The best bars and cafés Rouen

Suzanne first marketed her pastries by delivery, before opening her boutique near the Antique Quarter.

Welcome to Brazil! On his return from South America, the owner, John Tranchard, created Casa das Batidas: an eco-responsible cocktail bar, the first in France. The decor was found in a vintage shop and the owner has introduced "zero waste". The cocktails, based on caipirinha and batidas, drinks made from mixed fruits, are served in large biodegradable and returnable cups. A festive place, bright and decorated like a Caribbean counter, to try!

Le Prélude Café is a restaurant, a bar, a tea room and a shop. It can boast of offering every lunchtime a quality cuisine, home-made with mostly local products.

Since its opening in the summer of 2018, the Pop Corn has been packed to capacity. It must be said that this is the very first time that a theme bar dedicated to science fiction and fantasy films has opened its doors in Rouen. Geeks and geeks gather here to enjoy creative cocktails under the guidance of a giant tyrannosaurus. Each floor has its own atmosphere. On the ground floor, we find ourselves immersed in a medieval atmosphere like Game of Thrones and The Lord of the Rings. On the first floor, science fiction is in the spotlight with references to Star Wars and Retour vers le Futur. Not to mention that the decoration should evolve over time according to current film news!

For over ten years now, Couleur Café has been inviting you to sample coffees and teas from all over the world: Kenya, Guatemala, Colombia, Brazil, including some exceptional vintages that will delight you, such as Diego Samuel's coffee, an exceptional product with notes of peach and apricot, or Laayooo, with its strawberry and citrus aromas. A wide range of organic and fair-trade products are on offer, as well as espresso machines.

Toast, dine, share. The motto, inscribed on the walls and networks of the establishment, is scrupulously applied. To toast, choose from sparkling Italian wines, white Spanish wines, or vintages closer to home, such as Utopie, an organic Loire wine, or a few other finds to charm the palate. For dinner, let yourself be inspired by the Mediterranean: tomato salads, asparagus a la plancha, or Moroccan brochettes. To share, sit comfortably by the counter or on the small, quiet terrace.

The XXL is always located on two levels with a bar to each of them. In the basement: a dance trail with DJ on weekends. Backroom and shower.
