About
Georges V, nicknamed "the temple of Welsh" in Lille, is an unmissable institution for tasting one of the finest interpretations of this emblematic northern French dish. Located on Boulevard de la Liberté in a charming former bar-tabac, this establishment serves Welsh prepared with a signature blend of three cheddars including a smoked variety, combined with beer, ham, and toasted bread. Beyond the Welsh—which accounts for 80% of orders—the menu features other regional specialties: potjevleesch (Grand Prix for Flemish Gastronomic Excellence 2025), chicken with Maroilles cheese, and Flemish beef stew. The convivial, unpretentious atmosphere, generous portions, and excellent value for money make it a neighborhood institution where locals and tourists seeking authenticity gather.

“Les amateurs de welsh connaissent forcément l’adresse : le Georges V, ancien bar-tabac reconverti en restaurant boulevard de la Liberté à Lille. Cet établissement ne paie pas de mine de l’extérieur et pourtant c’est ici que l’on déguste l’un des meilleurs welshs du territoire.”
terres-et-territoires.com “Suite au vif succès de la première édition en 2023, le concours international du welsh revient au restaurant le Georges V, boulevard de la Liberté à Lille, dans un format beaucoup plus ambitieux.”
lobservateur.fr “Le lundi 20 novembre, ces experts du welsh seront au Georges V pour élire la meilleure recette parmi les 25 préparées sur place. « On va installer une tonnelle à l’extérieur sous laquelle les participants pourront cuisiner.”
