Gourmet products local specialties and wines Rouen

La Maison Bizet, founded in 1948, specialises in fermila poultry, as well as home-cooked meals and culinary preparations such as osso buco, stuffed quails with port and grapes, stuffed tomatoes or poppies à la Provençale. These dishes are crafted directly at the butchery. The flagship products remain, of course, the meat of butcher tradition, selected on the exclusive basis of traceability and quality, as well as the charcuterie, which is cut and prepared before your eyes on the two major central counters of this establishment where the good mood prevails.

Whether it's a farmer's chicken (roast or not), a rabbit to cook, or a kid in season, it would be a crime to go elsewhere when you go to Old Market Square. Beef roast is desired, and the advice of the masters of cooking time is always very wise. The place has also made an excellent reputation for blocks and game. And to accompany these delicious dishes, cheeses, desserts, wine, and small grocery stores are also available on-site.

Le Pré de la Bataille is a Rouennaise association created in 1892. Today, it is recognised as being of public utility and manages four establishments and services of assistance through work. In 2018, Le Pré de la Bataille opened a production workshop in Notre-Dame-de-Bondeville, specialising in the manufacture of sweets like delicious orangettes, original fruit jellies, marshmallows, and the now-famous Rouen cherry or apple sugar, an ancestral speciality that has been delighting gourmets for centuries. The association opens the doors of its workshop where you can discover the processes of creation of chocolates, sugars, and other sweets, sold in the shop and on the association's website. A very good initiative!

In this small bakery on Rue Saint-Nicolas, you can find good quality breads, such as the "Little Mary" baguette, which is probably one of the best breads in Rouen. On the pastries side, you can find classic chocolate bread and croissants, soft flakes, and a variety of sandwiches to satisfy appetites. But the bakery is not limited to traditional items, and there are also more original gourmet treats such as homemade chocolate biscuits and traditional caramel chocolate bars! Whether it's for breakfast, lunch, or a snack, there is always a good reason to come and visit the bakery!

In short, you are sure to find what you are looking for! And if you come by car, parking is free for purchases of 35 euros or more!

Quality, requirement, know-how, tradition… In a few words, the philosophy of this discreet but very famous house of the rue de l'Epicerie. Located just a few meters from the Cathedral, this butchery works only with high-quality meat with impeccable freshness and traceability. The house has recently changed its owner, but it always favours products that are well known. We know what we sell, and we don't sell anything else. You can even find products that are already cooked. It's not uncommon to have to queue for long minutes before you can be served, both in the shop and by the Rouennais. A good address, the right one!

As lovers of quality cheese, the Fromagerie du Vieux Marché is simply one of the best addresses in Rouen and a must in the area. All the cheeses sold here are matured and rigorously selected throughout France. When shopping, take advantage of the advice of the local master for a guaranteed taste pleasure when unpacking these precious cheeses. On request, the shop can prepare a complete tray with sheep's milk cheeses, a vacherin, a neufchâtel, a real Comté or an old Fribourg. Not to mention the large varieties of goats in season, mozzarella with Neapolitan sauce or Sassenage blue. Other products from the region can be found here, such as eggs, Norman cider or even small pastries. The sausages are also available for sale with the same principle of authenticity and quality as for cheese. Here is an address that is highly recommended. A sure bet for cheese lovers!

In the Berigny cellars, you will find a wide choice of regional appellations and great classified growths, such as beautiful Burgundies, great wines from Bordeaux and wines from Languedoc-Roussillon or the Rhone Valley, and all this without forgetting the unmissable champagne. But that's not all! By lingering a little in the heart of the different departments, you can also discover spirits and wines imported from California, Argentina and Chile. The welcome is warm, but we regret the lack of choice of beverages other than wines and the lack of advice from the staff.

This small Romanian boutique is undoubtedly one of the city's most gourmet addresses. There are all the great classics of French pastry, mastered perfectly by Philippe Bertin - a craftsman who tastes good. Sweet beams can delight the delicious specialties of the house, including: the famous apple pie with its fine pastry and its mountain of caramelized apples that threatens to collapse, the tangy lemon tart and its meringue topping, with its chocolate of all kinds. Every season, new recipes are added to the usual gourmets. In winter, the salty butter tart will delight your palate. In summer, treat yourself to the ice creams and sorbets of the house. Go down!

Healthier than wine, tea is a drink with flavours as delicate and varied. Now very trendy on lifestyle blogs, there are hundreds of mixtures. More and more brands dedicated to the art of tea are thus flourishing, like the Palais des Thés. François was founded by François, a passionate tea researcher who has travelled around the world for 25 years to identify the most promising tea plantations. Since then, the brand has opened shops throughout France. Each of them has a sober and modern design, a tasting corner where you can taste the new ones and another dedicated to the accessories needed to infuse a good tea (iron teapots, selected temperature kettles, tea filters, etc.). In Rouen, the friendly staff is always quick to distil their advice, to steer you towards teas in accordance with your tastes: rather an Earl Grey, infusion, black tea, green or white tea, delicate, wooded, fruity, smoked. If you don't know what tea to choose from, choose Hammam Tea, a green Chinese tea (pink, green dates, red fruits and orange flowers) that never disappoints.
