Café Rouge - Portsmouth

Great seaside location - efficient service - excellent food and drink choices.

Staff very efficient booking and special requirements were known and catered for . On arrival Staff very friendly well prepared and provided an excellent service. Menu was varied with new dishes available and quality , quantity and value for money was excellent.Staff catered very efficiently with our large party and subsequent Birthday celebration was enjoyed by all.

The staff were very friendly, helpful and patient. The food was well cooked and attractively presented.
as I do not like sea food of any type, the choices for me were limited, but for a less fussy eater I imagine it provided a wide choice.
I felt the steaks were rather expensive, which probably indicates that I| do not get out enough!

Excellent as usual

Had Lamb Cassoulet. Lamb was raw rather than just pink. We dine here regularly, but that lamb was disappointing. Otherwise usual happy experience.

I booked a table on line and accepted their special offer of a three course special valentine meal and wrote in the "Special comment" box, that I hoped it was alright to use my Tesco vouchers as part payment for the meal.! Arrived at the restaurant and our table was reserved for us (so they DID get the email) after the meal we were then told we could not pay for the meal by the vouchers and instead had to find fifity five pounds in cash (by the way, dislike the marketing ploy, when they ask if you would like water with your meal, and then charge you nearly five quid for it, which we were not aware of till the bill came!) anyway....We complained to the manager about the vouchers not being accepted for our meal when we had asked them in writing, and he said he could ring up the meal as separate items if we wanted to use the vouchers....we were very angry about this but as we WILL NEVER enter a care rouge again we took up his offer to use the vouchers. Rung up separately the bill came to nearly ninety pounds...Fifty pounds of vouchers and forty quid on the credit card (we did not have enough cash to cover the bill). we were embarrassed and very cross, and what was more by the time the manager had sorted out a new bill we were late for the cinema and had missed the start of the film....NOT a Happy valentines treat out!, ...waitress was sweet and the steak was nice, but tthe day ruined.

Had a lovely dinner last night with work colleagues. The staff were very friendly and smiled a lot, we were made to feel very welcome and nothing was too much work. The food was of a good standard and there was a wide selection of drinks for everyone to choose from. Will recommend to others.

Best features was the superb service. Thoughtful, helpful and attentive. The food was fabulous too. My husband had a burger and I had the beef bourguignon, delicious! And good value for money. They were great with the children and nothing seemed too much trouble.

First vist lovely food & relaxed atmosphere

We had made a booking for lunch for the Groupon steak frites deal for two, we were shown straight to our table and brought wine and water within minutes of arriving. Our meal took a little longer (but the restaurant was very busy), but every bit was really tasty, it was lovely and hot, an excellent deal. The staff were all lovely and very professional.
