Caen & Rouen Restaurants
 

In November we'll be spend three nites in Caen and Rouen. Any suggestions where to dine for all 3 meals.
Thanks
Tom

In Caen we really liked the tiny, crowded Bouchon du Vaugueux, 12 rue Graindorge, a pedestrianized area. The young chef turns out excellent bistro-style food.
Reservations recommended: tel 02 31 44 26 26

I found some sites that praise it but having trouble doing a tiny url with this new Mac, so if you Google it, you will find them. Sorry not to be more helpful with specifics.

I hope that's a total of 3 nights, because 3 nights in Caen would be a bit of a waste IMO, unless of course you had business or family there.

At any rate, in Rouen I'd recommend Café de la Digue for amazing oysters and seafood, Gill for some upscale local cuisine, and le Jardin du Vieux Marché for a reasonable, tasty meal.

St.Cirq,
Maybe they'll be doing the WWII sites and want more than a glance at them, or using them for a base as they explore other places. I wouldn't assume this is a mistake.
We were in Caen for two nights, certainly didn't find anywhere to recommend, but then we were focused more on the beaches and history than food. I've learned, though, that it is better to be prepared and won't make the mistake of not asking about good food again!

Well, in the general scheme of things, it's not a huge mistake, but since Bayeux is so close by, with its wealth of historical offerings and good restaurants (not to mention its intactness in the aftermath of WWII), it seems a shame to make a base in Caen...IF that's what they're doing.

In Rouen, La Couronne for dinner. Great food (since 1345!), charming building (facing the Place du Vieux Marche where Jeanne d'Arc was executed and site of the local market).
