Rococo Lounge in Aylesbury Vale

The breakfast here is always outstanding, I have made a special request for some particular requirements for my perfect breakfast. It doesn't matter how busy they are. They always come through with the goods. I guess we go there, maybe once in 5 - 6 weeks always excellent. Keep up the good work. Oh and don't forget to clean the sauce containers had one that was blocked and on use the sauce went everywhere.

This is a great place to go for a spot of lunch or a coffee in town atmosphere is perfect!

The food was very good, fast service. The one problem for me is that the place was so cold. We were a group of 4 sat as far from the door as we could and it was a struggle to relax and enjoy the meal cause it was so cold.

We’ve been coming to Rococo lounge since it first opened, and sadly it seems to get a little worse with every visit over the last few months. The vibe is relaxed and very family friendly, which we love, but the restaurant is starting to feel quite grubby and the tables and floors aren’t the cleanest. Service was slow and the colder side of friendly, with the food taking a long time to come. The food was also very disappointing. We got our 20 month old the Mac and cheese, which came out baked in a ceramic dish which was put on the table in front of her literally straight from the oven, dangerously hot and without any warning to us at all. It was very cheesy but also very greasy with pools of grease forming. My wife had a harissa Chicken flatbread, which came on bread so hard it was very difficult to eat and the chicken on top was very sparse. I had the traditional breakfast, which came with everything only just “warm” and some unidentified foreign object stuck to my egg - it looked like a small garlic clove, very odd. A very forgettable meal. Overall I don’t think we will be coming again, which is a shame as this place used to be amazing.

This venue is not for everyone because it is not your typical restaurant. My wife likes it, and I’m not so keen. We tried it again on Saturday night with friends, having not been there for a while. The food had good flavours. An excellent salt and pepper squid. That said, my brisket was cold in places and my friend’s was too. Our female waitress was not very good. Almost mute and an awkward service. Though, the guy behind the bar that shared his experience of rums was very good because he was very knowledgeable and cared. I am not keen on ordering through an app because it removes the opportunity to engage with the customer.

Fantastic meal. Definitely worth it. Speedy service.

We had a meal before going to the theatre. Good value food served timely and of good quality. Cheeky Monday is very good value. Will use again.

Great place to eat. Food is decent with a large selection and reasonably priced. Vegetarian and vegan options too. Decor is quirky, spacious with plenty of tables to choose. Service is ok, you find your own table and have to go to the bar to order. One or two staff are really friendly and welcoming, the rest are indifferent and expressionless. Overall the place is clean and bright, good food and clean toilets

Just a lovely, relaxed night out with famliy and I could have taken my dog .

Nice place . Very busy. Best thing is the lighting . Love that

Excellent service and great staff .. . Alicia absolute diamond and fab sorting recommending gf food. Class act

My first time here. I was very pleased with the amount of vegan options on the menu, however, slightly disappointed there was no vegan carrot cake available ☹️ You can scan a qr code and order online from your table, which is what I did - no hassles and a very speedy service. The food was delicious and plentiful. I opted for bang bang cauliflower with a side of fries and chocolate and raspberry torte for dessert. The staff were very pleasant and I liked the warm ambience of the place. If I'm ever in Aylesbury again, I will definitely call in.

Very tasty and well presented food.

Great gluten free food. Dog friendly!

Had a lovely meal great service and atmosphere

A* love the place but slightly pricey

Overall it is a nice place with plenty of room. Unfortunately the staff are not very useful, I have been quite a few times over the past year and every time they have messed up my order and didn't correct it.

Brilliant with dietary requirements

Excellent service and excellent food quality, food cooked as requested. Never fails to impress. Had a lovely breakfast this morning and request of my personal choice of the egg and bacon cooking was on the nail. As usual, topnotch service.

From beginner to end, Daniel provided excellent service from recommending food choices to general engagement and friendly service.. he is definitely an asset to the company

Tapas was good value for money except the Quesadillas …. I don’t understand what happened there. We were given to tiny pieces for £4.95!!! Cocktails were ok ..reallllly sweet so walk with your diabetic medication.

We came here for a pre theatre meal. As with all of the Lounges, there's a good menu that caters to most incudi vegetarians and vegans. The staff were really friendly and helpful despite being busy. Prices are competitive, and portion sizes are good. The food was hot and well cooked. There's quite a few tables, but it does get full at weekends.

We had a great experience here yesterday. We ordered at the bar and the service was quick. Staff were really friendly, and Harry and Layla made us feel really welcome. Thanks for a lovely evening ☺️

Overall the place is nice and spacious. The staff are friendly and helpful. However the food wasn’t great at all unfortunately. I don’t like leaving poor reviews but in this instance I had to. The steak was very chewy and fries weren’t great neither. A good pint though so maybe a good location for a drink or two. Hopefully the kitchen staff can improve cause this place has plenty of potential.

