Many people in Rouen had used a little English with us when we got stuck, but not...here so be prepared! Google translate came in handy for the menu. There is only one cover in the evening most people arrived when the restaurant opened at 7.30pm. That meant that the one waitress was busy for 20 mins before taking our order. The menus are on chalkboards on the walls this means it is easier to change the menu keep it seasonal. I had an aperitif, my other half had half a litre of red wine the teens had lemonade. We each had starters mains but no dessert as we were full. The bill came to 99 Euros pretty good we thought for city centre, well cooked delicious food. We had vegetable tarts/smoked salmon for starters then lamb shank (the best one , guinea fowl, bream and my daughter a large salad with chicken (I think memory fail! . The waitress was pleasant, attentive when needed, prompt polite. The atmosphere was great gentle chat, laughter the background of the kitchen at work. No intrusive music which we liked enormously. To round off a good evening people at the next table started chatting to us thank heavens they spoke good English! . All in all a delightful time.

The menu is a little eclectic (see snails, saddle of rabbit) which is fine but the execution was basic. Nothing wrong...with simple if it is done well. However, the sea snails were very gritty and served simply seasoned with vinegar and a mayo/mustard sauce. Both the meat dishes we ordered (the rabbit and a bavette steak) were overcooked and tough. If you're going to do simple. Do it well. The restaurant that evening was understaffed. One person in the kitchen making all the food and one person doing table service and serving the drinks. The service and welcome was excellent and highly professional. The chef did his best on his own but was massively overstretched and the food suffered.
