HOPI

HOPI is a microbrewery, a breakfast restaurant, and an evening bar located in Lille, where beers and other fermented products are made on-site. The establishment emphasizes artisanal production, friendliness, and sharing, creating an open and lively environment. At lunch, HOPI offers a deliberately short menu that changes every Tuesday, reflecting seasonal ingredients and the chef's inspiration, with a focus on quality and a particular fondness for fried, fermented, and smoked products. In the evening, the concept shifts to a bar format with tapas prepared to order, designed to complement the extensive drink menu. The drink program includes 14 draft beers, some of which are brewed on-site, as well as bottled and canned options, wines, cocktails, and non-alcoholic choices. HOPI fosters a joyful and collaborative atmosphere, encouraging social gatherings and shared experiences. A fun detail of the place is a small ginger cat that purrs at the foot of the brewing kettles, adding charm to the space. The kitchen highlights a short seasonal lunch menu and evening tapas, with flavors centered around fried, fermented, and smoked elements closely associated with craft beer. Specialties include house-made craft beer, beer and food pairings, and a wide selection of local craft beers, making HOPI a distinctive destination in Lille.
