La Guinguette de la Marine — Restaurant in Lille

We were here 2 times in 2 different Dinning time.

The first time, we came at dinner time which was after 19:00. By then the meals options are not as variable as lunch. My boyfriend ordered the Full Welsh (Welsh Complet) - the place coming out full and cheesy, my boyfriend had a blast with it. He loved it. I had the Fried squid (Calamars Frits), I was very happy with the portion. With the same money I don't think I could get the same amount back home. The taste was fine. I wishes it could be more crunchier.

We came back again during lunch time, my boyfriend order the Pièce du boucher snackée (Steak with salad and fried it served together with pepper sauce). My boyfriend enjoyed the dish very much. However, I think this time mine was better than his. I chose the Poitrine de cochon confite (Pork belly with Japanese salad, asparagus, beets with yakitori sauce). Amazing is the understatement for this dish. I ate the whole dish with no complaints. Everything went so well and compliments each other.

The staffs here were also the highlights. We of course can not speak French and the made everything so easy and comfortable for us. We felt very welcome.

We had very nice experience here, with the price, atmosphere and portion of the food. We...

We saw this restaurant whilst walking by the canal and after reading such good reviews, we decided to eat here. We agree that the service is good, the people were very amenable, but the food was far from good. The choice was very sparse, some items only available at lunch time. Lynne had the one fish dish, the haddock rillettes were okay, the accras de morue were not so good, and the tuna tataki was grey and unappealing. I had the Welsh which was far too salty, absolutely killed the taste. We won't be back...

On voulait juste terminer l'après midi entre copains (10 personnes) après une journée au soleil. Nous sommes donc allés boire quelques bieres à la Guinguette, on a toujours aimé ce bar Et ce depuis des années. Après 3 heures, on nous signale que notre table est réservée il faut soit partir soit migrer sur une nouvelle table, on choisit la seconde option. Et la on nous a mis la pression 4 ou 5 fois avec insistance pour que l'on mange. A defaut, il faudra partir, non contents des 4h de consommation en groupe dans le bar. On trouve ça limite et nous refusons de manger, on veut juste terminer notre énième conso. Imbus de sa personne, le manager (ou patron) qui était alors a 2 doigts de se battre avec son cuisinier (même avec son équipe visiblement c'est un tyran) m'a arraché le ticket resto des mains que je tendais à sa serveuse pour payer en hurlant qu'il ne les prenait pas le soir et que sa serveuse ne pouvait pas savoir puisqu'elle ne travaillait pas ici (Ah bon et elle fait quoi la ? Du lèche vitrine ? Elle travaille au black alors ?). Ce n'est pas tant le fait qu'on nous refuse notre moyen de paiement qui nous a frustré mais le comportement minable et tout sauf engageant/amical/commerçant de ce malotru. Je pense que la Guinguette, ça s'arrête pour nous ce...
