What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Tandem is celebrated for its exceptional fine French cuisine, intimate atmosphere, and attentive service, making it a must-visit in Rouen. While the small size means reservations are crucial, the high-quality, beautifully presented dishes and the dedication of the chef and waitress create a memorable dining experience.
"You need to book. Not less than nine potential clients were turned away tonight.
This restaurant is exceptional. Very fair prices for high quality, beautifully presented food demonstrating exceptional care and a detailed ingredient knowledge from the chef. Small menu, but ideal for this situation to ensure that every dish is perfect.
A single chef and waitress manage the restaurant which caters for about 28 diners at most. An intimate and genuinely delightful opportunity to experience fine French cuisine in a cobbled street with ancient buildings and just 50m from the cathedral in Rouen.
I would suggest that this restaurant should not be missed."

"Wonderful dinner in a very comfortable setting! It's lovely to be in a restaurant where the tables aren't packed together! Our hostess/server greeted us warmly and spoke very good English. Our 3 course meal with an excellent bottle of wine was 150€. The food was very nicely presented and delicious; we would gladly return!"
Fredericka Rose
"Excellent meal, service and atmosphere. Highly recommend. I’d recommend getting a reservation a day or two in advance since it’s a small restaurant, only one server and chef when I was there. That only added to the atmosphere."

A gastropub down the street from the Church of St-Maclou, the restaurant’s name is a poetic reference to the owners–Fabien in the kitchen and Victoria in the dining room–welcoming guests in tandem. The chic restaurant’s black shopfront and alfresco seating exude a beautiful atmosphere. The menu rotates every two months to present the season’s finest ingredients on fine plating.
