Pascaline
About
Pascaline is a quintessential French bistro that feels both historic and intimate, nestled in the heart of Rouen’s Palais de Justice district. From the moment you step through its doorway, the warm, retro décor—leather banquettes, chalkboard menus, and vintage décor—sets the mood for a relaxed, family‑style dining experience. The menu, curated by Chef Stéphane Bertaux, turns regional, seasonal ingredients into comforting classics such as blanquette de veau, pot-au-feu, and foie gras à la canard, while subtly weaving modern twists that keep the dishes exciting. Whether you’re coming for a light lunch between 12:00 and 14:00 or a hearty dinner from 19:00 to 22:00 (with extended hours until 23:00 on Thursday through Saturday), Pascaline offers a welcoming atmosphere that celebrates communal fare and genuine hospitality. With a reputation that has grown from local acclaim to national recognition, the restaurant invites diners to indulge in authentic French cuisine and a convivial ambiance that feels like a second home.
