About

Friterie Mestré, located on Rue Gambetta in Lille, has become a gastronomic institution after winning the World Authentic Fries Championship in 2023. Founded by Aurèle Mestré, a former engineer turned restaurateur, this chip shop offers artisanal fries cooked in two stages - first in sunflower oil, then in beef fat - ensuring a crispy exterior and tender interior. Accompanied by homemade croquettes with varied flavors (chorizo, shrimp, duck) and original sauces, the fries attract food lovers who queue daily. The establishment embodies the Ch'ti spirit with its simplicity and authenticity, offering a culinary experience that celebrates the gastronomic traditions of Northern France.
