A
Brasserie Paul
The classic Rouennaise brasserie, favoured by artists and philosophers for over a century and still going strong. All the decorative trappings are there - starchy service, plush red seats and spinning overhead fans (not to mention the self-playing pianola) - and the menu is crammed with regional dishes, including Simone de Beauvoir's favourite smoked duck salad.

Pascaline
A top spot for a great-value formule midi (lunchtime fixed-price menu), this bustling bistro serves up traditional French cuisine in typically Parisian surroundings – think net curtains, white tablecloths and chuffing coffee machines. There’s live piano nightly, and jazz nights are held on Thursdays.

Au Temps des Cerises
There's no better place to check out Normandy's famous cheeses than this ever-popular restaurant (look out for the fox and raven murals outside). Choose your cheesy poison - the menu is packed with tartiflette, fondue and endless varieties of croûtes - and tuck in.
