The best pastry shops Lille

Emblematic and refined, this exceptional pastry shop offers cakes that would make angels fall from their clouds. The Incroyable and the Merveilleux are the stars of the brand, they are copied everywhere but never equaled with their fresh meringue sprinkled with chocolate or speculoos, coated with cream or drizzled with whipped cream. To try it is to adopt it, and the crowd of customers who flock to Les Merveilleux is only the most obvious proof. A Ch'ti success story that has crossed the borders and is well worth waiting in line at the opening!

The house participated in the show " La Meilleure boulangerie de France" on M6 and was ranked among the top 10. For Patrick Doucet, bread is a passion. For more than 25 years, he has been defending the French tradition and know-how in this field. He selects his flours with the greatest care with the sole aim of offering you authentic breads. On the sweet side, the artisan-creator offers pies and cakes with original flavors. Exigence, quality and authenticity are the pillars of the philosophy of the master Doucet!

The Aziza, or the bakery temple and oriental pastries in Lille! This address is an indispensable place in the neighbourhood, which is even more crowded on the market days in Wazemmes. There are many oriental specialities, all of them equally good. It's hard to make his choice. The bags à are just delicious. The staff is adorable and does not hesitate to guide the most undecided. The prices are reasonable and it is possible to buy already formed trays if you want to make your friends or family enjoy it. 

Thanks to its wide opening times, Declercq bakery welcomes a host of customers every day. On a daily basis, you will find different kinds of fresh, crisp and fluffy bread, as well as many French pastries (try to treat them!), for example on Sundays. But beware you will need to put the price, rates are higher than the average…

Portugal invites itself to Lille! Or at least its pastéis de nata, the famous and delicious golden egg tarts, sprinkled with cinnamon or powdered sugar. A former Portuguese investment banker who trained in a pastéis de nata factory in Lisbon, Paulo arrived in Lille to follow in his footsteps, with the traditional recipe in his suitcase... Success came quickly, and his azulejo-clad stall in Vieux Lille is always busy! To take away in beautiful boxes of 2 or 6, or to enjoy on the terrace with a small bica (espresso).
