Brasserie les 2 Rois sur Rouen

20/01/2026: The setting is very warm and pleasant; we felt very comfortable there. The waitress who served us upstairs was just as pleasant and very efficient! However, the pastries, while good, were much too sweet and therefore a bit too heavy. The hot chocolate was good, but the orange added just on top of the whipped cream was, for me, too cloying. A different way of combining chocolate and orange could have been more interesting. My friend had the white chocolate hot chocolate, which was good, but there was too much of it for such a sweet drink, so we didn't finish our entire afternoon tea, which felt like a waste of money. Less sugar, smaller portions, or a lower price would have made it much better. Having not tried the rest of the menu and being curious, I will still come back to try some savory dishes, or perhaps some cake or cookies with a cup of tea. 🙂 Thank you for the service. The experience was still very pleasant 🧐

10/01/2026: We were very disappointed with our lunch today: the focus on maximum profit was evident, resulting in very poor seating at a tiny table crammed together with others. The service was extremely slow. It was far too expensive for what was on the plate: €26 for a minuscule slice of puff pastry with a bit of salad and a slice of lemon tart with a soggy crust… it tasted like a pre-made tart base. In short, it's just a pretty view. In my opinion, its reputation is overrated.
