"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 before taking on a long day of seeing the sites and touring Edinburgh Castle(which was incredibly amazing!! . Cafe Rouge is a nice touch of Frances in the downtown area of Edinburgh. The ambience is bright and quite cheerful. I enjoyed a traditional breakfast of scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, tomato, mushrooms and a side oh baked beans perfect! The coffee is amazing fresh and served piping hot the way it should be. The service was very good, didn't notice our server much, but she had everything covered well done. Great way to start a busy day. Definitely a must do if you are in the area!"

Fred
It was very noisy inside and we were able to sit outside. The food was very good, the steak was done to perfection. I would recommend people to go there if you like fine French cuisine

This beautiful french cafè is a lovely place to spend a few hours on a cold sunday morning. The place is spacious, bright and warm. The food is ok, but i was a little disappointed by the fries, not as good as the traditional scottish ones. Don't miss the tarte tarino with icecream, it's the best I have found in town!
Simone
it is good for lunch or breakfast. French design on menu and whole location. I was in two weeks. for the first time service and eating bad, for the second time our waiters were really nice and my eating was really good. I had wobble soup and crispy as in frankly in a brasserie. I would try again. I'm glad I went back for the second time, otherwise I would have a bad experience.

I absolutely adore this restaurant. I have been a frequent visitor at this place located in the south. The staff is extremely friendly and efficient, and the fries are always fresh and delicious. The service is quick and attentive, with staff offering suggestions on what to drink and providing small tastings. They go above and beyond to ensure that customers get exactly what they desire.

I have been passing by this restaurant for years and always wanted to try their menu. Finally, I got the chance on Monday for breakfast. They had a great deal for a hot drink and juice that cost less than ten pounds. I had the smoothie, my partner had eggs on toast, and his was speck and eggs on toast, with perfectly runny poached eggs. I love the fact that there is a lot of outdoor seating, perfect for people-watching!

We both ordered the fillet steak, expecting it to be cooked to our usual preference. However, when they arrived, they were both tough and overcooked. We are not the type to complain, but when you order a premium cut of meat, you expect it to be tender. We sent the steaks back and requested to speak to the manager. When he came over, he dismissively stated that he saw no issue with them and implied we were mistaken. We found his attitude rude and lacking in customer service. As a result, we opted for a different dish, as it was evident the chef did not know how to properly cook a steak. We were one of the last customers in the restaurant when we eventually left.

French food is one of my favourites and Cafe Rouge, regardless which one you go to, always does a great job. This particular branch is a large space with lovely decor and plenty of seating. It can get quite busy during the weekend and if you are larger party you may be required to wait for a while. The food is delicious and fresh, and there is plenty of choice. I like to go for the full deal; a starter (the chicken pate), a main (either the Paysenne salad or a steak) and dessert (either the cheese board or Creme Brulee) and to top it off with a glass of red wine. However, if you like to avoid chains and are looking for something a little more unique and authentic, head...read more
