Found this place by local recommendation…read more Very nice presentation on the outside and inside. No English here, so you'll have to depend on your French to get by. The staff, however, is very accomodating and will do their best to help you navigate the menu. Great wine list. Opted for a rich Cotes du Rhine. Order individual items or select from their Prix fix list with an Entree + Plat; Plat + Dessert, or all three. Started off with a delicious soup on the Entree list: Velouté de panais et tpinambout aux duex lardons. Rich, warm and satisfying. Along with the crusty bread and wine, you could make a meal on this alone. Next, the Plat. A Normandy specialty: Cocotte de canard aux duex pommes. Basically, duck stew. The duck was perfect. Tender...falls right off the bone. The broth was rich and spiced lightly along with some potato, apples & onion. My Dad had the Le Pot au feu de boeuf (Beef Stew). He loved it. I tried some, but preferred my pot of duck much better. Finished off with a baked apple dish, "Gratin de Pomme et sabayon au calvados". Delicious. Not too sweet or filling! Yikes, I was already stuffed. Pascaline's is a sure hit if you are in Rouen and would like to enjoy traditional Norman cuisine in a great setting (and you won't have to break the bank) to enjoy it,

Pascaline offers traditional French dishes without any twist or creativity, in a traditional bistro…read moredecor without any distinctive touch or creativity (clearly geared toward tourists who crave what they think of a "French" ambiance. To me, it looks tired). Service is OK, food is OK except for desserts (a slice of industrial tarts from the supermarket anyone?) and for the bread, which I would not serve in jail (tasteless rubbery foam). They have live jazz several nights a week. The band was good on the night I went. They're the not the worst but you can do much better nearby: L'Espiguette (this is the real thing: traditional French bistro fare done right and 100% house made from scratch), Le Parvis (a bit more creative and personable), 16/9 (more modern), 37 (more upscale but reasonably priced), La Place (more casual) restaurants come to mind.

We decided to visit Rouen, which is a 2 hour train ride from Paris. After exploring Rouen all…read moremorning, we came here for lunch before heading back to the train station. The restaurant is very spacious and had an extensive menu. We decided to order the camembert roti (cheese with duck, salad, and potatoes), escargot, and confit de canard (duck leg with potatoes). The portions were quite large and we were able to share all the dishes between 2 people. The escargot was yummy and flavorful and I enjoyed the Camembert cheese with the salad and potatoes. The duck leg was also a tasty bite and we were especially keen on trying it since duck is a specialty of the region. Overall, this was a great spot for lunch, the portions and prices are fair and the staff were all welcoming!

My favorite was the Steak Tartare, made of raw minced beef dressed with chopped pickles, capers, onions, and mustard, all in a creamy sauce and served with lightly dressed salad greens on the side. On the side came more condiments including Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, mustard, salt, and pepper, for enhancing the flavors. I also tried the Turkey Leg in a creamy mushroom sauce and served with gratin dauphinoise, a creamy potato casserole. All in all, these were two tasty bistro dishes that came at very affordable prices--but the menu was so much more extensive!

It was a great omelette as well - and of course coffee was strong and tasty. Highly recommend this place to anyone in the historic town of Rouen.

Visited here on Friday evening without reservations. While we were looking to dine outside, we had…read moreto dine indoors as the lovely patio was booked. It was warm inside, but the delicious food made it so worthwhile! Wine list wonderful; lots of choices. I selected the 3 courses for a set price. My choices were a salmon crudo with avocado starfruit guacamole, a perfectly grilled chicken breast with local vegetables, and a divine raspberry souffle. Best meal in France! Highly recommend!

We had about an hour available for lunch before we needed to check out form out hotel and travel…read moreback to Paris so we stopped in at La Part des Agnes since it was near our hotel and appeared to have seating available. I had picked the restaurant since they were one of the few which offered salads and I needed a break from eating sandwiches for lunch. Once we sat down and I tried to order salad they notified us they were out of salad, which was surprising since it was a such a large portion of their menu. Since I was attempting to be healthy I ordered the ""Assiette Vegetarienne". When the dish arrived it felt like more of an assortment of random vegetables put together rather than a cohesive dish. The cauliflower and zucchini was mushy and tasted like they had just been doused in butter. The potatoes on the side were simply boiled potatoes with some paprika on top. The carrot salad on the side was the only thing which tasted fresh since it wasn't cooked in butter. Overall I was just disappointed in the dish that I ordered, my boyfriend ordered a burger and he was perfectly content with it. With so many amazing dining options available in Rouen I would probably not come back here again.
