Perhaps it’s down to the pride the French take in their cuisine, or the poetic descriptions on the menus, but there’s something extra special about gourmet weekend breaks in France. One of our best short breaks in terms of the quality of the cuisine is Le Buffet in the small, workaday town of Isbergues. If you’re looking to mark any occasion with someone who appreciates good food and wine, this is a superb choice for wedding anniversary breaks, birthday weekends away, retirement celebrations and more.The food was out of this world – definitely the best meal I’ve ever had in northern France. And the cheese trolley…! Wedding anniversary breaks, birthday celebrations…Le Buffet is a real treat for food lovers.

The best short breaks shouldn’t involve too much travel, and this is another reason for choosing Le Buffet: it’s only 40 miles from Calais. Add to this the fact that this Michelin-acclaimed restaurant with five rooms offers excellent value for cooking of this standard and also makes an excellent base for visiting Lille – northern France’s gastronomic capital – and you can see what makes it so appealing for gourmet weekend breaks. To top it all off, you can be sure of a warm and enthusiastic welcome from your hosts – you know you are in for a treat as soon as you step through the door.
