An art deco setting for award-wining regional cuisine

  • Traditional menu

  • Home cooking and seasonal produce

  • Private mezzanine area and a cosy bar

  • Superb art deco architecture

Le Vieil Abreuvoir is set in a spectacular 19th-century townhouse with striking art deco architecture. But lying behind the decorative motifs and columns of this central Roubaix restaurant is genuine northern hospitality, and a staff attentive to both local customers and passing visitors who come to sample the inventive menu.

Our celebrated chef calls on a rich, regional gastronomy, using local produce to conjure up a seasonal menu that's both innovative and true to its roots. From the signature burger to regional cheeses and prawn croquettes, our homemade dishes draw on solid culinary traditions to create a delicious experience for diners. With market menus offered at lunchtime and on weekday evenings, this authentic brasserie is a sure bet for locals in search of something new.

True to its name, Le Vieil Abreuvoir offers drinks to match the high standard of its cuisine, such as wines from Madrague, an area of Côtes de Provence renowned for organic wines. Our bar-restaurant can host business lunches, family meals, romantic diners and parties for friends, choose between the main dining room, the private mezzanine or the intimate bar for the ambience that suits you best.

The story of our name

Until the 19th century, Roubaix was a small village in Lille countryside, with a water trough for horses in Rue Vieil Abreuvoir, at that time just a simple rural lane. Taking this name is our way of celebrating an era that saw the birth of our art deco bar-restaurant and laid down the roots of our constantly evolving cuisine.

    (Translated by Google) Well, we're not going to lie, it's not the most amazing meal I've had in a hotel. Behind a menu with promising titles hide some... meh dishes. The filet de mignon burger was a good idea but in the end the result was not very tasty despite the cheese in it.
    Dessert: Chocolate and hazelnut brownie was more of a very dry fondant, which must have been made 3/4 days before. Accompanied by a Grand Marnier custard in name only.
    There are days like that. Let's hope it wasn't the right one and was an occasional false note.
    Attentive service, almost too much (ok I'm nitpicking)

    Bon on va pas se mentir, c’est pas le repas le plus ouf que j’ai mangé dans un hôtel. Derrière un menu aux intitulés prometteur se cachent des plats … m’bofs. Le burger de filet de mignon était une bonne idée mais au final le rendu est assez peu goûteux malgré un fromage de caractère dedans.
    Le dessert: Brownie au chocolat et noisette était plutôt un fondant très sec, qui avait dû être fait 3/4 jours avant. Accompagné d’une crème anglaise au Grand Marnier qui n’en avait que le nom.
    Y’a des jours comme ça. Espérons que ce n’était pas le bon et que ça soit une fausse note occasionnelle .
    Service attentionné, presque trop ( ok je chippotte)

    (Translated by Google) Very good restaurant! The service is at the level of a 4 star. The server was available and smiling. We had a great evening!
    The only downside of the restaurant is the overall atmosphere which is quite gloomy.

    Très bon restaurant ! Le service est au niveau d'un 4 étoiles. Le serveur était disponible et souriant. On a passé une excellente soirée !
    Seul bémol du restaurant, l'ambiance globale qui est assez morose.

    (Translated by Google) A more than disappointing experience!
    The food was not up to par with the establishment, although the servers were very friendly.
    I do not recommend it for groups.

    Expérience plus que décevante !
    La nourriture n'était pas à la hauteur de l'établissement, bien que les serveurs soient forts sympathiques.
    Je déconseille pour les groupes.
