  • 1. Fort de Thé

    $

    Teatime at this charming salon de thé set in a stately 18th-century house could only be topped by teatime in its garden, complete with views of the Seine over the rooftops of the old city. A range of irresistible desserts from the cart are made with organic flour milled in town and can be enjoyed with your choice of tea, coffee, wines by the glass, or the locally made beverages: cider, beer, and apple juice. They're only open at teatime from 2–7.

  • 2. Gill Côté Bistro

    $$$ | Le Vieux-Marché

    With two Michelin stars under his toque for his tony gastronomic Restaurant Gill, chef Gilles Tournadre jumped at the chance to open a bistro on Rouen's storied Place du Vieux-Marché. Sleek and modern, it specializes in updated bistro fare, offering a great value fixed-price menu.

  • 3. L'Odas

    $$$$ | Hôtel de Ville

    Rouen's Michelin-starred sensation, l'Odas is the brainchild of chef Olivier da Silva, whose selection of four- and six-course tasting menus has earned accolades for their seasonality, inventiveness, and deep connection to the surrounding countryside. Add a sensational view of Rouen's cathedral from the sleek yet warm dining room, and this makes for a singular way to experience Rouen's top-flight cuisine.

  • 4. La Couronne

    $$$$ | Le Vieux-Marché

    Behind a half-timber facade filled with geraniums, the "oldest inn in France," dating from 1345, is crammed with stained leaded glass, sculpted wood beams, marble Norman chimneys, leather-upholstered chairs, and damask curtains. Of its many famous guests over the centuries, perhaps the most celebrated here is Julia Child, who ate her first meal in France—"the most exciting meal of my life"—here. A prix-fixe menu recreates that meal with a green salad, a half-dozen oysters on the half-shell, and sole meunière. Add "a whole bottle of Pouilly-Fumé," as Child did, for maximum authenticity. 

    31 pl. du Vieux-Marché, Rouen, Normandy, 76000, France
    02–35–71–40–90

    Known For

    • Cozy, wood-lined Salon des Rôtisseurs, an antiquarian's delight
    • Cool history
    • Excellent value, prix-fixe dinner menu

  • 5. Restaurant Gill

    $$$$ | Le Vieux-Marché

    On the quay at the heart of Rouen's gastronomic epicenter, Restaurant Gill was Rouen's only two-Michelin-star restaurant for 36 years—until chef Gilles Tournadre famously asked to exit the system in 2020. Stars or no, Tournadre maintains his reputation for culinary rigor, working with the splendors of the Norman woods, fields, and shore: oysters, crab, scallops, lobster, and several types of fish can be found on the menu every day, along with game like hare and piglet. Signature dishes include pigeon à la Rouennaise and veal sweetbread medallions with slow-simmered leeks and potatoes with truffles. When ordering your dinner, remember to request the soufflé made with (what else?) a silky old Norman Calvados. Although the tasting menu is pricey, it's worth the splurge for a primer in one of France's great regional cuisines.

    8–9 quai de la Bourse, Rouen, Normandy, 76000, France

  • 6. SaQuaNa

    $$$$

    Chef Alexandre Bourdas put Honfleur on the gastronomic map more than a decade ago with this spot, earning Michelin's Bib Gourmand for value. From the ravishing dining room to the impeccable presentation, his restaurant is a study in getting it right down to the smallest detail, with surprising combinations like sea bream with nori and marinated sanshō or cabbage tempura with a truffle crust.

    22 pl. Hamelin, Honfleur, Normandy, 14600, France
    02–31–89–40–80

    Known For

    • Elements of Bourdas's native Midi-Pyrénées cuisine
