What Locals Say

AirJay From Google 5

We just had diner there and we really enjoyed it. We didn't have a reservation, but two tables were quickly put together so the four of us could sit down right away. This customer-friendly approach continued throughout the evening, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks!!!

This place is located in a pretty little square with lots of interesting architecture. They were very accommodating of my limited French. I had the Pelican Rouge beer, which was awesome! For my meal, I had Bœuf Bourguignon, which came with a side of aligot. The main dish was pretty good, but the aligot was the star of the show. I also ordered an additional side of fries, which I wasn't all that impressed by. My partner got the Monaco and the pizza, both of which were very good. I almost got the lasagna, which looked absolutely mouth watering in the pictures on the menu, but I can't personally attest to the taste. That's probably what I'll order if I ever go back. Overall, I would say the drinks are probably the strongest selection on the menu, but the food is solid as well.

The place was excellent. The food was excellent. The service was excellent. We are tourists and we found this place while walking the streets, so we decided to eat there... and we felt very welcomed. If I come back to Rouen I definitely would stop by again.

We ordered a pizza burratina and the poulet a la Normandy (chicken with creamy sauce). Pizza was delicious and highly recommended (quite big) and the chicken also very tasty. The environment is very nice and the staff very friendly and polite. The waitress who served us was a star! Always present and eager to help!! Creme brulee also recommended!.

First time here first impression OK nothing special for a Normaide centre square pub/terrace, the menu it's decent, really priced for the location where you are, for the money we payed for 2 person lunch we can grab a train and return and have a great time/brunch in district @Paris
