Marc Meurin is a local lad (he was born in Lens) and he loves fine produce. The two Michelin stars is always bursting with projects and ideas, and when he heard the Louvre was opening in Lens, it just seemed obvious to take the reins of the restaurant at

Really enjoyable, good value, very well prepared interesting food, with an attentive team looking after us.I am ashamed to say we were pleased when they brought us the menu in English.A really pleasant end of day, a spring evening, looking out on the trees and watching the sun set, after a rather sombre time exploring the battlefields around Arras.

An outing with friends, family or colleagues, come to the Tassili, enjoy a good couscous in a frame between East and West.

Caught this restaurant just before it closed for August. We were the only customers and were well looked after. You must have one of their couscous dishes rather than the plat du jour. wide choice and the two we had were very good indeed. Also good Moroccan wine. Final touch were excellent table mats featuring local WW1 sites. We asked for and were given two Final tough

Four of us on Friday night, looking for something good to eat having had a rather poor meal on Thursday found this place on good old Google.The car park was full, good sign, the restaurant was filling well, we tend to eat earlier than the French, so there was some atmosphere in the place. The menu was on a large A frame black board brought to each table as needed, a bit quirky but it works. The selection was good and the food was excellent, oh yes and the wine was pretty decent as well.I think all of us would be happy to go there again, even the designated driver (me) who had to forego the very good wine.

I'm tempted to rate this more highly but don't want to give other visitors unrealistic expectations. It's a "chips-with-everything" restaurant, but the cooking is sound and the chips good, and the service is friendly. There is a reasonably-priced plat du jour and a choice of other dishes. The place was full when we arrived, but the staff contrived to make room for us and looked after us well. Not a bad watering-hole if you are visiting the new Louvre, but it would be as well to get there early or reserve - other visitors have discovered it!

We had a wonderful evening meal on a really hot night. The food was great and a very reasonable price (despite the problems with our currency!) Service was OK but were serenaded by a duo playing some very nice music We also had our breakfast there but that was a big problem. I think they were trying to manage breakfast as they would an evening meal but I think there were too many chefs and not enough servers - definitely the wrong way round. Get that balance right and I am sure breakfast will be equally as good as the evening meals

This is a ch'ti themed restaurant decked out with lots of rustic knick-knacks, specialising in faluches which I understand are a local speciaility, with similarities to pizzas. Faluches aremuch more bready than pizzas and more generously decorated. The variations offered know no bounds so there is bound to be a combo to suit all tastes. Le Pain de la bouche (which I assume to be local slang) is great fun and will ensure your belly is full for the rest of the day. Definitely not for those on a diet!The place gets very busy at sunday lunch so a reservation is recommended. The small number of staff do a heroic job of keeping everyone happy. I never did work out whether their ch'ti accents were for real or for entertainment but I loved the fun, rumbustious atmosphere. Reasonable selection of beers!

Had a disappointing Moroccan meal elsewhere recently so this was a pleasant change.Lamb was very tender as was the chicken tagine.Owner a very nice chap indeed.Nice decor.One suggestion to change, would have preferred non tinned olives in the dishes.Otherwise a definite return.

Dropped in here at the recommendation of our hotel.Modern surroundings and very hospitable staff.Food was lovely and kids well catered for. Would recommend the stew or the fish. Homemade fries were fab and well polished off by the table.Good value for money also with it being very reasonable for a family of five.Why not five star....... ? More choice other than chips maybe

Stopped in Lens for a rest during a long drive and webt into this eatery. Full of fit lads watching World Cup soccer on the box and the barman was cute as hell.
