Must order: Line-caught fish handled by the ikejime method.

Address: 45 Rue de la Monnaie, 59000 Lille
Chez Georges is a dinner-only auberge on Rue Saint-André in Lille, terracotta-toned and cooking northern terroir with tight technique and maceration wines.
Order: The tasting menu, which is where this kitchen argues its case.
Tip: Dinner only, six nights a week. Glasses start around 8 euros and lean heavily on macerated whites.
Le Lion Bossu occupies a 1681 brick house off Place du Lion d'Or in Lille, where Laurence Coué cooks classical French menus under exposed beams.
Order: The Grand Gousier menu, the 70 euro long form of the kitchen.
Tip: The 50 euro menu is the sensible order. The Grand Gousier at 70 euros is the longer version of the same classical kitchen.
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.

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.
