Reviews Summary
Chez L'Gros is celebrated for its outstandingly tasty and rich homemade food, served in a cozy bistro atmosphere. Diners consistently praise the quality of the dishes, the generous portions, and the exceptional hospitality of the owner, who creates a welcoming, family-like environment.

"Nice and homey place to eat in while in Rouen. We ordered a day menus, oyster platter, cheese, and drinks. Everything was excellent. Oysters are better than in Cancale. The meat was tender and juicy. Immense variety of cheeses. Wonderful recommendations of wines and drinks by owner.
The owner is fun and charming, bringing the whole whole place together with his hospitality and sense of humour."

"What a great place.. wonderful food. Venue appears to be chalkboard fresh daily, gracious service, full of locals but we didn't feel out of place at all. Has a delicious lunch with a nice section of glassed wine."

"As soon as we walked in, we knew this was a special place. A congenial, "everyone is family" feeling. And then there was the nouriture, a gift from the extraordinarily talented chef. The special salad, the canard, the veal - mouth watering and a lovely presentation. The apple and pear dessert was just fabulous."
