Cafe Rouge - St Katharine Docks in Waltham Forest

Really lovely friendly server named Santana really looked after us. The food was delicious and we really enjoyed the Parisian atmosphere by the dock in London.

Great food and great service thanks Arsenijus great service

Had a good lunch today. Meena was an amazing waiter.

Had a lovely time with our kids, great service by Shivani

Arsenius our waiter was professional, friendly and attentive. Food and coffee was delivered promptly. A very authentic French European vibe. Nice start to our Easter weekend in London.

The staffs Shivani and Angelina were excellent

Thanks to Angelina for her service and the chef for the fantastic food. The restaurant's view is impressive.

Beautiful place, good food and service. Angelina served us and was very friendly. Recommended place for vacation or anytime.

Very nice food, great attention from Angelina and relaxed atmosphere. Fully recommended!

As ever, I really enjoyed my breakfast at Cafe Rouge. I had the vegetarian breakfast which came with avocado and delicious sourdough bread, it was really delicious. I've always loved the calm atmosphere at St Katherine's Dock Cafe Rouge, whiling away the morning whilst watching the boats in the docks outside. Our waitor- Arsenivus was attentive and welcoming.

Shivani greeted us warmly and the food was amazing

I went for lunch with my friends Shivani gave us amazing service . Highly Recommended food and drinks . Worth to visit

Served by Arsenisus, looked after us really well. Quick and great service. Thank you

A tasty, good quality, relaxed breakfast overlooking the waterways of St Katherine's Dock. We were welcomed and seated by Lale, who was very welcoming and friendly. Arsenivus looked after us well (service was calm, friendly, and attentive). The coffee was hot and strong, the full breakfast was expertly cooked, the views were great, and the atmosphere laid back. Overall, a great way to start the day. Already looking forward to coming back!

Did a great job, I did not get my drink and she made sure that I got it very fast when I said somthing. My food was also very great!

Attended with a large group traveling abroad and they did a great job catering to different food needs. Dessert was amazing and the lentil Wellington was great.

I always like to come to Cafe Rouge! The one in St, Katharine docks is superb, with nice food and view! Special thanks to Sofiene! An amazing manager! And the staff that looked after us! They make us feel very welcomed!

Khaled and his team are amazing! Always a very friendly welcome. A beautiful location on St Katharine Docks. Well worth a visit.

Wonderful food and atmosphere. The staff (Arsenius and Meena) were extremely friendly and very accommodating. Absolutely a must visit if you have the chance.

We had a great breakfast here. Meena and Arsen served us - they were great!

Many thanks to Angelina for the excellent service and helpful advice!

Had a great lunch with the friend @Cafe Rouge. Thank You Khaled for looking after us!

Excellent food, service by sanjana was amazing. We will surely recommend this place to others.

Great Service by Sanjana and colleagues

Excellent service by our waiter Arsenisus very comfortable environment and good food at reasonable prices.

Amazing food and environment for friends and family. Amazing service from the waiter Nicole. I would recommend this place 100%

Both Shivani and Nicole had amazing customer service! I came in with my grandparents, who are vegetarian, and Cafe Rouge was very accommodating. I’ve been here twice before and I’ve tried all of their afternoon tea selections, which are all great.

The food was good. The atmosphere is fine. A bit old. Unfortunately the service completely neglected us. Everything took forever.

Food was really good. The server Arsenijus Ivana, was very good with his recommendations. Service was prompt and ambience and vibe of this place on a early morning is Excellent.

We had a wonderful welcome by a gentleman who I assume was the manager. We were given a beautiful table in the sun and told that someone would be out to take our order shortly. There was a wait for our order to be taken, but I appreciated that they were busy. The staff member who took our order was abrupt and began to snatch the menus out of our hands before we had finished speaking. He barely looked at us and then when our drinks finally arrived, he slammed them on the table without a word. Our drinks had taken so long to appear that the food arrived just after and this was also slammed on to the table with our waiter Arsenijus saying “enjoy “ in a manner that implied he couldn’t care less if we enjoyed it or not. We had a fabulous table in the sun and would have definitely stayed for desserts and more drinks, but we were really put off by the service. We asked for the bill and Arsenijus asked if we would give him a 5 star review or he would “get in trouble” Perhaps if he wants a five star review he should try to give 5 star service. Such a shame as the food was lovely and the manager so welcoming and friendly.

We had a lovely lunch. Great food and very helpfull friendly staff "Lale" Nicole" and "Ivanna".

