Lille, in northern France near the border with Belgium, is a lively university city and cultural centre, where history sits comfortably alongside innovation and modernity. Voted best European city for food in 2020, it is considered a real Mecca for the culinary arts in France and, not surprisingly, the ideal venue for anyone seeking first-class culinary training. Alongside its characteristic "estaminets", the region’s typical brasseries, Lille boasts a rich variety of restaurants, where you can enjoy local specialties such as Maroilles cheese with its characteristic intense flavour, its signature fries, fine local craft beers and waffles, the iconic Flemish pastry.
