Restaurants in Rouen?

I had a great seafood dinner at La Pêcherie a few years back, at a very reasonable price for the quality of the food - but seafood is never cheap. Still going strong according to recent reviews!

Many thanks. I’ll check it out.

Two of us did a day trip to Rouen the last week of March, following suggestions in RS guidebook. We stopped at the chocolate shop, a pastry shop to pick up items for eating later. We were ready to eat at 6, so went back to the square at Jeanne d'Arc Church. I know this is a touristy area, but there weren't many other tourists at that time. We ate at Marcel, because we noted canard breast and foie grass were on the menu. My partner had the breast, I had the foie gras, we shared a side order of potatoes, and had a glass of wine each. Total was 41 euros (service included). Lots of people were sitting outside under tents. The square is a popular place for after-work drinks and appetizers, with most brasseries open for service all day. Places outside the cathedral were mostly closed when we got there mid-afternoon, so I assume those places had limited lunch hours.

Can anyone comment about La Couronne? It would be interesting to see all of the photos on the walls. Is the food any good?

I had lunch at La Couronne in April 2022. I was so hoping to have a great lunch, but the food was mediocre. Service was attentive. I ordered the Normandy menu, with white asparagus as a starter (too tough to cut), lamb chops with grilled vegetables (lamb was very fatty and the chops were of different sizes so varied in degrees of doneness). The best part of the meal was sitting across from a large photo of Julia Child, whose culinary adventures began with a lunch of sole meunière at this restaurant. Lunch for one with wine and coffee was about 60€. It was worth it to me for the experience.

Thanks Nancy,
I can't decide whether or not to go. Will play it by ear.
