Definitely will come again !"

"I tried the Dirty BBQ Burger and it was absolutely delicious! The bun was soft and perfectly toasted, the meat juicy and full of flavor, and the BBQ sauce brought everything together beautifully. The fries on the side were crispy and well-seasoned — the perfect match for the burger.
The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, and the service was quick and friendly. You can tell they put real passion into their food. Definitely one of the best burgers I’ve had in a long time — I’ll be coming back for sure!"

The Complete Guide to Lille, France [30+ Recommendations
Le Comptoir Volant used to be run by a French friend of ours, so we just had to pay them a visit when we were in town. Translating to “the flying counter”, the burger place started as a food truck in 2013 before moving into a permanent location in the centre of Lille. They’ve since expanded to a stall in Grand Scène, the downtown food hall, and other locations on the outskirts of the city centre while still maintaining a food truck always on the prowl.
Ça va déguster ! – Grand Scène | Street-food, bar, coffee shop
Le célèbre food truck lillois fondé en 2013 par César et Grégoire, deux amis d’enfance, et qui s’est depuis sédentarisé dans le Vieux-Lille, distille désormais ses burgers d’amour depuis Grand Scène. On retrouve ce qui a fait le succès de l’enseigne : des buns de boulanger confectionnés sur mesure, une viande locale top-qualité, des fromages bien sourcés et des recettes originales (à la raclette ou au maroilles !).
