Carbonnade Flamande
................................$At Friterie Du Pave, the menu reads like a love letter to hearty northern French comfort food, where classic regional dishes rub shoulders with beloved brasserie favourites. While their crispy Belgian‑style fries are often the star of the show, it’s the carbonnade flamande that really sticks in my mind - a rich, slow‑braised beef stew in a malty beer sauce that somehow feels both homey and indulgent, perfect alongside a generous portion of golden frites. The menu also offers a range of burgers, sandwiches and grilled meats, each served with that same crowd‑pleasing crispiness and casual charm that keeps locals coming back. What I appreciated most as a reviewer was how everything felt unfussy yet satisfying: whether you’re tucking into the hearty carbonnade, a juicy Tennessee or Américain burger, or simply savouring the fresh fries, the flavors are familiar, comforting and confidently executed. In other words, the menu at this relaxed brasserie‑style spot is a testament to straightforward, flavourful cooking - bold enough to satisfy a big appetite but laid‑back enough to enjoy after a long day exploring Sains‑du‑Nord.
