Estaminet Le Soyeux

Estaminet Le Soyeux | Lille

Welcome to Le Soyeux, an estaminet that celebrates a unique tradition from the North of France. The “silky” is a colorful metal object, often representing people or animals, placed near the counter. Its slow 15-minute swing signaled to customers that it was time to have their last drink and leave, exclaiming "see you silky!", to avoid nightly after-hours brawls. The term "silky" is also a nickname for a pest, and it was also the affectionate nickname that the boss's grandmother gave to the latter, adding a personal and family touch to our establishment. Le Soyeux recreates the The atmosphere of the estaminets of yesteryear with its period objects, including a traditional silk. There you can enjoy regional dishes like Flemish stew, potjevleesch and Welshs. To accompany your meal, we offer a variety of carefully selected beers and wines.
