Just a plain rice pudding and raspberry on top. Pretty nice taste but if I compare it with Turkish Sütlaç this can not get near it.

When i see duck in the menu i usually give it a try to experience the taste. I told waiter i wanted the duck cooked as medium which was served in that way. At beginning it felt like a bit dry but eventually the center parts were juicy. Classic sauce was there and i liked it. It was served with mashed potatoes they were top quality. It is good to try the taste but it is not something I would order regularly.

It is my first time trying this soup. I always thought it is going to be a raw taste but it wasn’t the case. So it is not just onion inside also there are breads with young cheese in it which melted. Pretty fine taste to be honest. I couldn’t finish all but it was a nice try. Would I order it again? We will see let’s not make any promises 😂 Also bread was burnt i don’t know if that is how they cook it.

Just perfect. 7 hour slow cooked lamb shoulders. It was served hot and the taste was amazing. The sauce was a nice match. There were potatoes with cream cooked inside a bread. Owner also served fresh french baguettes with it. The vegetables was also plain and a nice match.

MEAT DISH

THE BLACK LAB· Wasquehal

There was a meat on the table and i couldn’t finish it at all. I asked my meat to be medium which was but i couldn’t chew the meat at all. After couple of tries i stopped to be honest. Too much black pepper no salt at all. Why do you even sell this?

“Le Périgourdin” Exquisite beef burger, freshly ground juicy beef, with red onion chutney, carrot cream, and goat cheese. The cheese flavor is present without overpowering the rest of the burger. Artisan white bread
