Yaya Lille - Restaurant méditerranéen par Juan Arbelaez

About

Yaya is a Mediterranean Greek restaurant founded by Colombian chef Juan Arbelaez and Franco-Greek brothers Pierre-Julien and Grégory Chantzios. Located on rue de Gand in Lille within the ramparts, the concept blends authentic Greek cuisine with an unapologetically festive atmosphere. The menu features revisited Greek specialties: mezze, keftèdes, moules à la grecque, pita carbonnade, paired with locally co-created beers. The venue comprises three interior dining rooms and a hidden terrace. Weekend evenings transform into festive celebrations with DJ sets and sirtaki dancing on tables. Sundays feature Greek brunch and drag queen bingo. A venue designed for sharing and conviviality, where gastronomy meets entertainment.
