Monsieur M was the kind of café-bruncherie that Lille does best — a bright, airy room near the Grand Place where you could settle in for a proper brunch formula (23€ gets you avocado toast, eggs Benedict, or burrata-pistache, plus a fresh juice and a hot drink). Reviewers raved about the gourmand desserts and the comfortable, clean space. Note: the Lille location at 4 rue des 7 Agaches announced its permanent closure in July 2024, but the Monsieur M adventure continues in Roubaix at 24 Rue de l'Hospice, where the brunch formula lives on every Sunday.
A 23€ brunch formula with eggs Benedict, burrata-pistache, and gourmand desserts in a bright, airy room — the kind of spot that made goûter a proper ritual.
The Lille location has permanently closed — head to the Roubaix outpost at 24 Rue de l'Hospice for the same brunch formula, especially on Sundays when it's busiest.
A Brunch Favorite That's Moved to Roubaix
Monsieur M carved out a loyal following in Lille for its all-day brunch formula — 23€ buys you a choice of avocado toast, burrata-pistache, cheesy bacon, tropical, or eggs Benedict, plus a fresh juice and a hot drink. That's solid value for the quality, and reviewers consistently praised the gourmand desserts that followed. The room itself gets high marks: one Google reviewer called it "très belle salle, confortable, propre, aérée" — a beautiful, comfortable, clean, and airy space that makes you want to linger over a second coffee.
The café was also a go-to spot for goûter — the French afternoon snack ritual — with multiple TripAdvisor reviewers singling it out as "parfait pour le goûter" and "un goûter au top." Lille Addict even listed it among the best tea salons in the city, noting the quality of the pâtisseries. It's the kind of place where the desserts look almost too good to eat, but you'll eat them anyway.
The catch: the Lille location at 4 rue des 7 Agaches announced its permanent closure in July 2024. The good news is that Monsieur M lives on in Roubaix at 24 Rue de l'Hospice, where the brunch formula and the Sunday ritual continue. If you're in the Lille metropolitan area and craving a proper brunch with indulgent desserts, the Roubaix outpost is now your destination.
