Sightseeing - Vieux-Lille & beyond
In addition to being a great activity for families, we recommend a morning stroll around the outside of the Zoo (which is inside the citadelle), where you can spot the Gibbons and Pelicans are visible from the footbridge that crosses La Deûle (the canal)

Night Out - Rue Saint André
Just up the street you’ll find everything you need for a night out: bars & restaurants for every taste and flavor
Their homemade rhum arrangé come in a variety of flavors, all of which will carry your mouth away to the Caribbean.
Our recommendation: share the assorted appetizers and then go for your preferred dish. the vegetarian plate is copious and spicy, but features many of the same ingredients as the assorted appetizers, so let them know in advance if you’re leaning towards that and they’ll replace some of the appetizers to add variety. Start with a cocktail, the night often ends with some rhum arrangé on the house as you pay your bill

Look no further than the first corner after you leave the courtyard. Proximity is no compromise here, their terrace is perfectly positioned (on a sunny day) and their interior has more tables than meets the eye, so don’t hesitate to ask for a table even if it appears full.
Our recommendation: the salmon tartare, or, during the Braderie, their seasonal Thai-style mussels.

Family-friendly and as delicious as a home made meal from your Italian in-laws, La Dinette offers a deceptively simple menu of burgers, salads, quiches and soups.
Our recommendation: Tiramisu, “The Hot” burger (vegetarian Pattie’s are delicious) & wrap—it-up with a Tiramisu.
