Favorite spots for Breakfast and Lunch in Rouen

We will be in Rouen on a Sunday in June, staying near the Cathedral. Favorite spots for breakfast and lunch?
Thank you!

Proper breakfast, like we have in the US, is not really a thing in Europe and, unless you're staying in a hotel, it's not common to find a restaurant that serves it. Recently, more places have been catering to tourists by serving breakfast but I have found them to be few and far between. The closest thing you'll find to breakfast "out" in France is a good boulangerie serving bread (croissant and the like) and coffee.

Yes, Anita, I have been to France before. I am asking if there are any favorite places you and others would recommend. Thank you.

The Hotel Bonaparte offered a huge breakfast buffet that looked quite inviting. I do nothing more than black coffee before noon, but it looked nice and had a large assortment, far beyond juice, coffee, rolls, etc. Enjoy your day in Rouen...we liked it very much.

The creperie recommended by RS is great--we loved it. It is located by the cathedral on a side street.
