The story
Since 1930, La Baratte has been a fixture on rue du Clinquet in Tourcoing, now welcoming its fourth generation of the Bajeux family. Chef Benjamin Bajeux has taken the reins from his parents, bringing a modern sensibility to the kitchen while preserving the warm, convivial atmosphere that has defined the house for nearly a century. The transition has been a gentle one, with the entire team remaining in place.
The cuisine is driven by the market. Benjamin Bajeux crafts a menu that balances tradition with fresh ideas, sourcing fish directly from the auction and vegetables at their seasonal peak. This is gastronomic cooking that feels unpretentious and grounded. The restaurant is recognized by the Michelin guide, a testament to its consistent quality and the chef's refined technique.
The dining room strikes a harmony between simplicity and elegance, and when the weather allows, the flowered terrace offers a relaxed setting for a meal in the sun. For a quicker lunch, the weekday Menu Express provides a market-driven formula—a starter, main, and dessert—designed for a professional pause or a casual midday gathering. A private salon is also available for groups of six to eighteen.
La Baratte is a place where family history and contemporary gastronomy meet, offering a distinctly personal dining experience in the heart of Tourcoing.
