But we were staying in Vieux-Port about an 8 minute drive away and this was actually the closest restaurant. 3 course lunch for 18 euro and OMMMFFFFGGG!!! It was amazing. The pork with mushroom sauce. I died. If you're anywhere near this its an amazing place to get a very affordable gourmet meal.

They have an amazing prix fixe (appetizer, entree, cheese course, dessert)....it was the best meal…read morewe had in France on a recent 5-day trip. The 4 delicious courses were a relative steal compared to prices in Paris. 5-star service. If you're exploring the Seine valley villages, definitely stop here for dinner.

Aujourd'hui c'est un ancien de Marc Veyrat qui reprend les cuisines : le chef Christophe Mauduit. C'est au pied de la spendide abbaye de Jumièges, sur la petite place, que L'Auberge des Ruines prend place. Alliant poutres d'origine, une cheminée, à un mobilier contemporain. Le décor prône le mélange des genres en toute harmonie. Une harmonie que l'on retrouve dans la cuisine du chef qui parvient à marier audacieusement les bons produits des producteurs locaux.

Si quelque chose ne convient pas, bien sûr je peux proposer des menus spécialement adaptés, comme un menu végétarien. Il faut garder la liberté de la composition des plats pour profiter des arrivages et choisir les produits les plus beaux, les plus frais du moment. C'est un retour à l'essentiel : une viande, un poisson, des légumes, une belle sauce et c'est tout. Chaque plat offre un voyage à travers différents goûts, différentes textures...

My family & I are in the French countryside (which feels like the middle of farms and nowhere). We were very hungry when we stopped here, and the hostess found the 1 staff person in the restaurant who spoke English. We didn't know till the end of the meal that this staffer was the owner of the restaurant! Not only was the food here delicious (and much more plentiful than normal French portions) but the staff went out of their way to help us. For example, we asked the owner for directions to a gas station (our rental car has a leaky tire) and he gave us directions verbally and then came back to our table with paper and pen to give us written directions too! I highly recommend dinning here.
