Contribute Feedback What NunoAC likes about Le Fossile:
Small and cozy place with great food and an excellent service. Extensive list of wines. My only negative point is regards the beer I ordered (Stella) which was flat. Overall a good place with good food and in a very central location View all feedback.
What Bill N doesn't like about Le Fossile:
Decent enough starters but their 'speciality ' steak, which we both had, was extremely disappointing. Meat very tough (and tasteless) and mine was covered by more mushrooms than I 've ever seen on a dish. Should mushrooms be the best thing on the plate? The shallots on the other steak were bitter, if not burnt. Wine overpriced got a better bottle at another restaurant at a third of the price a couple of nights later.... View all feedback.
Our table was upstairs and room was charming brick walls, cosy, although was busy and crowded. We went for recommendation of the house their steak. It came with fries, ratatoulle and salad. Meat was tender and very well marinated in herbs delicious. We had a refill of meat all included. But even so stuffed, we went for dessert. Warming Lille specialty coffee with a set of desserts is huge you may want to share as it comes as 5 little desserts.. Well recommended!
Although the menu might seem limited for some, in my opinion, offers exactly what you look for in this restaurant. Great quality meat cooked on point and a nice choice of tasty desserts. All delicious. A very professional and friendly staff will help you enjoy your stay.
We tried to get in this restaurant at opening dinner time and despite the fact that it was empty 2 tables occupied we were turned down and been told that every service took 3 hours! I know of a few Michelin stars restaurants I have been to that take a 3/4 hours service .. but no steakhouse because “they cut the meat in from of the customers” well I bet the meat is damned cold by then .. arrogant and weird behaviour from the head manager ps go to another steakhouse in town! If you want no business you should move to another industry! Went to BABE had an amazing meal and customer experience!
My wife and I went to Lille especially to have dinner at the Le Fossile. I had been to the Le Fossile in Strasbourg a few years ago and wanted the experience again.The choice of dish was easy. Onglet aux echalots. It is served with fries, ratatouille and salad. The fries were not necessary but were good. The meat was delicious. Served very rare, Cut in small bits, it is so tender you hardly need to chew,To accompany I had the house red wine - choice was Bordeaux or Bourgogne. Went for the Bordeaux. It was not bad! But I've had better.Desert was crème brulee. Next time I will have the Armagnac.Service was efficient and friendly.I’m not scoring it a full five because of the wine, which at €19.00 for 500ml of house red wine was excessive for the quality of wine.Besides this, the restaurant is highly recommended and I will definitely go back!
Went there with a small group of clients and we had a very nice time! Nice service, great planche apéritive and delicious tournedos Rossini! Price range is average
