Frequently Asked Questions

Is a food tour in Lille worth it?

Absolutely! There’s no better way to experience the beautiful city of Lille and its culture than a food tour with a local guide.

What is the most famous food in Lille?

With so many tempting flavors in Lille, it can be tough to pick a favorite. Locals and visitors alike enjoy the city’s hearty specialties, including Maroilles cheese dishes, Flemish stews, and fresh seasonal produce, as well as classic French pastries and artisan breads. Lille is also known for its chocolate, waffles, and charming bakeries offering traditional northern French sweets. The city’s vibrant markets and family-run eateries make it a perfect destination to explore authentic regional cuisine.

Are tourists welcome in Lille?

Yes, absolutely. There’s an Lille tradition, the passeggiata—the gentle evening stroll to see and be seen. It’s about enjoying the city’s beauty at a relaxed pace, and it’s a feeling we believe every visitor should experience in Lille.

You’ll find the spirit of the passeggiata from locals when you connect with the city respectfully. It’s found when you support the family-run trattorias in Trastevere, help keep the ancient fountains pristine, and learn to navigate the beautiful, organised chaos of daily life. This is the authentic Lille experience.

It’s this connection we create on our Eating Europe tours. We step away from the crowds and take you to the places locals truly love, introducing you to the people behind the food and the stories that make this city one of a kind.
