Cafe Rouge York Low Petergate

Besides eating, the best of cafe rouge at 52 low petergate, is their street front fassade. especially in the night when light and warm shine through these large windows. a look and they want to be part of what goes inside. sometimes my man and I come to different meal times. that was one of those times. he was ready for a hearty meal and I wanted nothing but coffee and a snack. his boeuf bourguignon was beautiful. fender meat and much of it.

The starters arrived with moldy lettuce, the mains were cold but tasty. The potato gratin was burnt and a replacement was brought after we had finished. It took 45 minutes for our drinks to be served and the service was terrible.

We used our Tesco vouchers to dine at this restaurant, which was fine. However, I would hesitate to pay the full, quite high prices for the standard and quantity of food offered. The staff and service were good, and the location was nice for viewing Christmas ice sculptures, which is why we made a reservation.

We were in York with my Mother in Law who is 88, and we wanted a restaurant that would offer a wide choice. We've eaten at Cafe Rouge before and haven't been disappointed and we certainly weren't this time either. Friendly, welcoming staff (particuarly our waiter who my mother in law was very taken with), and tasty food promptly served. They were very busy and I'm glad we'd booked a table, but we didn't feel rushed in any way, and the staff managed to meet all the demands of a busy restaurant and still have time for a bit of banter. I've no hesitation in recommending this restaurant.
