The best philosophy and literature cafés Lille

At the crossing of Jeanne-d'Arc Street and rue Jean-Bart is the Café L'Gap. Café-theatre or coffee-philosophy, no matter what, this coffee is left away and it is good to stop there for a drink.

In the heart of the ancient Latin quarter, this coffee has a decoration that attracts the curious with its retro atmosphere. Inside, there is a library composed of works of sociology, literature and even philosophy. Clients are usually students or people who come to read their newspapers and enjoy harmless conversations or more serious conversations. The coffee also makes lunch the midday with a dish of the day at an attractive price. In the evening, the place changes a little atmosphere and beer invites on the tables. In spite of everything, the Gap is a cultural café where conferences, theatre performances, exhibitions, openings… A place to discover absolutely!

At the Café Citoyen, we only drink and eat organic food! It's THE place to be for good friends with a sense of solidarity and responsibility. Committed and alternative, this café is taken by storm by members of groups and associations who like to meet and debate. On the terrace or in the rooms, on the ground floor in front of the bar or upstairs among the books, customers can attend new events: concerts, exhibitions, comic book nights, etc. As for the food: you can have a local snack of course! It's a bit like being at home!

More than just a bar, Les Sarrazins is a collective adventure based on sharing and solidarity, which animates the heart of Wazemmes with its cultural program (conferences, shows, workshops, exhibitions...) and the hosting of various associative meetings. The bar is a warm meeting place, where you can enjoy organic, local and affordable products. During the day, the calm of this spot makes it an ideal place to relax and/or work. In the evening, its lively atmosphere and activities may just make it your favorite address..
