“ Very attentive service and on the whole very good food, though one of our two main courses involved an undercooked (thus chewy) and rather tasteless fish, which also happened to be a cold dish - this had not been explained to us. As we do not eat sweetmeats, this was the only other option on this menu. But the rest was excellent and the head chef offered to cook something else, and offered dessert on the house (also excellent). The wine list is also great. And the menu is very good value for money. ”
“ Delicious dishes and very friendly service. Will be back again :) ”
“ Enjoyed the five-course tasting menu €63, with the wine pairing (3 glasses) and bread that kept coming. All dishes were pretty good (taste and presentation) - the sea bass (third photo/course) was definitely the standout dish. ”
“ Excellent ! We had a fantastic experience 3 years ago in this restaurant and we came again in the beautiful city of Lille, and decided to renew the experience. It was again very good with well balanced menu, good wines and great friendly service. The atmosphere in the restaurant was very nice. ”
“ The chocolate mousse is one of the best desserts I have had, the mousse was super light and the chocolate coating was thin and crispy. The clementine gel cuts through the sweetness of the mousse really well, the whole dish was very well balanced in all aspects. The starters were great, especially the pig trotters dish, with the pickled onion was refreshing. The cod was perfectly cooked and the sauce was very tasty. I'd highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Lillie! ”
“ I liked it so much here that I went twice in three days! Bistronomy dishes, I should say creations, at his best at a fair price, very good service, not too loud music, cosy atmosphere and decoration. I took the three-course menu at 39€: I had the macquerel with roquette cream and artichokes, then the duck breast with beetroot and young carrots and a reduced jus and finally, rhubarb and strawberry with sorbets and a creamy white chocolate. That dish is one one of the best desserts I've ever had. I had it again the second time I went. No need to say I'll definitely go back! UPDATE: third visit this Saturday April 26 2025. It was as perfect as last time and maybe even better! We took three courses from the "Menu Savoureux": green asparagus followed by sweetbreads with mushrooms, particularly delicious dish, and finally a desert made of Granny Smith apple, lime and caramel. The restaurant was full inside except for one table, they can only accommodate 20 people I would say though, so it's best to book in advance. I was so pleased to see that the place is still thriving and that the quality hasn't dropped a bit, on the contrary. See you again soon, hopefully! ”
“ I had a fantastic three-course meal at Club Marot and it was truly a memorable experience. Each dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor. The ambiance is chic yet comfortable, and the service was attentive without being intrusive. A great choice for anyone looking to enjoy modern French cuisine in a relaxed, upscale setting. ”
“ Le Club Marot, located in the heart of Lille, is a truly exceptional dining experience that I can't recommend highly enough. From the moment we stepped through the door, the service was impeccable. The staff were attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable, guiding us through the menu and the extensive wine list with genuine enthusiasm. Their recommendations were spot-on, and it's clear they take great pride in what they do. The restaurant's location is perfect, nestled in a charming corner of the city, creating a cozy and intimate atmosphere that's ideal for a special occasion or a relaxed evening out. The interior is elegant and tastefully decorated, striking the perfect balance between modern chic and classic French bistro. But let's talk about the food and, in particular, the wine list. It's nothing short of a masterpiece. The selection is vast and diverse, featuring an impressive array of regional and international wines to suit every palate and price point. It’s clear that a lot of thought and expertise went into curating this list, and it elevates the entire meal from great to unforgettable. While every course was a delight, the absolute highlight of the evening was the dessert. The special mention must go to the Manjari chocolate creation. It was a work of art, both visually and gastronomically. The rich, intense flavor of the Manjari chocolate was perfectly balanced, a decadent yet refined end to a magnificent meal. Le Club Marot is more than just a restaurant; it's a celebration of fine food, exquisite wine, and unparalleled service. A truly unmissable experience in Lille. ”
