Troooop bon

On a goûté le kebab Vegan. C’était très agréable, légumes très bien marinés. Le cinamon roll très léger, et citronnade très goûteuse ! A refaire à ma prochaine venue à Lille.

Goede optie voor lunch

Goede plek om een prima vegan wrap te halen voor lunch. Geen opties voor binnen zitten.

Parfait pour manger sur le pouce

Si vous êtes en plein centre de Lille et que vous ne savez pas où manger, Pickles est l’endroit idéal ! Il y’a plusieurs emplacements.
La carte est très vegan friendly, salé comme sucré !
J’ai pris le burrito et il était ÉNORME, et pesait bien son poids ! C’est généreux et copieux. Pour manger sur le pouce, pour une pose dej ou pour prendre à emporter c’est parfait !
J’aurais peut-être aimé un peu plus de saveurs dans l’assaisonnement des ingrédients, mais à part ça, c’était très bon !

Pros: Beaucoup de choix, Très copieux , Vegan Friendly

Love it!

Serves vegan sandwiches, salads and desserts. The upstairs room has a nice view over the street.

Edit: This place doesn’t have inside tables anymore and sells food to take away (they have a few tables outside as well). They serve some vegan bowls, wraps and always have a few vegan cakes.

Varied items

This restaurant is also present in "Grand Scène" (food court) and offers vegetarian/vegan food. The food is great and varied: burritos, kebab, bowls, desserts and even corndogs!

Pros: Full veg

Cons: Could get other items in Grand Scene

Absolutely recommended!

Popular small place right in the city center. The menu consists of about 50% vegan items - either bowls, sandwiches, or pastries. I have eaten here twice and both times the food was amazing. I went for a combo menu both times (main dish + drink + pastry at a reduced price) and was absolutely stuffed afterwards. Most people who come here get their food to-go, however there are a couple tables outside where you can sit.
As mentioned, this place is quite popular, especially at lunchtime. So you may need to wait a couple minutes to place your order and get your food (nothing too long). The staff also is lovely and helpful!
If you stop by, I recommend the cinnamon roll (honestly one of the best vegan cinnamon roll I've ever had, and I've had many!).

Pros: Tasty food, Large & filling portions, Friendly service

Cons: Not a lot of space to sit, Can get quite busy at lunchtime

from "pause" to "pickles" but still a great place !

"Pickles" has replaced "Pause". Well, the name changed but not the recipes, nor the staff.
It's a very good place to get a sandwich or a bowl, either vegetarian ou vegan.
I eat there quite frequently, because i don't have to think a lot about what i can or can't eat... and also because most of the recipes are really good. Beware : your belly will get filled with a sandwich.

There are some "experiments" too (vebab, whick is kebab filled with mushrooms, not my favorite but ok).
You can also get some vegan cakes that are to die for.
The staff is super friendly.

Pause est devenu "Pickles" trés récemment. Le nom a changé mais les recettes non, et elles sont délicieuses ! on peut commander un sandwich, ou sa version "bowl". les repas sont plutôt copieux, même pour moi qui aie un bon appétit. J'y mange quasiment toutes les semaines, car je n'ai pas besoin de réfléchir cent ans à ce que je peux ou ne peux pas manger. Il y a parfois des nouvelles tentatives, comme le "vebab" (un kebab aux champignons, pas mon favori, mais à tester).
Je conseille les patisseries qui sont vraiment bonnes et originales.
et enfin, ce qui n'enlève rien : le personnel est vraiment sympathique.

Pros: multiple options for vegan and vegetarians, original recipes, great cakes, friendly staff

Cons: mostly "to go" food (few sits, front terrace only)

Une première et vraiment pas déçu !!!!

Franchement pour une première chez Pause. Vraiment agréablement surpris tout était super bon pour avoir à peu près goûter tout ce qu'il y avait mis à part les bowl et les falafels mais en tout cas la soupe super bonne, le Kebab (wrap) aux pleurotes vraiment à tomber, le Burrito vraiment copieux et oui un kebab un Burrito 😅 et même le Roll salé aux épinards vraiment très bon surtout un peu chaud 😜 et les desserts également le Cinnamon chaud également une frappe tellement moelleux 😋 et le crumble Pistache prune super bon et copieux à la fois 😊 un Grand Merci en tout cas je reviendrai et je recommande évidemment à toute personne Vegan ou Végé ou ni l'un ni l'autre d'ailleurs vraiment une belle expérience 🙂 Au plaisir et une Bonne journée à Vous

Updated from previous review on 2022-03-04

Pros: Accueil très chaleureux, Super bon/Option Vegan et VG et GF (Gluten Free), Très rapide malgré le monde qui pouvait y avoir 😊

Cons: Peu de place sur place , Après cela reste de la street food, Sinon pas d'autres point négatif à relevé 🙂

really good brookie and lunch options

i only stayed in lille for a few months and every week i would grab coffee and a brookie with a friend there. it had become our ritual. i swear they put addictive stuff in their vegan pastries. they’re just so good! i also had wraps and other lunch options from there. affordable and super tasty. the place is a little small so i usually sit outside, but if you need to charge your phone or be inside, the room upstairs will do just fine.

Fantastic cafe

Small place close to the train station that serves sandwiches, salads and desserts. I went there three times and the food was delicious every time. The brookie is to die for! All the vegan options are clearly marked and there are a lot of them. Don't go too late or a lot of options will be gone.

Pros: Numerous vegan options, Desserts are fantastic

Decent pastries

Small place with a very nice looking sandwiches menu.
Unfortunately I was only here for pastries, and the choice wasn't huge. I settled for the lemon basil tartelette 🍋🌿💚. It was good, not amazing. Looked not fantastic.

L'ambiance pour s'y poser manger avec des amis est aussi très agréable et lumineux.
Les sandwichs et gateaux y son tr`s bons

A vegan paradise

Had a falafel salad... was lovely, but expensive for 4 small falafel balls, tahini, hummus, with lettuce and tomato, couple of bits of aubergine. That with some juice was €10. That said, it was tasty but “starter” sized.
Would try a sandwich next time. Will go back though for cake and pastries - there were about 5 on offer, all vegan.

Pros: Lots of choice, savoury and sweet, Homemade and independent , Outdoor seating

Cons: Expensive for portion size

Will be back.

Parfait goûter

Nous avons profité d’un moment très agréable dans ce petit coffee shop cosy. Les pâtisseries sont faites maison et souvent réapprovisionnées. Mention spéciale pour la tarte citron basilic

Pros: Toutes les pâtisseries sont vegan , Option lait végétal pour boisson chaude, Service agréable

Cons: Peu de tables

good but overpriced

I came here twice a little over a year ago. Now I went back and the portions have halved but the price stayed the same. Also you have to pay extra for plant based milk. For a place that caters to vegans thats a bit sad. The service is friendly though. Although i am also not the biggest fan of nothing being served on real plates. sure the things they use are recylable but still...

Pros: tasty

Cons: overpriced

Good sandwiches and friendly staff

We went to Pause with a friend on a late Saturday afternoon and took a fresh and flavorful smoothie.
I also had two sandwiches on the TooGoodToGo app filled with veggies and a carrot dip. It was fresh and tasty and it changes from the usual hummus-filled vegan sandwich.
The staff is very friendly (and funny !) and the location is great (very close to the Grand Place and to the train stations Lille Flandres and Europe).
The restaurant is also on the TooGoodToGo app. Just before closing time, you can buy the restaurants leftovers at cheap prices.
We will definitely come back to taste the homemade cakes and the other dishes !

Pros: Fresh and tasty sandwiches , Very friendly staff , On the TooGoodToGo App
