Kok Piraat – Set Sail on a Culinary Adventure Along the Deûle in Lille

Moored on Quai Hegel, in the heart of Lille’s vibrant Euratechnologies district, Kok Piraat invites you aboard a lovingly restored 1949 barge for a truly unique dining experience. Since 2016, this bistronomic gem — awarded the "Maître Restaurateur" title in 2023 — has served refined French cuisine rooted in seasonal, local ingredients.

A Seasonal and Inventive Menu

At Kok Piraat, the menu evolves with the seasons to deliver creative and mouth-watering dishes:

• Jack Daniel's and tonka bean foie gras, with red onion & raspberry chutney

• Slow-roasted suckling pig with white wine and Picon sauce, paired with fresh-cut fries

• Noilly Prat-flambéed scallops, served with violet mash and seasonal vegetables

• Forest mushroom risotto with rocket and aged Parmesan

• Pirate-style rum baba – a sweet finale with a bold twist

Sharing platters are also available — perfect for friendly get-togethers or family dinners in a relaxed atmosphere.

A Sustainable, Award-Winning Destination

In 2024, Kok Piraat proudly received the "Destination Innovante Durable" label, reflecting its strong commitment to eco-conscious dining. Expect local sourcing, organic products, and short supply chains, all in a setting that's earned the "Accueil Vélo" (bike-friendly) certification.

An Unusual Venue for Special Moments

Looking for a unique space to host your next event? Kok Piraat’s barge can be fully privatized for both personal and professional gatherings. With 60 indoor and 60 outdoor seats, it's the perfect spot to create unforgettable memories along the Deûle.