The service was excellent and the food was absolutely delicious. The staff were genuinely attentive. If you’re visiting Tower Bridge, this place is a must-visit. You’ll love the service provided by Assenijue and Ivana — they were fantastic! ❤️❤️❤️

We were very well received by Lale Nicole and Shivani A very good, attentive and professional team

Very warm welcome and very good service. Thanks to Shivani for her kindness. Very good restaurant in a very nice location.

The portions are a bit small although the flavors are delicious. The wonderful place and Shivani's attention, without a doubt, the best thing about the place.

Wonderful Service at Café Rouge We visited Café Rouge yesterday and had a lovely experience. The atmosphere was cozy and the food was delicious. I especially want to thank Lale for her kind and friendly service. She made us feel very welcome and comfortable. We will definitely come again!

Lale the supervisor was very polite and very helpful

Super service! We enjoy the place. Merci beaucoup 👌

Really good value menu, no problem for gluten free, clean and a bit of quiet close to the busy Tower. Served by Lale, Nicole and Ivanna, all very friendly!

Shivani Loli was very helpful, loved the server! She quickly gave us what we wanted and was very nice, accommodating us well. The restaurant and atmosphere was perfect, a great first experience!

What a lovely place this is! Amazing service from Arsenijus and Ivana Lale, super friendly and polite, a credit to this place. Our breakfasts were beautiful and it was the best scrambled egg ever!

Excellent service by Arseniuus and Ivana. Lovely views over the docks.

Great Service from Ivana We will dine here again!!

Shivani was wonderful had a great dinner.

Not very good restaurant, very average quality, not enough to blow your mind In addition the dishes are not cleared, the only positive point is the location

We called in Sunday evening, can't fault it. Pleasant atmosphere, good food, good service. Special thanks to the waitress who looked after us so well.

I ate at about 6 pm on Monday evening and was pleasantly surprised to see a number of people already there. My favourite dish, which is sea bass served with new potatoes and French beans, was lovely, as was the Merlot recommended by Lale, who looked after us really well. And the view over St. Catherine's Dock is always good.

Great cafe, thanks for lale, sanjana, and shiuani

Brilliant service! Shiuani Sanjana Lale

Lale, Sanjana and Shivani were great! Thanks for good food!

Great service from the friendly and helpful Angelina.

Very nice quality food. The waiter Arsenijus done really nice service.

Ardennes was fantastic! Great food and atmosphere

Superb service from Arsenijus and lovely food.

Awful experience this morning, had to leave as the service was extremely slow. Was waiting over 15 minutes for someone to take our order. Was promised table water which was not delivered. The restaurant wasn’t even overly busy for a Saturday morning.

We enjoyed our breakfast very much. Arsenivus quickly served us and was very nice

Left after 35 minutes of waiting after being seated, nobody batted an eye while people arriving later than us got served, absolutely appalling customer service and attitude.

Delicious food, quick service, beautiful restaurant and delightful service by Arsenijus

We had a wonderful experience here. The pastry was buttery and warm when it arrived. Thanks to Shivami for her great service!

Great food and good service from shivam & sofiane

Very Nixe Place and Shivani our waitress Provider us super Service

Nice spot for a lunch break with a view of the harbor. Great service from Shivani.

Arsennus was incredible! We don’t want for anything thank you for making our visit so special

I got an Apfel Strudel, tea with milk, they were all great. Thanks Arsenius, sorry if I spelled it wrong.

Incredible experience here. The atmosphere was absolutely stunning and vibes were overall fantastic. Also a huge shoutout to Shivani and Sanjana. They both went above and beyond to serve me and were super nice.

Angelina was top class, good food and amazing service!

Angelina was super nice and helpful. Great service and care. Would come back and recommend to others.

Lovely setting in st Katherines Dock a relaxed spot near to Tower Bridge vey friendly service from Angelina . The Breakfasts are fantastic and reasonably priced

Food and service was lovely, Angelina was a great waitress!

Food and service was really good.

We had a lovely time getting some coffee and pastries. You get a lovely view in a beautiful setting. Our server (Arsenijus) provided friendly and excellent service.

Came here for late lunch on a sunny afternoon with my two children. Arsenijus was lovely - very efficient and personable. Food was great - had the mussels and they were delicious

A lovely meal, with attentive service by Arsenious and Sofie-Ann. A thoroughly enjoyable evening with some lovely food too. Will definitely be back!.

Arsenivus was a great server, made excellent suggestions.

Excellent staff, credit to Cafe Rouge. Great location and food was lovely

Very nice service by Arsenijos.

