Gill

Description

Summary: A cozy spot for traditional yet modern Norman fare.

Gill, nestled in the heart of Rouen, France, serves up a delightful mix of traditional and contemporary Norman cuisine in an atmosphere that balances modernity with a touch of the past. The restaurant continues to impress with its classic dishes like hare à la royale and pigeon à la rouennaise, as well as its famed millefeuille for dessert. While the chef returned his stars and toques in 2020, the quality of the food remains unchanged, with the menu featuring both beloved staples and pleasant surprises, such as a stunning langoustine carpaccio with bisque in jelly. The loyal Sylvain Nouin, back from the 37, contributes to the great Gill experience. Despite peripheral changes, including the sale of 37 and La Place and the success of Café Hamlet, the restaurant's restructuring has allowed it to look to the future. The relaxed and happy chef, supported by Sylvie Tournadre's occasional visits and a solid team, ensures that clients leave delighted. The fluidity of the experience extends to the dishes, with standouts like the delicious vegetable tart with truffle vinaigrette and the perfectly cooked, simple yet effective turbot with cider. Desserts like the soufflé and all-chocolate plate round out the meal splendidly. The well-stocked wine cellar, passionately curated by the engaging and knowledgeable Franck Barbay, adds to the charm of this renowned establishment. Gill's commitment to culinary excellence is evident in every dish, making it a reliable choice for anyone seeking a high-end dining experience with the flavors of Normandy.
