Restaurant description
In Edinburgh city centre, Café Rouge is housed in a grand building and offers a charming French dining experience. There is a popular outside seating area for al fresco dining.
As part of the nationwide group of Café Rouge restaurants, this branch offers their range of classic French dishes such as confit duck, beef bourguignon, steak frites and mussels. Smaller dishes are also on offer for a lighter bite. Particularly good value for money are the set menus for lunch and dinner (available most days). To accompany the food there is also a good range of French wines, many from less well known producers.
In true French style, breakfast is also an important meal at Café Rouge. With croissants, pain au chocolat, omelettes and croques, as well as hot chocolate, tea and all types of coffees, it makes a great start to the day.
The Scottish National Portrait Gallery and Princess Street Gardens are within easy reach of Café Rouge in Edinburgh. Edinburgh Rail Station is a 12-minute walk away.

We chose the Valentine's menu, which had 4 choices for each of the 3 courses and both of us felt that this was good, especially for the set price and the glass of proseco. The service and food were excellent, just the right timings between each course from a very attentive server.

Very nice restaurant with French decor. Staff are welcoming and helpful. No problem to change accompaniments to lunch. I've eaten here quite a few times now and have never been disappointed. Good sized portions and nicely presented. They even served my friend's beer in a pretty glass when she asked!
