Café Rouge - Exeter

Creme brulie fab love all food

The interior decor is very nice. The staff were attentive and very pleasant. The menu seemed reasonably varied but........when the food arrived it appeared thrown onto the plates, so nil for presentation. Portion control was also very apparent when we looked onto our plates with half filed containers of gravy for the duck and half filled pot of minted peas for the hake. The dauphinoise potato was a dry square cake and the french fries tasteless. Neither dish from the al acarte menue were good value. I think the restaurant leads on 2 courses for a discount price and certainly most people seemed to be ordering from that menu but it didn't great either.

Friendly, efficient, attentive staff.
Very impressed by member of staff who noticed I hadn't been given the means to freshen up my fingers while I was enjoying my bouillabaisse and brought iced lemon water unprompted.
My crab and avocado starter and main course of bouillabaisse were excellent.
Having lunch in Cafe Rouge was the highlight of a lovely day out.

Slow service, staff didn't check alll was ok with meal whilst we were eating , mean portions , very disappointing.

Chaotic service. Eventually got meal. Obviously hurriedly cooked. Left most of it. Not charged for meal. What is so complicated. Visit this restaurant regularly but now wont bother.

i had work Xhirstmas meal here a week ago and enjoyed it so decided to treat my wife to a meal on our own. Tables too close to each other for comfort or privacy.

First time we've booked, excellent, worked a treat and saved a lot of time. Also very good service on what was a busy day. The was up to the standard we wanted and we will come again. We will also use the booking service more often.

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, quick service and good food!

Excellent food, but restaurant very warm.

Really good experience. Booked on line - worked well. Restaurant was well placed for car parking. Food and service was excellent, and there was a lively " buzz " in the restaurant which we really like. No problems in recommending this venue to anyone. We have found that this high standard is consistent across the Cafe Rouge chain of restaurants. Prices are creeping up, ( as they are everywhere ), but we cashed in some Tesco Clubcard vouchers and using their fantastic boost offer did really well.
