About

Michel is a Levantine-inspired restaurant located on rue Pierre Mauroy in Lille, opened in June 2019. Founded by Marie, Paul-Émile, and François, it honors the culinary heritage of their Lebanese grandfather, a farmer. The concept revisits Levantine specialties (Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Turkey, Israel) using predominantly local and organic products. At lunch, Michel offers street-food with sandwiches, mezze, and snacks. In the evening, a unique shared mezze menu changes monthly based on seasonal ingredients and the chef's inspiration. All dishes are adaptable as vegan, vegetarian, or gluten-free. The establishment stands out for its bright setting with 17th-century arcades, charming terraces, and commitment to quality eating and waste reduction.
