Rouen has many restaurants offering different qualities of service. The Michelin guide created in 1990 has once again ranked the best restaurants in Rouen this year.
Thus, this year 5 restaurants in Rouen were named “Michelin plate”
The inspector judges the plate, nothing but the plate and absolutely nothing else. It does not take into account the before and after the meal. Regardless of the welcome, the setting, the quality of the service, the sound system of the room, none of this comes into play to award the precious stars, it is a pre-star in a way.
2 Rouennais restaurants have won 1 Michelin star
The stars distinguish establishments, all styles of cuisine combined, which offer the best quality of cuisine. The criteria selected are: the choice of products, creativity, mastery of cooking and flavors, quality/price ratio as well as regularity.
Restaurants judged by the plate
The street lamp
We start without further ado with Le Réverbère, a restaurant in the city center which offers traditional Asian cuisine with a twist. José Rato, the chef for over 30 years with refined senses, dares in his kitchen by mixing different foods making his dishes original. At the street light, we favor seasonal and local products.
The Epicurius
In a pedestrian street in old Rouen, former colleagues from the Gill restaurant created the Epicurius and invented a revamped decor for their French gourmet restaurant (suspended lights, blond wooden tables, duck blue walls, etc.). A trendy gourmet bistro that serves refined and tasty cuisine.
The nymphs
Les Nymphéas offers you quality gourmet dishes and welcomes you in a warm and friendly 17th century setting on the old market square to let you taste their specialties. Since 1991, this restaurant has been renowned for its gourmet and traditional cuisine with many flavors.
Place
La Place in Rouen is above all a team formed by Gilles Tournadre (a gifted chef, guarantor of high-end cuisine, firmly anchored in his region) and his second in command Damien Duboc. Inspired by the flavors of the world, you can enjoy inventive cuisine while enjoying the view of the Sainte-Jeanne d'Arc church.
Gill Coté Bistro
Also located on the Place du Vieux-Marché, we owe this “Côté Bistro” to the same chef as La Place and the Gill restaurant, chef Gilles Tournadre. Veal head with gribiche sauce, pure pork country andouillette, hot sausage with pistachio nuts, or even pork chops, mashed potatoes with garlic and herbs... Fresh produce is in the spotlight.
Starred restaurants from Rouen
The Odas
Located in the heart of the old town and a stone's throw from the cathedral, this restaurant is the creation of Olivier Da Silva.
He delights in complete relaxation: his seasonal cuisine is precise and balanced, with citrus notes to bring pep and liveliness. You can even observe the work in the kitchen from the room, an always delightful sight. Finally, let's not forget the pleasant terrace, out of sight.
Rodolphe
Rodolphe is a very beautiful Rouen restaurant whose notoriety today goes far beyond Seine-Maritime.
In this gourmet restaurant we create original dishes, willingly going off the beaten track and we execute, with rigor and with a constant concern for aesthetics, dishes that delight the eyes before seducing your taste buds. Through his cuisine, chef Rodolphe Pottier wishes to transmit values and transcribe these emotions: pleasure, sharing and conviviality.
