La Table de Christophe - Valenciennes

A rare gem in 21st century France. This is a classic French restaurant with daily specials inspired by traditional French cuisine. Everything is made from scratch, in house, by the owner himself (Christophe and the service is top-notch providing everything at exactly the right time. I ordered a Kirsch Apéritif which was accompanied by a house-made chicken rillette. For my Plat Principale, I ordered the Filet of Beef with the local favorite Maroilles Sauce (made from Maroilles cheese which is the pride of the region, le Nord . The plat also came with a cozy side of puréed potatoes loaded with flavor, and to top it off, I ordered a Jenlain Ambrée (local beer as a beer seemed more suitable than wine for my regionally inspired dinner. Overall, the flavors were divine (the filet was cooked to perfection! and the ambiance is wonderfully nostalgic yet nothing feels forced or pretentious. I highly recommend La Table de Christophe. I myself will definitely return.

Awful experience despite its pricy menu. I ordered my meat as « bien cuit » but it comes very fast and more like « saignante » in a **** juice. Its side french fries also has a super strange taste. Customer service was also zero. You will perhaps receive a lower level of service if you are not a native French speaker.

Very Amazing Taste, Awesome Hospitality, Real nice French food, atmosphere is so authentic AI love this place I came here alone without knowing to speak French and i was surprised how lovely the people here, so friendly and gentle, food is awesome and the place is so originale
