"Café Rouge at 52 Low Petergate not only offers delicious food but also boasts a beautiful street-front facade that shines brightly at night through its large windows. My man and I visited at different meal times and I opted for coffee and a snack while he enjoyed the hearty boeuf bourguignon, which was filled with tender meat and fresh beans. While there may be better boeuf bourguignon in higher-end restaurants, the price and ambiance at Café Rouge on Low Petergate cannot be beaten. Despite being part of a chain, this location has a unique charm that is easy to forget. Additionally, there is a charming and cozy dining room in the back. Café Rouge can be found at 52 Low Petergate, York, YO1 7HZ, and can be reached at 44 1904 673293."

"We've been big fans of Cafe Rouge, Bath since it opened, and have always appreciated its lively atmosphere and friendly staff. Obviously it's not haute, haute cuisine but good, French style food without too many frills. Today we booked a table for two, as our kids had given us a voucher at Christmas and we thought a Saturday night treat was in order. We expected the place to be busy, but it wasn't; and we noticed customers being turned away even though it was early (before 8.00pm) apparently because of staff shortages. The staff were pleasant (as usual) but service was not particularly prompt. My partner's food was good quality (prawns for starters with moule for mains) but my French onion soup probably spent the day in a pot, and my sirloin steak (rare) was overly gristly, so I had to leave a sizeable amount. It almost feels disloyal to say this but we will think twice about returning. I hope the staffing shortages improve, and we return to the Cafe Rouge, Bath we once enjoyed."

"Came here for dinner with friends and it was a nice experience. Some of the dishes were superb such as scallops starter, but others were actually not quite as tasty as I’d want food in a restaurant to be. We tried the miso aubergine which for example in Sumosan Twiga is the most delicious side dish you can have, here however, it wasn’t very sweet neither crunchy from outside. The chicken with chickpeas was not really going together in my mouth. The chips with truffle and Parmesan were great. And beef carpaccio was a bit tasteless too. Anyway we still had a lovely experience just not a restaurant I’d return to for the food again."

"A chain with some character, Le Pain serves up great coffee and authentic French sweets and pastries and a mean brunch/breakfast option. I've stopped at Le Pain for coffee and croissants in the past, both of which are excellent at reasonable prices and accompanied by free wifi should you be interested. The real winner here though is the breakfast boards; there are a number to choose from but as an example you can opt for The Angler which arrives on a large wooden board and includes a boiled egg a very generous serving of smoked salmon with capers a wedge of baguette two slices of soft bread fresh cream cheese choice of croissant/pain au chocolat/pastry selection of jams choice of hot drink fresh orange juice granola parfait At just under 16 pounds this is a late breakfast option that will satisfy even the hungriest customer. It gets quite busy though, so don't expect much attention from the servers and you'll inevitably end up a few pieces of cutlery short. If you don't mind that it's worth a visit, and if suggest sharing a few boards between you as one per person is really far too much food!"

"Despite reduced guest numbers due to Covid we had a very good meal and the staff provided a friendly and efficient service. Cafe Rouge has always had a great menu and we especially enjoyed the mussels and beouf bourginon"

"My son had booked us for a breakfast prior to the visit to the National History Museum. Unfortunately, my verdic is not positive for the meal here. There was not much matching on the menu for what I'd like to have breakfast so I requested,some green salad,grilled feta,olive,fried eggs and avocado and toast... What turned out to be was peanut size salad that was all dried up ,no Hallomee, no olives 2 post stamp size fried eggs in a large serving plate and 2 peanut size toast... We paid some some £68. Very disappointed and I do not recommend this restaurant."

"We made a reservation, which was a smart decision considering how busy the restaurant was. We were seated at a booth table, which wasn't ideal for me because I'm short and couldn't easily move around the velvety material on the seat. The foot rest under the seat made it even more uncomfortable. Luckily, a staff member noticed and kindly moved us to a more suitable table. The food we ordered, including the margarita pizza, was delicious and arrived quickly. However, I didn't care for the dim lighting, which didn't enhance the ambiance. The restaurant was bustling and noisy, so if you're looking for a quiet, relaxing meal with friends, this may not be the best choice. The dim lighting can be seen in the pictures of the restaurant."

"Came here for something to eat/anniversary dinner before going to Sadler's Wells.....normally we go to The Gate further down towards the Theatre but its closed so we needed a new venue without just walking around. I found this on line. This was perfect.....The main courses...of Steak and Muscles we had were perfectly cooked as was the location and the staff.....especially the staff. However....the best bit was the Banoffee and Ice cream desert......just perfect and lovely....Make sure you have space for desert....I think during the day they will do lots of deserts with a cup of tea as these are all at the front of the Restaurant. There are a lot of places in this area...In our experience if you chose the F&O you will have a great meal, in a great location. Thank you for starting our evening off in a perfect way....And the Nutcracker at SW was great as well."

"Very disappointed with one turkey dinner (lots of gristle) and bill did not deduct deposit I had paid previously -this should have been done automatically it was only because I checked that it came to light. Please get this sorted out. A bad mistake!"

