About
Friterie Mestré is a Lille institution founded in 2022 by Aurèle Mestré, a former engineer turned restaurateur. Located on rue Gambetta in Wazemmes, it has become the benchmark reference by winning the world championship for authentic fries in 2023. Specializing in traditional Northern fries prepared using ancestral methods (first cooked in sunflower oil, then in beef fat), the friterie also offers homemade croquettes with varied flavors (duck, shrimp, chorizo), Maroilles sausages, and breaded chicken fillets. Everything is prepared on-site using fresh, local ingredients. The establishment embodies a return to authentic Northern flavors, away from frozen products, in a convivial and genuine atmosphere.
