"We were here on a Viking River cruise, and since the ship stayed overnight in Rouen, we knew we had to go ashore and find this restaurant. And are we glad we did, this was the best mussels & french fries both of us have ever had - and let me state that my wife and I have eaten mussels and french fries not only all over France, but all over the world !The weather was incredibly good, and we had a sidewalk table, which allowed us to enjoy the weather, the people walking by, as well as other diners.Both of us had a Bière à la pression with our meal, and it too, was quite good. The restaurant staff were very nice, the meal was excellent, and they have a number of different sauces the mussels can be had in. I had the curry sauce (fantastic!) and my wife had the Moules à la Marinière, which were also excellent.As others have pointed out, the portion size is small or large, we had the small which came with fries and was more than enough !The restaurant is a short walk from the river, so if you are there on a river cruise, take a walk to this restaurant and I guarantee you will find it worth your time and money !"

This place has a huge selection of mussel dishes, we wish we could have tried them all! Sit out on the patio if you get lucky with the weather.

At the time of our visit, they did not have the option to choose the size of the pot. I ordered the wine mussels, and hubby had the cream. Mussels were fresh and just the right size that I prefer. The server poured the juice to a bowl, and she said they are the only restaurant that does that. I like this extra step the restaurant takes to serve the food. I thought the taste was good but did not blow me away.

This small restaurant serves nothing but Moules et frites, in many sauces you could ever imagine - Camembert, Neufchatel, Lobster bisque, curry, carbonara....to name a few. You can change the frites to a green salad if you wish. Rue eau de Robec is a quaint street very close to the Abbaye St-Ouen. The ambience is pleasant, service friendly, very reasonable price, large portions.....can't ask for more. A MUST if you visit Rouen and a mussels lover.

It's a small restaurant and at first glance you are not sure you have the right place. But if you are truly into mussels and just want to go wild, this is the place. They serve them any way you can imagine and they are full pots of delicious goodness. Unlimited fries and bread. That with the few beers we consumed as well, it was a perfect meal for my husband and I. The service as well was friendly and enjoyable.They have tables inside and outside and probably it's a good idea to call to be sure you can get a table, especially in season.

What a wonderful little restaurant! Mussels only, but 12 different broths to choose from. Menu also in English. Friendly staff. Prompt service. Lunch is 12:00-2:00. We got there right before opening and it was filled (16 seats) by 12:30. Some outdoor seating.€13 for a small, but plentiful crock plus bread and thin-cut fries. Larger crock also available. Located on the Rue Eau de Robec, a wonderfully photogenic street with a stream embedded in the curbing and no cars. Plenty of other small eateries. You should walk the street just for the pleasure of it.

If you want an abundance of gloriously fresh, tasty, well-prepared local mussels, you must visit. You can order from a range of traditional moules-frites dishes as well as some more adventurous variations (including mussel curry and mussel carbonara with pasta). If, however, you are less than passionate about mussels you should really look elsewhere; it is cramped, the tiny tables are barely big enough for wine glasses let alone bowls or cauldrons steaming mussels, your chair risks toppling into the adjacent brook if you sit outside (and you really wouldn't want to sit inside), oh and there is only mussels, mussels and more mussels on the menu!

We found this place by chance whilst browsing. The first thing we liked was that it seemed 'low key' yet all the tables seemed be be full of locals all tucking into a variety of Moules. As a table emptied we dived in and found that basically it concentrated on Moules with thin Frites in huge bowls. We order one lot with cream and another with curry (!) and both came accompanied with steaming bowls of frites which were filled up as the waitress passed. The food itself was great including the pudding 'Cafe Gourmand' (delicious) and the price was very reasonable. Service was very pleasant and just for info, the toilet was spotlessly clean. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. Ps... we had...

We love mussels dishes with lots of fries, so we were in our element at Le Rocher. My wife was thrilled that, in addition to the usual varieties (beer, curry, etc.), Le Rocher has varieties using the popular local cheeses in the broth - Camembert and Roquefort. So she ordered the Roquefort, and loved it so much that we had to go back a second time.The four star rating is because the mayonnaise to go with the frites was from a package. If you wanted ketchup or mustard, also from a package. And once you squirted them out, if you didn't want to drizzle them over your frites (not my favorite thing), you had to hollow out a piece of bread to serve as your dipping bowl.The frites were of the strin...

After reading some great reviews about this place on TripAdvisor my parents and I decided to have dinner at Le Rocher: a lovely little mussel restaurant. Since we're from Holland we eat mussels quite frequently, but only with herbs and vegetables. When we arrived (around 7:30 PM) there were only two other couples dining, but around 8 PM the place was packed. We ordered two big (1 kilo) mussels with camembert and one big mussels with roquefort. Honestly.. best mussels I have ever tasted. We wanted to order fries on the side but our lovely waitress told us they were included. The menu also includes German and English translation, although the staff doesn't speak anything other than French. The...
