Service

This was our second visit - the first time was so good we couldn&#39;t wait to go back - and it didn&#39;t disappoint. Although the menu is quite small, the standard of the food is wonderful, and beautifully presented. The staff were friendly and efficient, and the ambience improved when a large group arrived. We would recommend this restaurant very highly.

Having made a very last minute reservation for one, I arrived at the restaurant at 19:00 on Friday 28 July and was shown a table at the rear, from where you could see the chef at work.I was the first to arrive, but after some 30 minutes the restaurant, which is small and cosy, was already more than half full and when I had finished my main course, every table was taken..The food was delicious. As a starter I had  pieces of salmon fillet with spinach and spiced cream, nicely presented, and a coconut naan, both very tasty. My main was a vegetarian dish with aubergine, which, although it did not look as attractive as the starter, was also very good. It was served with basmati rice. For dessert I chose the &quot;th&eacute; gourmand&quot;, consisting of a cup of any tea from the menu, accompanied by four mini-desserts (for those who find it hard to choose).I cannot speak for any of the drinks on the menu: as it was a hot day, I ordered a large bottle of sparkling water to go with the food.I was very happy with my choice of restaurant and will certainly book a table at this place again, next time I visit Lille.One more thing: when I left, people were (still) waiting outside the restaurant to get a table. Always a good sign.

Good restaurant with friendly staff and good food at reasonable prices. Service was a little slow as staff seemed to struggle with the amount of guests, but very friendly. The food was good throughout (starter and main) and good value for money:

Everything was fine, french food good and service excellent. The environment is warm and friendly.  My advice is to go there

Five of us ate here on 14 April. Service was excellent and the food choices for all were very good . Good choice of wine at good prices. Not a large menu but great cooking and enough choices. Highly recommend it.

Excellent food and unusual tastes and combinations . Very friendly waiter. Lovely place to have a dinner. Would recommend going here for a dinner.

we ordered Welsh complet, and it was delicious. however, I was expecting a bigger portion, but it was expensive for small plate.

Claire&#39;Maris was the highlight of our recent visit to France. There was an extensive selection of vegetarian dishes to choose from. The food was really good quality, and absolutely delicious. The staff were wonderful and helpful, we had a lovely lunch.

A pork terrine and mussels cooked in maroilles cheese. A Belgian white beer to drink. One small detail: the discount applied to the main but not the starter.

The hostess was fabulous, the food delicious and the ambience wonderful. Our French is woeful but we were made to feel incredibly welcome, including our dog Bruce. The food is proper French cuisine done to a great standard. If we ever return to the region we will definitely pay Chez Fanny another visit. Merci.

Very friendly and professional service, great food, cosy place. It looks much nicer than in the pictures! I would come back.

Perfect setting, friendly servants and high quality food and drinks have made our visit memorable! We are definitely coming back here and will highly recommend to friends and family!

Excellent dinner representing the best of small French restaurants. All 3 courses most enjoyable. Recommended.

Meal was just what we were looking for. Near by the city center, old town and big Westfield mall. We had Welsh -traditional dish from Lille made with bread, melted cheddar cheese, beer and egg over the top. It was delicious. Checkout was 27&euro; for two people adding two coffees, what is great. Atmosphere and service were local and real. Maybe not the best option for an Instagram post but definitely worthy for a good hot meal in the middle of the day.

Pro:Very careful service!Great food quality, decent sizes.Loved the interior design!Con:No musicSpicy sauce very salty, couldn&#39;t have it :(Will come again 100%

Small restaurant with fair price and nice atmosphere. The food is great as well as the service. Highly recommend

A wonderful x-mas evening in tasteful surroundings. A great dinner and courteous service. Thank you, you have fully met our taste. We can recommend  the CASINO Restaurant.

A hidden gem in the city! The restaurant has a nice ambiance and the staff is experienced and welcoming. It&#39;s a perfect spot for a quiet evening out.

Surroundings in restaurant were lovely and the waiters were very attentive- we shall define come back!

The restaurant offers a delightful menu with fresh produce and generous portions at reasonable prices. A perfect spot for a special celebration!

Very nice food, very nice place with very friendly and helpful staff and service. Nice beer selection, the staff helped us also to accompany our food with beer! Great value for money with Fork.

My husband and I love coming to this restaurant. It&rsquo;s the best in Lille and one of the best in France. Everything is prepared with love including the wonderful service from the owners. We will continue to visit this restaurant and will never get tired of it. Anyone craving for a real, authentic Japanese food, please come to this restaurant. Highly, highly recommended!! ????????????

Food was very tasty and they asked about allergens. We&#39;re very helpful to offer gluten free options. Good choices on the menu. Service was a bit slow but it was a busy night. Would visit again and recommend.

I went there for lunch and order the plat du jour which was a haddock. Haven&#39;t had such fresh fish in years. Totally Michelin star standards. My friend had a chicken polenta and she was also very happy with her dish. Will go again.
