Cafe Rouge - St Katharine Docks in Waltham Forest

Kristina and Lale were very kind and professional! My husband and I really enjoyed our time at Cafe Rouge

Nice to see one of the few remaining cafe rouge still open. Food was good and the service excellent. Thanks to our waitress Ivanna

We went there for the first and had a nice experience. Sanjana our server was fantastic she took very good care of us.

Absolutely loved the cozy vibe and delicious food at this spot! Our server Sanjana was a gem—super friendly, attentive, and made perfect recommendations.

Great experience! Thank you so much Ivanna for taking care of us the way you did.

Yummy french toast!, cute area along the water,, Kristina our server was so sweet and helpful with food allergies as well!

Breakfast was lovely - veggie breakfast & scrambled eggs were perfect. Our server Ivanna was super friendly and attentive throughout. We will definitely be back at st Katherine’s docks branch!

An awful experience. Just wanted tea. Waited 15 minutes for any service at all. A friendly blond haired waitress then asked me what I wanted. I gave her my order andit took a few minutes but my tea came. Brought by a man this time. With no milk. I told him I wanted milk, but he seemed disinterested, no apology. So I went in and ordered milk. The friendly blond haired waitress brought my milk. The tea was cold and stewed, so that was a disappointment, but worse was to come. After I had finished my tea , no one came to ask if I needed anything for about 15 minutes so I went inside to pay the bill. The way I was spoken to there was disgusting, the worst customer service I have ever experienced in the UK. I approached a guy on the till, i cant remember his name. He literally shooed me away and said he was 'too busy' to deal with me. I said I would not pay a service charge as my service had been appalling. He then accused me of being rude to his staff and said i was 'complaining in the wrong way' (!) even though I did not raise my voice, say anything rude or use any profanities. I asked him if he know what customer service was and I made to leave, I was so upset. Then he stepped toward me, which was aggressive. I told him to back off and he told me to leave the restaurant. Appalled, I did that. I was a regular customer, going every weekend, but I will never set foot in any cafe Rouge again due to this employee's disgusting attitude of contempt for customers.

Great early morning breakfast thanks Ivanna

Had seabass and a cappuccino it was delicious. Huge shout out to the waitress sanjana she made sure about everything, very attentive.

Excellent place for a coffee, drink or some nice food. The staff is super friendly. Special thanks to our waitress Angelina!

We were served by Angelina, she was very kind and attentive. We give her 5 stars.

Sanjana was lovely. Very friendly and polite. I’ve been using Cafe Rouge for many years and the food has always been good but my last two visiis the food has been the best I’ve had there.

Good portions and great service by Angelina. She was very attentive and helpful with ordering. Thanks!

Excellent location overlooking the dock. The restaurant has, unfortunately seen better days.

Angelina was extremely lovely and friendly. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was great

We had Ivanna and she was AMAZING! Very quiet and great place to go and so accommodating to a gluten free person! Would 100% recommend.

Enjoyed our lunch here after visiting the Tower of London. The confit duck was especially tasty, as was the apple tart. Our waitress Ivanna was helpful and friendly.

Shavani at st Katherine dock is attentive and so very accommodating for our family we have returned a few times thank you for your service 👍

Had a lovely breakfast outside in the sun with a great view of St Katherine’s Dock. Our server Shivani Sofiene was very friendly and helpful .

It was nice service from Shivani and Sofiene. Had an amazing lunch 😋. Really loved the place.

Food was good, i loved the service of shivani

Meena our waitress was amazing, food was fantastic, highly recommend

We went there for the first and had a nice experience. Angelina and Kristina took very good care of us.

Saturday 09 May 2025 pm, beautiful and sunny afternoon in St Katharine Docks. I cant even write about service or food as me and my wife were simply refused entry to the restaurant, the waitress gave us the following reason: "the management has decided not to take anymore customers and no more bookings in the system" ?? they were unable to confirm whether its a booking only. The manager who came out to explain was rude and simply asked us to leave, we told him we were prepared to wait for a table to be free but he categorically refused and started complaining about too much work and shortage of staff, he told us we had no chance even if we waited all day, we never experienced anything like this here in England or abroad, the management at this restaurant should be ashamed of themselves for treating paying customers in such manner, I think they pick and choose who gets in depends on how much they reckon you gonna spend. my wife was left shaken by the whole experience. Thank you Cafe Rouge for spoiling our 26th Wedding Anniversary.

If you miss Paris, this is the place to go. Good food and nice staff

Shivani sofiene gived us a excellent service

Lovely dockside breakfast. Thanks Shivani!

This place is a hidden gem! Only a 5-10 minute walk from hotels, it provides an amazing atmosphere. Shivani was not only kind and welcoming but also provided an amazing service and ensured all our needs were met. Definitely recommend this Cafe!

very bad staff behaviour of their staff is very rude and unprofessional their manager need to train his team member how to behave with customers we are not going to get free food their shouting and telling we are closing

In Tower Hill you always wonder if this is a tourist restaurant. I throughly enjoyed my breakfast here and the service from Isanna was very good and pleasant. I stayed longer and enjoyed an extra glass of wine because I was throughly enjoying my morning here.

A great place to stop for tea or a relaxing breakfast. The pastries and desserts are really good, perfect for a tasty break. The service was also up to par, with a special mention for Angelina, very kind and attentive.

The manager Sofiene was very welcoming and professional! Efficient service also from Angelina and Sanjana! Food was amazing the sirloin is tender and full of flavour. Will definitely come back!

It was such a nice visit. Sanjana was amazing.

Her efforts truly elevated our night and added a personal touch that made all the difference.

We had a wonderful lunch experience today and a reason for this is partly because of Shivani. This young lady is a total asset to Cafe Rouge. The food was well cooked and hot when served.

Lovely spot at St Katherine's Dock for a coffee and cake. Wanted a seat outside and Meena rearranged a table to suit us. Had lovely scones with cream and jam. Great customer service from Shivani too.

Food was disgusting. I found hair in my hamburger, my fries were green, it was undercooked. We waited for an hour and a half and when it came it was cold. They didn't want to turn of the AC off, what a steal🤐🤮

Very pleasant lunch, nice food, staff friendly and prompt service. Thanks to Meena and Angela for their cheerful manner!

Friendly welcome from Isabella, great service from Meena. Great breakfast too..

Shivani and meena took exceptional care of us and lunch was delicious, thoroughly recommended.

Thank you to the lovely Arsenijus who looked after us so well on what must be one of the busiest days (London Marathon) and very hot too! We weren’t rushed but looked after and it was so lovely at St Katharines dock - what a star

Lovely meal next to the charming St Katherine's dock. Friendly good service by Angela

Good food, good drink and place
