Cafe Rouge Cardiff St Davids II in Cardiff

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.

Had lunch here today with my husband. Perfect ambience, tasty food and a perfect bottle of Chardonnay, looking forward to next visit.

Hood food, service etc. Typical of a chain restaurant in a shopping centre

Food was good and service was also good. You can't really rate the atmosphere as this is a chain venue in a shopping centre. Good value though with friendly staff

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

It was an excellent breakfast, the food was delicious and the service was superb, I definitely intend to go again! I can definitely recommend the French Toast and coffee.

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….

Exceptional service, great food. Brought family who hadn’t visited before, I had. They were very impressed with the whole experience

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

The restaurant is top-notch, providing impeccable service and a wonderfully welcoming atmosphere. Every visit is a genuine pleasure.

What a hidden surprise! This beautiful restaurant is hidden away in a large shopping centre. Beautiful decor and substantial menu. Very friendly and efficient service. Food was lovely, coffee some of the best around. Prices sensible. Highly recommend.

Loved the mussels, great service, well done.

Nice to find a Cafe Rouge still open. Always was a favourite and this branch was excellent with great service amd food.

Excellent meal and good value. Food was delicious and portions were large. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive whilst not rushing us. It's location was great too as we were going to a show in the arena across the road. All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable experience and would highly recommend to others.

Went for breakfast ,had eggs benedict, hubby had scrambled egg on toast side order of bacon he thoroughly enjoyed it was really all very tasty our waitress was great.

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

A very pleasant meal while staying in Cardiff for a few days. 5 highly satisfied

Friendly welcome, great service and great food.

Lovely spot for a break from shopping.

A lovely breakfast. It was a lovely coffee, too.

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.

Beautiful little cafe with the best food and service.

Me and a friend stopped in for lunch and were not disappointed. Staff were great, even told us about an offer we didnt know about to get our meal discontinued. They checked on us throughout our visit we weren't disappointed!

For what we had, I could not understand how they charge So much.

Iwona was great and the food was really good. Definitely I'll recommend it to everyone to come.

Iwona was amazing! I went today morning with a friend and we had such a lovely breakfast here, and the service was perfect!

My partner and I had a lovely meal here. The food was excellent and the staff were very helpful, efficient and friendly. It was easy to find a meal that was both vegetarian and gluten free for my partner's special diet. The price was reasonable and we found the venue to be comfortable and cosy. We will definitely return and recommend this place to our family and friends.

Really good food,but too posh for me lol

This Cafe is awesome, the coffee is delicious and the service was fast, the French toast was delicious as well, definitely worth the price!

Very good food and friendly service. My wife and I had the French onion soup to start and the beef bourguignon as a main. The food was lovely.

Excellent food and service. Great value. Would highly recommend a visit. Been twice now and would definitely return. Thank you.

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!!

Lovely healthy late breakfast and lovely coffee

Lovely experience, food, service and staff excellent. Really enjoyed.

Lovely lunch today at Cafe Rouge. We both had the half roast chicken marinated in garlic & herbs and fries. Chicken was served lovely & crispy just the way I love it. Staff were friendly and helpful and the 50% discount off the mains was a bonus.

Very lovely cafe with extremely friendly and helpful staff.

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.

Popped in for an evening meal. The service was excellent, very friendly and attentive. The food was amazing, well presented and very tasty. I would recommend to anyone.

Visited for early dinner on a Thursday evening and the restaurant was fairly busy. Good menu choices. We enjoyed a flat bread plus a salmon pate. We took advantage of the 50% offer on mains. Friendly staff

Nice set menu and friendly service

Warm inviting restaurant and staff are always friendly

Great place to start your shopping adventure in St David's!

Are angajați respectuoși merita sa mergeți

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.

Didn't enjoy the coffee. Wouldn't go again. Can't beat Costa.

Great Friendly staff, seated quickly food was prompt and delicious!

Had lunch with wife on a shopping trip. Service and staff were faultless. Quickly seated and order taken. No sooner had our drinks arrived our food was quickly served. Lovely food at very reasonable prices. Wife particularly enjoyed the passionfruit martini. Desserts were well portioned too. Staff friendly and efficient.

Breakfast was ideal here, quick service, clean toilets upstairs.

A bit busy and crowded, but it is in a shopping centre, not a place to visit for ambience during shopping hours. It is nice enough pretty good food, correctly cooked. Not very cheap, but it isn't a McDonald's.

Had lunch here quite a few times. Delicious food. Not very expensive.

The host clearly was nothing but a racist. They were quite a lot of tables present and he was not welcoming at all. We went to the bar right opposite to Frankie’s and we were welcomed right away. It doesn’t matter but we expected to be treated with dignity and respect. Clearly looks like the guy was having a very bad day.

The host was so rude and didn’t offer a table even though a few tables were available.

They were very helpful and a lovely experience!!!

Great food, using quality ingredients. We always go there for breakfast when we're in Cardiff.

Great place for a quick bite and a coffee

We were bought an afternoon tea for my birthday. Sad to say it was not a great experience. Coffee was Luke warm. Cakes had obviously been previously frozen as cold in the middle. Afternoon tea consisted of three small cakes, a scone and four quarters of sandwiches each. Very disappointed.

