The restaurant environment is elegant and the waiters service is polite. The chef cooks with care and the price is generous and frugal. Enjoy the French restaurant style there and look forward to visiting again next time.

The restaurant is on a 900 year old beautifully preserved building. Table settings were impeccable. Our server had lots of experience creating the best context for the famous Rouen’s Canard (Canard au sang). Food plenty and delicious. Great experience!

We took train from Paris to Rouen to have lunch here. It was well worth the trip. Atmosphere and service was excellent. Food was over the top. My dish of Dover Sole was absolutely the best fish I have had during my 75 year life span. Each of the other three voiced the same satisfaction. All would have been just perfect had not my ham handed good friend, in his normal bumbling manner, dumped the stand, holding a large tray of ice and raw oysters, directly onto my plate and the table in front of me. I told him I might change my mind and insist he pick up the check. Seriously though, the waiter handled the mishap in a low key, very efficient manner, and lunch continued. Most excellent experience and my wife says we will be back.

What a wonderful place - marvelous food, great service, and a 14th century environment! Who could ask for more?? It was the best food I had in France (and that's saying a lot). Highly recommended

We had a lovely evening at La Couronne. From cocktails to dessert everything was perfect. We shared the terrine of foie Gras and each had the sole meunière. I had the Grand Marnier soufflé. It was perfect!

Very friendly staff and good (but not great food). Go for the glimpses of the photos or to say you went to the oldest cafe, but much better food options in Rouen, and less blatantly aimed at tourists.

Our meal at La Couronne was truly a highlight of our stop in Rouen. The Chateaubriand was fabulous—tender, flavorful, and perfectly prepared—while my wife’s scallops were equally outstanding. The Grand Marnier soufflé was the perfect dessert to complete an extraordinary meal. Dining in the oldest tavern in France added to the experience, with a charming, historic atmosphere that made the evening feel truly special. A memorable culinary experience from start to finish.

First things first: the ambience is really original. It reminded us a little of ‘L’Aile ou la cuisse’ with Louis de Funès. The reception was friendly. The table, on the other hand, was disappointing: completely pressed against the wall and wobbly. The waiters also noticed this, but nothing was done about it. No matter - luckily we found a piece of paper to put under the table in the bag. As we walked past, the waiter cleared the vase from our table, then turned his back on us and left us with the impression that we were to blame for the mishap. Wine service - something you might have expected in a restaurant like this - was rudimentary. The waiter usually only came when you were pouring your own. The food was okay overall. Nothing special, but definitely not bad. All in all, a restaurant that you are welcome to try. If you don't, it's not the end of the world. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