Thank you to our server Shivani

Came in for a dinner. Had a very good service from meena and lale.

Came in for a quick drink and dinner. Meena was good humoured and engaging.had a good time

This is the first restaurant I’ve ever been where THREE members of the staff handled me a card with their name and asked me to write a positive review and mention their name?!? Also they said : “please support our business by leaving a positive review”. Well … 1.I am supporting it already by paying to eat in your restaurant. 2.So far as I know Cafe Rouge is a chain and not a small family business that need a “support”. Service was extremely slow and restaurant was almost empty, we had to wait 20 minutes for drinks?! When food finally arrived it looked pathetic and it was completely tasteless. Service charge is included and I am still wondering where was the service we payed for? Worth mentioning: Guests at the table next to us complained about undercooked meat ( which is a health hazard) and returned their plates.After that someone came and offered them replacement free of charge and a free desert,and also handled them a card asking for the review🤣 Asking guests for a positive review is really a bad practice. Let people leave a review if they need to, same applies for the service charge, don’t force anyone to pay for non existing service.

Lovely food for a very reasonable price! The portion sizes of the desserts could have been lightly bigger given what we paid but the breakfasts were perfect and all the food was delicious! Service was very honest and high quality. Shivani took great care of us.

Lovely brunch, the full English and egg Florentine were amazing! We had chocolate fondant and apple cake as deserts and they were absolutely delicious. The team has done an incredible good job making us comfy and happy, Shivani was lovely beginning to end. Definitely coming back for more!

Shivani and Lale provided exceptional service during our visit. Their warm hospitality and attentive care made our dining experience truly enjoyable.

Isabella and Shivani took great care of us. Would definitely recommend

Shivani you are the super star Service with a smile and food that hits unforgettable

Fab experience at our first stop in London on our arrival. Great avocado toast. Thanks very much to Izabella and Arsenius

This was a lovely place for breakfast. Great views, friendly service and delicious food.

Arsenius/Zabella was very helpful and attentive

Had a fabulous breakfast at Cafe Rouge, St Katherine’s dock. Food was great and the weather was superb. Service was fantastic as well, and our waitress Shivani was amazing. Nothing was too much trouble, and she was polite, friendly and a credit to the company. Would definitely recommend anyone to eat there. 👍

Lale and Shivani gave us the good service and had amazing dinner Shivani and lale are the perfect servers for us tonight

Lale and Shivani gave us the good service and had amazing lunch

Shivani and Isabella were thoughtful, professional and curtious. We had an exceptional meal.

I had a wonderful experience at Cafe Rouge, and a big part of that was thanks to Shivani Isabella. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and professional, making sure everything was perfect throughout my visit. Her warm and welcoming attitude made me feel truly at home. The service was quick and efficient, and she even gave great recommendations. I’ll definitely be coming back—highly recommended!

We sat in the sun and enjoyed a lovely English breakfast (vegan). The service (Shivani) was super friendly. ☀️

This restaurant has a spectacular breath-taking scene of St. Katharine Docks with many lovely boats. Thanks to the magnificent weather and the natural sunlight streaming in, the atmosphere of this restaurant is exceptionally romantic, relaxing, and beautiful—making it a true tourist attraction. However, I noticed that the restaurant is understaffed. Despite having only two employees—one female and one male staff member—they worked seamlessly together, never rushing and maintaining excellent teamwork. At one point, I thought they might have forgotten my cappuccino, but they didn’t. Instead, they politely checked if I still wanted it, which I appreciated. This restaurant transported me back to my days in Paris. It’s hard to believe it only has a 3.9 rating! The food was delicious and served warm. I would recommend being prepared for a leisurely dining experience, as each dish takes about 30 minutes to prepare. This slower pace reflects the essence of the Slow Food Movement, a hallmark of French dining culture. If you’re looking to spend just an hour on a meal, this might not be the right place for you. Instead, plan for at least 1.5 hours to fully enjoy the experience. For example, I arrived at 2:00 PM, received my food at 2:30 PM, finished eating by 2:41 PM, and am now writing this review at 3:00 PM. I plan to leave around 3:30 PM. The ambiance here makes time feel like it’s passing slowly, reminiscent of the relaxed vibe I experienced in France. Overall, I believe this restaurant is slightly underrated. To be fair, I’m giving it a well-deserved 5-star review in hopes of helping others discover this gem.

Arsenijus and Sofiane provided great service even when swamped with a large tour group. The food was delicious. Recommend.

Lale and Arsennus Excellent Service today Friendly and professional
