Cafe Rouge - Stratford Upon Avon

Well it would have been a 5 Star review from me, for presentation of the food and service from the lovely waiter. But.. and here comes the but: me and my partner had suddenly become seriously ill. I have only ever had food poisoning once before and this time it was worse. I shall not describe the gastrointernal problems we've suffered since leaving the cafe this afternoon. We had different things to eat before but shared the afternoon tea, which must have been the issue. Either the brownies, cake,scone or sandwiches were off because that's what we shared and I can not even make this up. I wasn't able to pick up my kids from school as I've sat on the toilet all afternoon and my partner had to ring an ambulance. I am still in so much pain but obviously have to stay home with the children. It would have been such a good day if that wouldn't have happened. Im really sorry for the bad review but I have no other option, the kitchen staff has to find the source of it and maybe need to be on top with dating eggs, milk, cakes etc. There was an elderly couple eating the same things I truly hope they won't be as bad as us. Please consider an investigation on this matter. Thanks a lot. And thanks to the lovely staff.

Great food and service. Would go again. Originating in London in 1989, Café Rouge now brings French-inspired cuisine to charming, Parisian-style restaurants across the UK. Combining a warm, inviting setting with classic French dishes, Café Rouge is the perfect restaurant for every occasion and time of day. Join us at your local Café Rouge bistro for a true taste of Paris, whatever the celebration

Amazing food! Both gave every course 10/10. Best meal we've had in ages! Highly recommend. Fantastic service too!

Nice old place on ones of the main streets. The food was good, but nothing memorable. The staff was ok, same as the food, nothing to make me come back there. There is no parking, same as most of the restaurants in that area.

Absolutely delicious, had the duck confit and a trio of mini deserts. Really enjoyed our meal, we don't live in the area but if we ever visit again we will definitely be back!!

Love the food and the decoration is teally great. Staff is really understanding recommended

Went here for a very pleasant dinner, haven’t been to a Cafe Rouge in a while and I must say I have missed out, the food was really good. It was all done very well and tasted amazing, my favourite has to be the Anna potatoes the desert was good, the lemon tarte is not to my liking but that more of a personal preference but the chocolate fondant was good just a bit over done. Service all in all was really good attentive and always checked back that everything was ok Would definitely recommend if you are down these ways

Called in on the off chance with friends and were able to get a table for four. My wife is gluten free and the menu is clear for anyone who has allergies. Staff as soon as we mentioned it went into their training of allergies. Food was excellent and tasty. Also clean and tidy toilets.Food: 5/5

I think the whole chain needs a revamp the restaurant was tatty and needs money spent on it. The food was poor with one steak returned and replaced by something equally inedible. Staff good, but they can only work with the tools they are given.

This was our first time at Cafe Rouge and it did not disappoint. The food, the service and the atmosphere were spot on and exactly what we were looking for. Wouldn't hesitate to return :-Food: 5/5
