"Good food but awful service. We were sat down, then left alone for few minutes without menu, water or anything. Then we got the menu but still no water. Another couple was sat down nearby and they got served way before us, having had two waitresses serving them whereas they weren't bothered about us. When I wanted to pay, she put the bill on the table and went off, didn't come back for minutes and when we started looking for her, she was just laughing and flirting with the manager Didn't even apologise for having us wait. Seriously, for such a fancy looking place, the lack of any good service is very alarming."

It's ok. Mediocre food at best. Slow and sloppy service at worst. They changed shifts and forgot us.

What a delicious breakfast. We even came back for lunch and it was good too. The staff were fantastic. Thanks

Cafe Rouge was not my first choice on a Saturday night - the restaurant where I wanted to eat was fully booked and it was time for plan B. View menu

Catching up on an a review of an early morning breakfast in Edinburgh, back in August of this year. As just mentioned, this was an early morning stop...

We ended up going twice during Hogmanay, as a number of restaurants were surprisingly closed. The first time was good; we all ordered almost the identical...

The menu is okay, but the service is mediocre. The cafe is a bit off the main roads, so quite quiet. There's a lot of seating inside and some direct outside... View menu

Advice for the person running this mcdonalds style food chain: If you're serving poor quality food don't train your staff to ask of the food is ok every five minutes. That's just rubbing it in.

The food was OK but quite expensive for what it was. At least you can buy a pint of lager rather than the very expensive bottled beer. Waiting staff were great but bloke with the beard who greeted' us didn't crack a smile once in the minutes we were there. If you don't like people, maybe don't get a job in the travel and tourism industry!
