The story
At 22 rue des Bouchers in the heart of Vieux Lille, the team at Bloempot—led by chefs Florent Ladeyn and Florence Grave—works with a clear purpose: a cuisine deeply committed to the products of their beautiful region. The restaurant’s modern cuisine is not an abstract concept; it is dictated by the terroir and the producers who shape it.
The menu is a direct reflection of this philosophy. “Nos assiettes seront dictées par notre terroir et nos producteurs,” the team states, meaning their plates are guided by the land and its growers. Guests can choose between a total experience of the kitchen for 80€, or a weekday lunch formula (excluding public holidays) at 37€. The restaurant adapts to any dietary requirement, but only if it is specified at the time of booking in the comments section.
Bloempot’s commitment to honest, locally-driven cooking has earned it a place in the Michelin guide, where it is listed as Recommended. The atmosphere is that of a dedicated team working in concert—warm, professional, and focused on the ingredients. The space itself, located on a historic street in Lille, provides a fitting backdrop for a meal that feels both modern and anchored in its place.
