Sparkling water ordered and not served. A fishy smelling butter was served and waiter said the restaurant did not have regular butter. Terrible service. Wine staff knew nothing about wine. Never gave me an opportunity to order a second glass of wine. Chocolate dessert would disappoint anyone as it was stale as well as mediocre. Really limited menu. The only fish course was haddock. The only chicken dish had liver. Shrimp Appetizer was small and tackily served in a throw away container with tiny shrimp. Veal dish was terrible. Extremely disappointed and upset at this horrible dinner. A wasted meal in France.

Wow!!! Incredible. I happened upon this location wandering off the central square and noted it down…read morein the cellar with arched colonnaded ceilings and modern chandeliers. No one was in at 7:30, but the menu looked fun. It was lovely, picture perfect, entertaining to the eyes and palate cuisine. Every course was fun. L'Oeuf Parfait was perfect. Low temperature cooking is new for me.The cool temperature of the first course made all the individual flavors stand out. I followed up with Le Canard, which came out as an architectural masterpiece. This was another dish with multiple flavors and multiple textures that tasted as good as it looked. Finishing with Poire, a marinated pear with chocolate shavings and chocolate ganache topped off the Prix Fixe meal. There were two levels of meals above this that looked just as incredible on the neighboring tables. The meal also started with a fun Amuse Bouche and ended with a trio of miniature desserts after coffee. If you enjoy a fabulous setting, architectural food, new tastes and flavors, then this is a place for you. The service was just as wonderful with youthful waitstaff who described the food with enthusiasm, occasionally getting ahead of my capacity for the French tongue.

My husband and my last night in Rouen - he had been wanting escargot from France - and we had it!!…read moreGreat garlic butter! The escargot were tender and a good size. Loved to dip the bread in the garlic butter. The inside felt a little cramped, however we started talking to the people sitting next to us and were delighted to be sitting close enough to have some laughs with them! While what we ordered was not what we received, we still enjoyed the flavors of what we were served. I ordered the Buttery partridge with capers but fish with capers is what was served. The fish was moist with no fishy flavor and the capers complimented it well!! My husband ordered the French veal rib but was served a pork chop. For desert we had a Cafe Gourmet - tonight's dessert assortment - espresso with four different ice creams with whipped cream on the side. It was a very enjoyable 2 hour meal and the staff were attentive and patient with us for not speaking French. Would love to be able to return.

Seared foie gras - I've been craving for seared foie gras so I may be biased. Goodness, the…read moreperfectly seared foie gras with an excellent foie gras. I've foie gras in another country (it's banned in California). And some have tendon and but perfectly soft like they did. Perfectly seared. With some pear which enhanced the flavor and reduced the heaviness of it. Duck confit - It's not the duck confit I had before. It's almost like a jerky duck. Very flavorful. The potatoes were well done with duck fat, bacon and garlic. The sauce goes really well with it with a bit of sweetness in the sauce. Steak - this was the only one that's not allowed me to give a 5 stars. The steak was overcooked, we asked for medium rare and it was medium well, a little on the salty side as well, but not getting point deducted because it may be how the French like it and the cheese sauce actually helped neutralize it All in all, very high quality meal. 4.5 stars.

Do not go to this place if you don't speak French. The server did not give us menu until 20 minutes…read moreafter we sat down. 30 minutes passed and we still did not have water. The tables came after us already ordered and enjoyed the dinner while we were waiting for water. In fact , we needed to walked up to the waiter to ask for water. The server was rude and said "no English!" We were not expecting people to know English. But what can we do when we are in a French restaurant and do not know the language? I would expect servers to at least try to communicate, not simply ignoring us. We would have just stood up and walked away if we were back in the US. However, it was almost 10pm and we were not sure if anything else would be still opening. With a 7-year-old boy with us, we had to suck it up and make sure we at least had some food. Speaking of food. The dish is super salty. I could not finish the dish even though I was starving. In conclusion, this is an average restaurant. And if you don't speak French, don't even try to get close.

As a starter I had a tarte tatin with caramelized red onions and roasted goat cheese. The onions had a nice sweet taste but were a little too chunky. Then I had a creamy seafood risotto which was good without being exceptional. The deco and the ambience are very nice and the wine list impressive. Overall, we had a good time and prices are very reasonable.

Chic and cosy at the same time, you will leave La Petite Bouffe feeling very full (be sure to come fairly hungry/starving) but very happy. 20 eu fixed menu for dinner included an appetizer (salad with foie gras was amazing, would also recommend the duck pate), a main course (GET THE DUCK, or the lamb), a side of cheese+bread, a dessert (note, the tiramisu actually has fruits not coffee, you should only get profiteroles if you like almonds/almond liquer, and the vanilla creme brulee was warm and perfect), and also tea/coffee. Though they give you a lot of food, they do not compromise on quality. Place gets packed ~9 pm, so if you're an American take advantage and eat earlier (~6:30/7 when it's not peak eating hours)

The interior is likewise well laid out with nice decor, creating a pleasant ambiance. We had made reservations and were thus seated immediately. Our waiter attended to us quickly and did a very good job during our visit. The menu featured several very tempting options. I decided to try the Squash Velouté as a starter, which was quite good. My colleague tried the snails and was happy with his choice. For my main, I chose the Cod with Curry Cream and Black Rice Risotto. I was very happy with the taste. My colleague had the same and was equally happy. For dessert, I tried the chocolate mousse. Laden with chocolate chips, it was excellent. My colleague had the Lemon Tart which also very good. The prices were not bad. The starter+main+dessert combo was 28€. With the coffee and a bottle of wine, the total was about 50€ per person. This was a fair value given the quality. I hope I'm in a place to visit this fine restaurant again.
