De Rode Koe — Restaurant in Lille

Locally sourced, home-cooked style food. A variety of vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. Over-priced for what it is and service is sub-par. I went here on my birthday and voiced issue after receiving old bread and a dish that was different from the description on the menu.
