After that, waiter professional, food arrived fast, flammekuech not very tasty, too much filling & soggy bottom, salad, gewurtztraminer, bread & coffee all good. One of the few all day joints in Rouen. Tourists & locals for that reason. 18,80 Euros for 3 course menu which sounded good.

Service personnel was also busy and gave us delayed, wrong orders.The house menu was good, but its specialty was "Choucroute", some infamous old grub served to soldiers and priced at E13.95; only a sausage, some sauerkraut and some potatoes. Call that something eaten only by soldiers or those on a slim budget. I chose, instead, just a dozen escargots in garlic butter which, with bread, were tasty and came eventually My wife had also another appetizer, probably mussels, and we were both satisfied without more. Service, in general, was slow and confused.

I ate outside on a sunny day with a beautiful view of the church. the escargot was perfectly followed by magret de canard. excellent service. I would definitely return and highly recommend.
