We had côte à l'os with 4. Was't sure if i'd go with blue or saignant but the owner said he eats it blue so hey, we have to respect that :) one the kids preferred his normal steak bien cuit, that made him a bit sad haha. we had a very good lunch here, my wife as a Picon adoreur said it was a very good maison variant, and the tap Le Fort was also to my taste. Coming from the other side of the border, prices are very reasonable here.

Awesome little restaurant, great food. Recommended by family (locals). Started with some champagne. They serve big quantities and with just a entree and main course I was too full to still grab a dessert. I'm quite a big eater, so that says something. Will most definitely go here again when we visit Bailleul
