Gérald Guille's Vieux-Lille restaurant offers seasonal tasting menus, with a shorter weekday lunch and longer evening formats.
Pureté is Gérald Guille's restaurant on rue de la Monnaie, near the Hospice Comtesse. The cooking follows the seasons through a sequence of dishes, making the restaurant a choice for a planned meal rather than a quick à-la-carte stop. Michelin describes a long, narrow room with an open kitchen and materials including wood, leather and concrete.
The practical distinction is between lunch and dinner. The official menu lists Instinct at €55, Pur at €80 and Brut at €100 for lunch, while dinner offers Brut at €100 and Matière at €120. Instinct is restricted to weekdays outside public holidays. Wine pairings are priced separately.
Choose the format before booking and mention allergies or dietary restrictions in advance. The restaurant also stresses that a booking is only confirmed once the Zenchef confirmation email arrives: bank validation alone is insufficient. Menu compositions change, so examples in older reviews should not be treated as promised dishes.
Highlights
- Several tasting-menu lengths
- Open kitchen described by Michelin
Good to know
- The €55 lunch is unavailable on weekends and public holidays; disclose allergies when booking.

BRA score not calculated: insufficient verified source coverage.
BRA-1.0 combines verified public ratings: Google 50%, TheFork 30%, Tripadvisor 20%. Ratings are converted to a ten-point scale and weights are renormalised over eligible sources. At least two platforms are required, each with at least 30 reviews and a combined total of 100 reviews. The result is rounded to one decimal place, with halves rounded up.
Review totals are platform counts, not necessarily unique people. Different source coverage limits comparisons between restaurants. This score does not represent a visit by our team or an award. Historical editorial ratings remain separate.
