10/10The ambiance, the wait staff, the food were all exceptional! But the highlight was the carving and preparation of the duck.

7/10The kitchen is to be commended; the food was excellent. The service, however, could be improved. At times it bordered on surly, and we waited 45 minutes for dessert. We waited an additional 45 minutes for our check and were then brought the wrong one. There are many excellent restaurants in Rouen; we won’t be returning to this one.

10/10Most tourists hit the OBV in France... visiting the standard INSTA icons and eating the standard French meals at pleasant little restaurants. As world travelers and committed FOODIES, we want something more. Across all of the cuisines in all the restaurants of all the countries my 58 years has presented me, I can think of nothing that outshines our experience at LA COURONNE (France's oldest auberge). Arriving for the 7:30pm seating and staying until after 11:00pm, we hit upon their classic meal ... Oysters with Mignonette Sauce to start (extraordinary), Chateaubriand topped with fresh pan-fried Fois Gras in the classic Chef Marie-Antoine's Briand Sauce served with Dauphinoise Potatoes (extraordinary), and the Dessert du Maison, Souffle Grand Marnier (extraordinary). Two visits to the table by the flamboyant matron-de-maison added to the ambiance. My recommendation? If you have any love for French Cuisine, do not die before you eat at LA COURONNE...

5.5/10The food was reasonable. The service was so slow. Our plates from our main course sat in front of us for over 30 minues once we were obviuyosly done with piles of fat and inedible bits of the beef, not a great view. If you want 3 courses in 3 hours then this is the place for you. If they don't have the staff to handle all the tables maybe don't fill so many tables. They seem to serve to suit themselvges, keeping all the tables on the same courses. I certainly won't go back again.

4/10The lobster was frozen before and like chewing gum. The main course was a little duck leg on mashed potatoes - very tiny. I had been several times visited this restaurant, but this time it was the last time.

10/10We loved eating in such an old restaurant, one that inspired Julia Childs. The food was great and also beautiful. The service was good. The waiter was incredibly busy waiting nine tables, but he continued to wait on us pleasantly.

9/10Loved the sole! Was completely disappointed in the bread they served with meal!! It was a roll. In the land of the baguette, why a plain dull roll?

10/10I tend to have a simple taste palette but I enjoy cooking and have always been curious to try a genuine gourmet experience. On a recent and first time visit to Rouen, I followed the advice of reviewers and visited La Couronne, famed as the location where Julia Child enjoyed her first great French meal. My expectations were consequently high and I can say with great pleasure that La Couronne exceeded every expectation! I tried several dishes that were completely new to me and each one was a delicious dream that I never wanted to awaken from! I cleaned my plates completely because I could not bear to send back one morsel unenjoyed. It was a genuine revelation that has expanded my appreciation for excellent food and bolstered my courage to try even more new foods to find my next favorite. The dinner at La Couronne will delight your senses and bring an immediate smile to your face and great satisfaction to your soul.
