Disappointed

Kitchen was closed and knowledge of what vegan is, very limited. I am vegan by choice, if you have allergies I would not recommend this location. My friend and I ended up with 3 cookies and a drink. Table was set opposite of each other whilst we sat next to each other (??)
No English spoken. Only French.

Great work lunch

We visited Hopen Source with a workgroup and had a fantastic time.

Atmosphere
We were lucky enough to have the place almost entirely to ourselves at 11 a.m., which gave us a relaxed start. By noon the restaurant filled up, creating a lively buzz that added to the experience without feeling cramped.

Service
The staff were exceptionally friendly and accommodating, speaking fluent English and going the extra mile to discuss vegan options and suggest ways to “veganise” dishes that weren’t already plant‑based.

Food
I ordered the Buddha Bowl, which was a true highlight. It burst with fresh, colorful ingredients. The portions were generous, delivering great value for the price.

Bottom line
Hopen Source offers a warm environment, and generous portions—all perfect for a work outing or casual lunch. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a tasty, value‑packed vegan experience in Lille!

Pros: Has a deli section for to go options

Cons: Could have more vegan options

Prima en verrassend

Jammer dat je alleen met de lunch kunt lunchen. Na lunchtijd geen alcohol ivm de vergunning. Koffie kan een half uur voor sluiting niet meer. De vegan koeken die ze hadden waren kei lekker. Kom morgen terug voor lunch . De vegan lunchgerechten zijn beperkt maar van hoge kwaliteit.

Super tasty dishes, few vegan choices

Unfortunately no vegan main on the daily menu when we visited but there were multiple choices of starters and those could be made larger to form a main. Great, tasty food and very kind and helpful service! Would recommend especially for a small meal.
Restaurant with nice atmosphere, outside space available.

Pros: Tasty food, Great service, Fair prices

Cons: No vegan main course

Options vegans systématiques

Le menu propose des choix vegans et les autres plats peuvent être adaptés pour être complètement végétalisés. Personnel sympathique.

Not too many options, cute interior and lots of seating area

The inside was very cute with some armchairs and couches, we went for a late lunch snack so they only had the food that was displayed, which for a vegan option only included cold veggies, falafel and cookies. I was dissapointed that they didn't have a vegan quiche, because I saw some pictures here, but it's nice that they had anything vegan.

Balance conscious eating with a welcoming, inclusive vibe.

This restaurant is a perfect example of how healthy, conscious dining can support a gradual transition to more sustainable eating without alienating those who aren’t fully ready to go vegan. Instead of offering strictly vegan options, the menu caters to a variety of preferences, including meat and fish, making it a great choice for those who still enjoy these foods but want to dine alongside their meatless friends.

The restaurant itself can be a bit tricky to spot, especially at night. We nearly missed it during the Lille Festival weekend. However, once inside, you're welcomed into a true oasis. The interior is thoughtfully designed, with high-quality furnishings, light colors, and an open, airy layout that creates a calming atmosphere.

What truly stands out, though, is the exceptional staff. It's rare to come across a team as friendly, attentive, and professional as this one. Service is swift and seamless, allowing you to fully enjoy the dining experience. And the food? Absolutely delicious, with each dish carefully prepared to offer the best in taste and presentation. Overall, it was a lovely experience, perfect for anyone looking to balance conscious eating with a welcoming, inclusive vibe.

Pros: Staff, Food, Interior
