anecdotes ô bistrot sur Rouen

I confess, I went there reluctantly. My husband loves going to Gill's. For me, the menu is boring. It's been the same since they opened! Beef tartare, salmon gravlax, duck, and calf's head... Let's go for the calf's head, which is rarely found in restaurants. I've had it before, and it was good. This time, I was served an unpresentable veal ratafia (see photo) that was barely fresh. The potato was reheated, and the veal stock sauce was tasteless. I would have preferred carefully cut pieces and a vinaigrette with gherkins for acidity. Clearly, the chef was also asleep at the wheel! However, the excellent glass of Burgundy made up for it. The desserts are good. My husband comes back time and again for the crème caramel, a guaranteed success, the best in all of western France! Special mention goes to the wait staff, who were very friendly and professional. They acknowledged the mistake and removed a calf's head from the bill. It was a nice touch, and such a gesture is rare enough to be worth noting.

Great food and experience. Keep it like this. 🤗🫶👍

Good dish of the day, and steak. Fish of the day was a bit tasteless but there were good vegetables. A quality children's menu. Friendly staff

Excellent meal, the fish was delicious, the sauce was original and fresh, a delight!

-Good food! -Generous portions! -Prices a bit high. -Server friendliness varies (something that could easily be improved 🙂). Note for those who might be bothered by the heat: during the mid-June heatwave, the restaurant was unbearably hot (no air conditioning or ceiling fan).

A very warm welcome, charming bistro decor, attentive service, delicious seasonal dishes, and excellent value for money. A must-visit!
