My wife and I found this restaurant during a short weekend break in Lille. Our table was downstairs and in a little alcove - a lovely atmosphere. The waitress and waiter serving us were both very pleasant and helpful. We had the Pilgrim menu which gave us a choice of several starters and main courses. My starter was smoked salmon... More

Recommended by friends and reinforced by the positive reviews on TA. Must have been a bad night. Food decidedly ordinary and in truth overpriced in comparison to other restaurants we ate at. The building and its history are impressive.

Recommended by our hotel we decided to give it a try. So glad we did, the food was really good, so much so we went back for lunch on the day we went home. Give it a try you will not regret it and whilst its not cheap it is worth every euro!

Really cool restaurant, not overly priced with wonderful history concerning the knights Templar. The designers have managed to keep the old building facade intact and fitted a glass front in line with adjacent buildings thereby using the space as part of the dining area.

We had a meal at this restaurant as part of a weekend coach trip so I don’t know how much it cost bt I have assumed quite expensive. Our party was seated at the top of the floor of the restaurant up a winding stone stairway. The furnishings were light and modern. Our menu was:- Amuse Bouche – some sort... More

We were traveling Frqnce on our honeymoon and found this restaurant through Tripadvisor. Wonderful ambiance and history with food and service to match. Staff were wonderful and made for a memorable night. Tip: If you are Australian, make sure the staff know so that they don not think you are English. It makes a difference.

This restaurant is set in a wonderful ancient room ,but it also has a modern section make sure you ,ask for a seat in the older room. The food fine but the staff & clientèle are all a wee bit stuffy. most of the male clients were wearing a collar & tie(what's that all about) your supposed to be relaxing.
