Nice place with delicious food but I like the old one in Cardiff bay more due to the location. But it's worthwhile getting food in this restaurant.

Hadnt been to a cafe rouge for years but its changed for the better. Food was a bit simple and presentation was not great but all in all it was ok? Brasserie Blanc and Bistrot Pierre are better choices but cafe rouge was just ok. Would give it another go. Service was great though

Booked a meal at Cardiff St David’s but was told when we arrived that they were not accepting Tesco Vouchers due to the Billy Joel concert being on. It was too late to book anywhere else so had to pay full price to avoid disappointing my family. Complete opportunism and exploitation from Cafe Rouge. Discounts shouldn’t change just because there is an event on….

If you ever need a good , solid , good quality option for a lunch or supper then Cafe Rouge will always delight. When I come across a Cafe Rouge it’s like meeting a long lost cousin again. You always know it will be a fantastic meal, and this was no exception. We were in Cardiff for our son’s graduation, had a light lunch composing of a few starters and a couple of round of drinks . Food, sublime , service , chilled but impeccable, many a place could take a leaf out of Cafe rouge’s attitude to appreciating good food and how to serve it. Well done #teamCaferougeCardiff Top marks Geraint

Myself and my wife came here for an afternoon tea (a freebie giveaway via my bank) There are 3 different afternoon tea options a parisian one of french fancies, a traditional one which comes with 2 croque monsieur (like ham and cheese toasties) and 2 croque champingon (cheese mushroom and spinach toasties) a few cakes and a scone with clotted cream and jam, and a charcuterie one which is a whole camembert with baguette pieces and cold meat selection we had the traditional one....they all come with unlimited hot drink refill or a sub fee for prosecco prices range from 13.99 to 20.99 per person The traditional one was absolutely superb, I had the croque monsieur and wife had the croque champignon we both enjoyed those, the fruit scone is warm and the cream and jam were perfect for them, a toffee chocolate minature cake, almond miniature cake and a jelly bean mini cake completed the set (each person gets set of the same) all of which were very tasty The blonde waitress who served us (including 2 hot chocolate refills) was very polite, friendly and attentive throughout our setting I would highly recommend this place

My Ceaser salad was very good. The Mrs Demi Poulet though not so much, devoid of imagination and any sort of garnish it literally was what it says in the menu, half a Chicken and chips, one of the most uninspiring plates of food ever put in front of her, no garnish, salad or veg just a theatre of beige. Undecided about the creme brulé, it sort of was ok I guess, The staff were excellent though and happy to help with any requests.

We visited this restaurant for the first time last week, and i wasn't sure what to expect as we had never thought of this place, but booked a table as we were having a night out together as these occasions are quite rare, so we decided on Café Rouge. Upon arrival, first impressions, friendly, clean, lovely ambience, and the gent (i presume the manager) who checked us in and got our booking details, was so so helpful, so chilled, and super friendly. We went to our table on the inside, and it felt i had been sent back to Paris - it was really authentic. The waitress - absolutely amazing again, super friendly, helpful when looking at a menu, gave opinions without being pushy - they let us take our time, and when we decided what we were eating - my goodness we were super impressed - the food was delicious, the wine was delicious, and the whole night was perfect for us - we cannot wait to go back!! Perfect for anyone, because the choice of food was amazing - and i really was impressed - the calamari and mussels were out of this world - definite favourite!! i asked if they do a childrens menu, and explained our daughter has autism, and the guy (i presume the manager) was so helpful saying they will help with anything to give her a great night - to be honest - this gives a lot of restaurants a run for their money - the staff were amazing, and the food - first class!! cannot wait to go back - and PS the mussels were better than any i have had around the med!!

10/10 experience. The staff were lovely and welcoming during our visit. I highly recommend their garlic bread - hands down one of the nicest garlic breads I've had and that's saying something! Their mocktails were incredible, good value for money as they were a lot bigger than expected. The chicken was alright, it was fairly bland even with the gravy-type sauce that it comes with. It could have done with some veggies. Overall great experience and I'd recommend them if you're looking for a place to eat in St David's II.

In all the time we have been to ST David's centre we never even thought to eat here .. I personally cant really recommend anywhere as of late its all gone downhill as far a standards are concerned. I wont mention names however some of the well recommended places to eat in Cardiff should take a look at their toilets as I always visit these first prior to ordering food as if they are grubby its a big no from me and i leave. Not on this occasion.. What a place ..Fantastic welcome from Magdalene aka Maggi and the service was extra phenomenal .. Don't know if he is the owner or manager however Matt really does know how to look after customers..Being in Retail myself he is tops ..Nothing to much trouble and all the staff smile ..Its rare ! Food 10/10 Service 10/10/ Cleanliness' 10/10 Atmosphere 10/10 Price and value 10/10 We are both looking forward to eating there again ..Its the best Thankyou Maggi & Matt.

Great food, as always. Our waitress was unsure about the use of a taste card on their lunch items. I explained that we had used it multiple times on the lunch items but not the set menu pricing. The waitress made a deal of the situation and said we could see if it worked at the end as she did not think it would work. I asked her to check first, and as it had before worked fine. She didn't seem to be happy about being wrong. This made the situation feel a little awkward. However, the French onion soup and Croque Madame were fantastic.

Great atmosphere and great wine selection, fondue itself was lovely but let down by the bread. We'll definitely be going again, but a baked French bread or something a little nicer than what appears to be chopped up Hovis would make this 5*
