Campanile Rouen Nord Restaurant

Average food! only ate here because the Kyriad Hotel restaurant was closed on Sunday. Not a lot else to say about this restaurant

We did not sleep here we just ate here. We didn't stay the night although it is slightly cheaper than the Kyriad, but we could feel the vibration of the traffic in the carpark and as we sat in the restaurant when we first came in. I also found the carpark cramped and small. There was not a huge choice on the menu but they do have a buffet style starter which we would go for more at lunch time as it was salad orientated, we chose steak and chips and green beans (tinned again) which was excellent, I had braised beef with chorizo, and a mountain of chips I couldn't taste the chorizo but I did get a strong paprika flavour but it was good if rather small in portion size compared to the pile o fpiping hot chips. My partner didn't like the wine but I did. But we hve a different palate though we did have different glasses of wine each. The dessert buffet was excellent with I would guess at about 20 different tiny desserts. I had six. They were tiny! they were now! well all but the lemon fondant cake and I didn't have it. I had 2 thin slices of fig tart, a tiny quince puff, a miniscule rhum baba thimble, a profiterole with pistachio, a funny tastuing chocolate ball, I forgot the other two but the fig tart was the best, with créme anglaise. My partner had a panacotta. As she is sensible. 2 hot expressos which we had to wait a but for. The young waitress was really nice and speaks English The restaurant is spotless as are the loos, it had less atmosphere than the Kyriad I don't know why, maybe it was the high stools at a long table down the middle which tended to domiinate and the gobby posers who sat there. Posing. But we would eat there again.

3 of us were staying overnight at the nearby Kyraid Hotel but the hotel restaurant was closed so we headed off to the Campanile. The service was poor, with a waitress who gave the impression that we were somehow inconveniencing her. Unfortunately the food couldn't lift our spirits either, the steak was awful and very fatty. Without doubt the worst restaurant we found while in France.

Plenty of food... get the buffet to try a variety of foods. I'd recommend getting the station buffet and adding dessert if you are still hungry. Good taste of French culture. (Soup, sea snake, ham, cheeses, pasta, and more)

Modern clean restaurant with friendly staff and good service. We had a very enjoyable meal with a good selection on the usual Campanile buffet and also a good selection of main courses. The only gripe we have, is why does the Campanile group always insist on serving the very hard type of bread rolls, when France makes some of the best bread in Europe.
