L'Abbaye - Lille

Good was average good. Nicely located. Quick service. Welsh food not as expected , not so good. Fairly priced with no reservation necessary

Extremely rude waiter. We left before we could order. Wouldn’t turn on the heater in the terrace (where he said we had to stay because we were not ordering food , told us to go next to other people in the terrace where he had already...turned another heater on (hm, hello, Covid?! , all the while looking extremely annoyed by our presence there.

Had an evening meal here which was fine and would have got a five star review from me. The waiter was very attentive and polite. The food was lovely and the restaurant is in a good spot where you can soak up the atmosphere. We...noticed they serve breakfast so came back the next day. The breakfast menus were on the table and the waiter was taking breakfast orders. We waited a while for service but when the waiter came and we began to read out what we would like we were given an abrupt 'non '. The excuse given was that he was working on his own. I could have accepted that if some alternatives were offered (such as a coffee and a croissant). I had a suspicion it was about to go this way as my Tous Anti Covid App was not checked before taking the order as had happened without exception in every other establishment (including this one the night before).

Great place to sit outside. Close to the Christmas market and the big wheel so feels very festive. Lovely to just sit and people watch. Amazing selection of beers particularly draft Leffe. You can buy a taster of three Leffe for €8 which is a...great way to taste some excellent beers. Think it is cashless too

We had a drink, then came back for dinner. Steak, mussels & ribs...we were all thrilled with the quality & taste, not to mention the reasonable price! Just by the central square so perfect to 'people watch' & relax. Staff, especially Tomas, were brilliant with our terrible command of the French language, patient & friendly. Recommend.. 10/10