Good food, sensible prices and excellent staff.

Amazing place for dine in ,coffee etc

Always love coming here for their set menu and the staff are lovely

Met here for food before a concert last night. They were very friendly and welcoming as usual. We had the chicken burger which was really delicious, and the side salad lovely and fresh. Had a few dietary issues, and they gave us good advice so was a great meal all in all. Will be back soon.

Went mid week and only 6 people in the restaurant. Food was OK, basic chain stuff.

Food was good, the place packed, atmosphere average for an eatery in the mall

When we booked, I think we had visions that it would be in an old building as Plymouth's used to be. That had a real Parisian atmosphere. Unfortunately, shopping mall eateries don't do it for me, so would put me off booking again Tis a shame, other aspects were very good.

Tasty food, nice and good service. The only thing that was bad was the old grease on which the baby's fish was spread.

Warm friendly staff. Fresh tasty food. Good coffee too.

Had a daddy daughter date here and the staff were very well mannered and treated my daughter like a princess. The food was great and the atmosphere was lovely. Can’t wait to take my wife here now for a proper date night.

Lovely lunch, great service. Used £40 worth of Tesco Clubcard Vouchers which all worked perfectly.

Just stopped for a coffee. Service good and staff friendly

It's what you would expect from this chain. The staff are hard working and very helpful and friendly 😃

In the shopping centre upstairs so not too noisy. Spotless amenities and friendly staff.

Lovely staff and lovely food 100% come back to this cafe rouge when back in Cardiff. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely friendly staff,always happy to help with a smile. Food was delicious! Javier was brilliant from start to finish!

Always great food and service at Cafe Rouge (breakfast/lunch) Rico was my waiter today and honestly cannot fault him, very attentive even though it was quite busy. Highly recommend the Grand Breakfast!

Family brunch. Hearty portions. We were well fed and attentively served.

Quality of the food is great as well fresh, a great grand breakfast that I can recommend. Coffee and tea are of good value to go with the food. But nothing beats the staff of which I have usually have the pleasure of having Rico whom is always greeting us with a warm smile and remains to this day a pleasure to see.

Food was lovely. Waiter was a little rude when we arrived, saying that they had stopped serving breakfast but the website said we still had 40 minutes left, plus, we booked in advance.

Great French toast was so tasty and decent prices.

We often go here for lunch when we are in Cardiff, but I don't think it's such good value anymore . The service was good as it should be when it's only got about 10 tables with people on. I didn't want much so had a salmon pate starter and some sweet potato chips,it was very nice husband had Beef with potatoe could of been better with a few vegetables and a tiny slice of apple tart. Both had drinks a lime and soda and small bottle of water. Bill was £44 for what was really only a three course meal .

Delicious food at reasonable prices. The waiter was also very accommodating to my young daughter. I was happy to see how they interacted so enthusiastically with her.

A nice place in the centre of the city to sit and eat. Reasonably priced menu with a good choice. I had the chicken burger with sweet potato fries followed by sticky toffee pudding served with salted caramel ice cream. Service was very good, waiter was efficient but friendly. Will go again for sure.

The place looked nice but the food was kinda stale and the gentleman serving me seemed to be daydreaming and staring into space

Friendly service, no atmosphere, food very poor.

Another fantastic evening. Can't fault the staff. All are amazing!

Staff hard working 💪 needed a break!!! .

Estuvimos tomando un café que no recomiendo porque sabía horrible para mí gusto. El sitio es bonito y tranquilo y la atención buena.

Delicious food and very friendly staff. The poulet Breton is very tasty and cook to perfection and cheesecake is back on the menu 😉

A lovely lunch, and friendly staff. You can usually find discount coupons offering 25 to 50% off your food or you can convert Tesco points into vouchers. Really good food again. The confit duck in cherry sauce was fabulous. I could have eaten a second dish of it.

Beautiful breakfast and friendly staff loved this place excellent well done 🖒

Lovely food. I had monk fish, husband had the duck. Waiter was great.

I love coming here to eat. My only preference would be to have more meat free options on the menu. There now a lift up to their toilets which is wheelchair accessible.

Quick and friendly service. Great food.

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.

Surprisingly good and great service. The Merlot Champagne was very good.

My Daughter booked an afternoon tea for us both, it was delicious. We were also given refillable coffee during our stay. This has to be one of the best afternoons teas we’ve ever had. The staff were so inviting, funny and kind. Thank you all for making our memory so special xx

Good food, coffee and service..!

This place is excellent, such authentic feel. Waiter Rico was very skilled, holding plates very well, making us laugh and recommended how the steak should be cooked and with which sauce, pink and with peppercorn. Super fast service and very professional. As I work in hospitality I have learnt a lot from Rico.

Food consistently good. Favourable prices.

I ate british breakfast before and was much better than pancakes. They should change recipe.

Beautiful food and wonderful staff 😊

Good experience. Service was a bit slow considering the venue was not busy but you can do a lot worse. Food was really good and you can use Tesco Clubcard points to pay so if you shop at Tesco it's basically a free meal. Overall very good. Reason for not giving 5 star is service a little slow and menu could do with a few more options.
