Gourmet stay in Arras
Your Best Western in Pas-de-Calais gives you some suggestions of local dishes to try
The andouillette of Arras
You can't miss this gastronomic speciality, as it is the most famous!
The know-how of the north is at the service of the andouillette for the time of a recipe. According to tradition, it is cooked with calf meat (the animal's intestine).
Everyone then has their own method: water, milk, onions, salt, nutmeg... Did you really think we were going to reveal the recipe?
The P'tit Dieu
After the main course, let's move on! P'tit Dieu is a cow's cheese with a strong character.
It is a local story that gave it its name. Today, a hiking trail and a locality also bear this original name.
The Rat of Arras
Don't panic! The people of the north can have some strange culinary delights, they don't eat rats. At least, they do, but these are made of chocolate.
Their name comes from their shape and also from the history of the town. A long time ago, legend has it that no one pronounced the "s" in Arras.
The image of the rats was therefore a symbol of the walled city.
The cœurs d'Arras
This other delicacy can be made of chocolate, cheese and gingerbread biscuits.
It comes from the medieval know-how and the production of gingerbread in Arras in the 19th century. The sweet is then declined to please more followers.
And it is done, because the 3 versions sell very well!
The Mascaron
Mix architecture with delicacy and you get an excellent marzipan with an almost human shape.
Indeed, these sweets represent characters that you can admire on the town hall of Arras.
