We've been to Café Rouge many times. There isn't a particular branch we visit, we just visit them sometimes whenever we're on a day out. They are located all over the country in many locations. The reason we visit normally is because I love their Salmon Fishcakes dish and we sometimes have vouchers for 2 for 1 mains or 50% off the total bill. I'd like to review the restaurant in general and things I've noticed in our visits. The Layout Café Rouge restaurants all look similar - they are French in style, very much like I'd expect a Paris café to look like. Their theme is in red and cream - dark wooden tables and seats for the main part. There is an issue ...  Read the complete review

Very poor service. The food arrived before there were drinks or cutlery on the table! We ordered Salade Nicoise au Thon (tuna). It arrived with no tuna or anchovies! Sent it back and when it came back there was still no tuna. Spoke to manageress who told me a Cafe Rouge Salad Nicoise with Tuna does not have tuna in it ! What a joke. We walked out without paying....don't go there!I then left feedback on their website and was told there was a fault on the menu. So why didnt they tell their staff or withdraw the menu? I was offered a derisory £15-00 coupon.

I've recently visited Cafe Rouge at Manchester Printworks for the second time. The first time that I visited we had a 2 for £12 voucher, while on our second visit we had a Tesco voucher giving us 40% off the food. The Resteraunt: Cafe Rouge is a chain of resteraunts which are in a faux french style, with french backing music. The resteraunt is reasonably small downstairs, with the tables very close together. As you walk in the room is dominated by a large but pretty staircase and a very dark bar area. The Food: With the 2 for £12 voucher we were mainly restrict to the Plats Rapides menu, which typically features meals ...  Read the complete review

I have always liked the food at Cafe Rouge but every time I have been, and this is always to different locations, thje service has been hurrendous. The first time I dined at Cafe Rouge was at the Trafford Centre. it was for lunch and I had the Tartine à la Grecque ( an open sandwich of warm feta cheese, baby plum tomatoes, grilled courgettes, green beans and Niçoise olives with flame-roasted red pepper tapenade on grilled sourdough bread) and my mum had the Croque Monsieur (a croque of ham & melted Gruyère cheese with French fries and a salad garnish) and it was gorgeous. Brilliant food. But, and it is a big but....we waited for literally forty five minutes for ...  Read the complete review

Cafe Rouge is a national chain of French styled restaurants. There are currently over 100 sites. The chain is owned and operated by Tragus ltd, which also owns Strada and Bella Italia. The chain serves food all day, including main meals, lighter bites, salads and the express menu, or Plats Rapides. My local one is on James Street in London, a lovely little road just off Oxford Street and close to Selfridges which houses a variety of restaurants, both chain and individual ones. I am reviewing this as a place to go for a quick lunch, not as a restaurant I would choose to go for a slap up evening meal - there are much nicer places out there. I try to ...  Read the complete review
