Bring your team together over a carbonade

You think you are organising a dinner. What you are really organising is the one hour of the year when the accountant talks to the developer and the new recruit dares to crack a joke. For that you need a place that looks like nothing your colleagues see during the week: wooden tables you share, old games on the tables, a beer that arrives without anyone having to wave, and a carbonade that everyone agrees on.

That is exactly what we do, every day, and have done for years. Six of our estaminets host teams of six to a hundred and twenty people, in the dining room or on private hire, in Lille, in Dunkerque and in the hills of Flanders.

The team lunch, a quarter of an hour's walk from the stations: a two- or three-course set menu, allow an hour and a half to two hours for a full menu.

The private evening: a whole estaminet for you, from the aperitif to the last coffee. You choose the menu, we take care of the rest.

The seminar: you work in the morning wherever you like, and have lunch with us, in a room of your own, before going back to work or finishing there.

The gift card: a meal in the estaminet of their choice, to thank a colleague, a client, a partner. It is sold estaminet by estaminet, which is a good excuse to discover several.

A single point of contact, who knows all eight estaminets and steers you towards the one that suits your numbers, your date and your budget.

Group set menus with a price per person announced in advance, drinks included or not, with no surprise line on the bill.

A kitchen that holds up under pressure: serving a table of a hundred hot is a trade, and it is ours.

The invoice in your company's name, or payment on the spot, as you prefer.

Our Lille estaminets are a quarter of an hour's walk from the Lille-Flandres and Lille-Europe stations, which settles the question of parking and that of latecomers. Aux Aïeux is a quarter of an hour from Dunkerque station, an hour from Lille. Hondeghem and Saint-Sylvestre-Cappel, forty minutes away, lend themselves to days out in the countryside: you arrive by coach and leave singing. Public transport goes there too, but takes its time.