"Well what can I say, there were only two other couples total 4 people) in the café, both had been served a little while ago as they had finished their meals. Were were told when we came in find a table as we will be doing table service today. I scanned in NHS app, did the hand gel bit told to find a table. So far so good, sat down at table and waited and waited, and waited, one staff member fussing in the serving area, the waitress who showed us in eventually disappeared out the back we think to talk to her friend. We waited, and waited etc. etc. etc we even tried to get the attention of the waitress still fussing in the serving area really not doing much at all, and even she went out the back, we waited for a further period, even the other two couples kept looking, so after some time we simply walked out and went to a café that wanted our custom. We would not have minded if they were busy, but they were not. Absolute disgusting service (well if we had any). At a time where restaurants etc need the custom this Waterfront café obviously does not. We go to Portsmouth a lot, needless to say we will not be using the Waterfront Café ever again, we will also tell our family and friends to avoid."

"Wandering around Soho we walked by Le Pain and decided to give it a try looks nice from the outside with all these bread put forward on display. Ordered some house Chardonney with olives to start with and then Pizzetta, Organic Lentil Avocado Salad and Prosciutto with Mozzarella on toast. All really good. House wine excellent for house wine category, olives with some spicy flavour, salad was fairly reach (variety of veggies inside), ham was tasty and only pizzetta could have been, perhaps, a bit warmer... Staff really nice and knowledgable about the menu, their advice should be highly appreciated. They're good. Overall recommended, really. Would have been 5 if it wasn't for this...read more"

"dear diary, this time our trip to england was a mix of work and vacation. at many days we had to hurry for meeting in various cities and had to get the trains and because we are so punctual (not), we had hardly any time to eat before we arrived in the train. that is when we arrived at the railway station leon over leon and then realized that they have a chain of restaurants throughout the city. her motto is a healthy almost food and they live totally on it. for the breakfast menu, their bacon egg rolls are the most delicious! and for their daily menu they have a whole series of salads and hot crates. we had the chargrilled chicken chilli hot box, Moroccan meatballs hotbox and the chicken and chorizo club hotbox- all these were super delish! So if they are the next time on the go, they know where they are going!"

"This was my third visit and I loved it. They have the best brunch menu with breakfast and lunch choices and the waiters top your prosecco glass up very frequently! The service is great. Also, I love that it’s three courses as you feel it is good value for money and like a proper meal. One tip-lose the blue macaroon! :o)"

"we were very excited to try this new place that seemed so inviting from the road, they sat us immediately and we were one of only a few parties there. but because we were some of the only people in the restaurant, we got our first round of drinks not up to halfway through our main course (after a full round of appetizers) and we were not even offered water in the meantime and I could not get anyone the attention to ask for it. because we have so few people in the restaurant, we were clearly ignored for the great Christmas party that we could hear in the ground floor room that had sent tablet by drinks to them before our three cocktails arrived after minutes. When they finally arrived, the drinks were very good, but they don't wait. the food was usually delicious, the bisque caabe appetizer and croquettes were great, and for the pornstar we all had the plate of the day, a slowly baked bark dish that was delicious. everything was good again until dessert when the cream robe we were served, oil was pooled into the floor and seemed to separate, I tried to eat it, but it was really not edible. Overall, it was a very disappointing night, and it should be a graduation party that I mentioned in our reservation and was not mentioned or recognized at all. we will probably not return."

"on entrance its so grand, it appears to be quite posh but its just a wonderful environment to enjoy great food and cake! we had an afternoon tea for two. The food was delicious. so well presented and appetising . we had some lovely strong tea. option to have two pots of tea or have a pot of tea and pot with hot water to dilute etc. the cakes are very well presented and look delicious! id love to try them all! Assistant manager could not be more helpful, kind and approachable. We had a nice little chat about the caffe and her role. We spoke about the food options and why we travelled so far for a nice treat with them. We felt really at ease. i was shocked at the small toilet thats quite dated and untidy. there are a couple of new members of staff that obviously have no experience and quite young so can be a little irritating dropping cutlery, shouting across the room, dismissive attitude, not much customer service going on etc but hopefully these people will learn on the job and soon be super staff members just like the assistant managers techniques! we will be visiting again!"

"You have the option to choose between almond or oat milk for your coffee, which is great. The vegan chocolate cakes were absolutely delicious, and their blueberry muffins were also vegan. There were so many hearty vegan options available, like curry and tartines. I will definitely return for more vegan coffee and cakes!"

"A group of 5 of us had early dinner prior to attending the boxing at the Millennium Stadium. The staff are always very friendly and efficient and we were seated immediately as we had booked in advance. The only concern was that my fillet steak was not as requested, it was medium to well done instead of medium rare. This was rectified but the others had finished eating their main course by the time mine arrived. My steak was perfectly cooked and everything else was freshly served too. The manager came to say that there would be no charge for the steak and also we were given a free bottle of the excellent Rioja Crianza. I was very impressed by the no quibble promptness which left a very good impression on us all. Thank you."

"just an occasional Saturday evening out, but we were made warmly welcome. Service was excellent and the food tasty and as described. We really enjoyed our cocktails and did not feel rushed as the food came at reasonable intervals. Thoroughly recommend this restaurant. It's also really nice to be able to use Tesco points don't feel we have to economise on the drinks when the food is paid for with vouchers and it was so easy to organise."

"The food was great and we loved the taste of the Masala chai tea. However, it took over 30 minutes before our order was taken and other 30 minutes before our afternoon tea was served for us two. Other places Where I’ve had Afternoon tea, it has been served in less than 15 minutes since the variety is usually assembled of the selection of that day."
