bread, with a long regional wine list.
Order: The bread, baked in house, and whatever it arrives alongside.
Tip: The wine list has been ranked among France's hundred best by Terre de Vins, so trust the pairing suggestion.
Le Jane on Boulevard Carnot in Lille is a hotel dining room dressed as a jungle, with chef Jean Christophe Gille cooking a widely travelled seasonal card.
Order: The set lunch, the cheapest way to read this kitchen.
Tip: Fifty covers and a hotel address mean a table is easier to get here than in the small Vieux-Lille rooms. Dinner stops at 22:00.
