Cafe Rouge Reigate

Cafe Rouge has become pricey for a casual gathering. The smaller, yet intriguing menu is now only available before 5pm, limiting choices. The wine is expensive and the Reigate branch seems to be cutting costs on heating, as it was cold at 7pm and got even colder as the evening went on. Despite meeting here for many years, we have decided to find a new spot for our next get together. It's a shame, as it is a charming venue with easy parking on the street. Overall, it is a nice place to meet, but recent changes have made it less appealing.

A lovely venue for lunch when meeting friends for a good catch up

I had a great evening with friends at this restaurant. Unfortunately, they did not have any record of my reservation. Thankfully, it was not very busy so it did not end up being a problem.

The waitress seemed quite helpful when we first arrived but she was very short with my mum when she asked a question, took ages to come back and take our food order after we had ordered drinks and was generally unavailable during our time there this was quite upsetting as it was my daughter's 6th birthday so a special occasion and there were 11 of us there; the restaurant wasn't even busy (there were only about 6 other tables occupied) I found this very unusual for this place, normally really good service (in fact, I went with my daughter the week before which is why she chose that place for her Birthday meal)

Delicious authentic French food. Despite being more of a restaurant than a café, the staff have a very personable, welcoming patter with customers, which does give the feel of a more intimate venue. The Poulet Breton, Boeuf Bourguignon and cheese board were stunning. :-D. Good to see the immaculately turned out Head Chef getting amongst it and mopping the floor in the kitchen, too!
