Café Rouge - Edinburgh

AVOID! AVOID! AVOID! The food was very poor, we had to return our mains to the kitchen(at this point I even apologised to the waitress, saying that I knew it was not her fault and that I was very sorry but we could not eat these meals) . The replacements were not much better and our waitress became bad tempered and sullen, practically throwing our bank card on the table after we paid. No apologies were made for us having to return food to the kitchen and although the manageress was in the restaurant she did not approach us, she made no effort to apologise to us and merely avoided our general area. We will never use this restaurant again.

The staff were friendly and attentive. My wife and I enjoyed our lunch.

Great french onion soup. Ordered the rib eye steak but the steak that arrived looked more like sirloin. It was cooked as ordered but I would have liked a real juicy ribeye. The house red was not available but a substitute was provided.

Really nice setting, good food excellent staff

The quality of food was good but the dine-in is not as suitable for families. Despite the deal it costed £65 with gratuity and no dessert incl drinks, the portion sizes are very small. We left the place feeling hungry.

Lovely room, good ambience, quite busy and buzzy. Considerate towards a diner eating alone - give table towards side of the room, not marooned in the middle as so often happens. Reliable fare, as always, good value fixed price £11.95 two courses. Service perhaps a litte slow, but I wasn't in a hurrry so didn't matter.

Not impressed by the food. We topk from the 2 for £10.95 menu and all had the Chicken Chasuer- it was fill of bones and came with so much sauce the potatoes were floating in it. They even gave us spoons to eat it with. Have been here before many times but think will be giving it a miss in the future.

The food was okay, service was pretty bad. The lady at the next table was served a cold plate of food that she did not ask for, our olives took ages? why i have no idea and getting the bill took twenty minutes. I have been to cafe rouge before and it was lovely, this time not so much which puts me off going back.

Despite booking the lunch special with you, we had to ask for the lunch menu. The food was ok, but my husband was not impressed with the quality of the steak. It was very busy and service was rather slow, although the staff were very friendly.

Lovely friendly staff and atmosphere