Very pleasantly surprised with the food, service and vibe here. We first went into zizzis but the manager on the door was so cold and inhospitable we literally said forget it. So looked at the rococo and just said let’s go for it. It was our first time visiting. We got tapas and a main each as well as some drinks and hubby got dessert. Can’t fault any of it which is good considering the amount of different dishes we ended up having. Staff very pleasant and the manager on shift was very engaging and hospitable. To our surprise there was a quiz night about to start, the manager was great at including us and making us feel welcomed. Never had a quiz night at a restaurant before but it was such good fun! Tempted to return next week. Thank you for giving us a great experience.

We went to celebrate our ... years wedding anniversary and will be looking for another place to redo it because there was something WOW! missing...for me. However, The atmosphere and service 👌 I would go back for. I found the place clean, children, and animal friendly, not to mention the multiple sitting options. The service was quick, and the staff were polite and professional. On the menu, The menu was colourful and enticing... could do with pics though 🤔 hmm maybe not... best leave it as it is. Drinks 🍸 🍹 were awesome, in my opinion, especially the non alcoholic range (I don't drink). Try that citric lemony drink with a Yuzu... you'll try it again... and again... and ... get it? The Caribbean chicken curry tasted like chicken washed in some river waters flowing with donkey's urine, and that was it on the flavour... or lack of. I couldn't even taste the coconut 😪 I didn't think it was fair to ask for my money back because I had not inquired how it was. The good waiter had done his job, and well. However, the slow cooked brisket is worth going back for. The only other place I had ever tasted bovine meat fibres going so mellow with other ingredients was... er... never... Nan bread... could do with less salt 🧂 i think i should have the power to salt or not to salt🤔 The kids' menu of fish 🐟 fingers, peas 🫛 and fries 🍟 is a hit with kids, so no complaints. Those churros... less sugar, please 🙏 doesn't matter what the recipe book says.

I have been to many lounges across the UK, and have enjoyed the relatively consistent meals. Unfortunately, the Aylesbury location was substandard, and disappointing overall. My biggest gripe was the food. The burger arrived without ANY sauce, and had to be exchanged. There were two other tables who sent back their burgers due to a lack of sauce (I inquired). The meat was also far too overcooked, and too tough to finish. The fries were undersalted, and the edamame dip was lacklustre (how is this possible)? The bang bang cauliflower was also… damp. Just not well cooked at all. The best part of the meal was the chicken wings - at least those were good. Not great, but good. For reference, I’ve had the same dish at the lounge in Monmouth and Abergavenny, and those were made far better. If small towns in Wales can cook a meal better than a town within driving distance to London… Sad. Overall, avoid this Lounge location if you don’t enjoy disappointment. Unless you like your food under salted and suspiciously moist, perhaps give a different restaurant a try.

Great laid back vibe in a good location. The staff are friendly and polite. Good menu with a variety of different choices especially compared to other restaurants in the area. There’s ample seating with tables well spaced. The sofas seem old and well used and therefore not the most comfortable to sit on. The tables feel like there’s some kind of sticky feel to them like the cleaning products leave some kind of residue. There is often previous customers’ leftover plates and glasses still on the tables. In the corner of the restaurant are children’s games and colouring sheets and none of it is put away, so this area is always a mess. Despite this they do have good food and their ordering process is quick and easy due to the use of a qr code.

Great place for Gluten Intolerance people. Dogs are also allowed in the dinning area. This is my little heaven. My kid also enjoys the food and always keeps asking when we will go to the Lounge.

Food was perfect and didn't have to wait long for our breakfast.

We tend to eat here every few months after the cinema. This time it was a bit disappointing. We had the Caribbean chicken curry and the chicken, bacon and avocado burger. The curry was very dry and didn't have enough sauce. The burger was OK apart from the avocado, most of which was completely unripe and inedible. We'll probably not go back for a while.

Went Friday evening and it was really awful, service was non existent and even trying to order at the counter was difficult as the servers didn’t know how to take the order. Apparently I couldn’t order an appetiser so I just ordered everything together but when they served us the tapas came out first and the other meals came out 20 minutes later. This was after waiting 20 minutes. Went to the bar for a glass of wine and was told that the bar was shut down for 10 minutes to catch up with the drinks. No manager was on duty just a supervisor who was not helpful. Honestly it was a complete nightmare and would not recommend eating there . Food was not great either steaks came out cold and we finally had enough . Got a full refund but ruined the whole night. Should train your staff better. They were walking around with our food going to every table asking if the food was there’s.

Lovely only thing I would change is better vegan options

Lovely place to meet up with friends with good food, reasonable prices and relaxed atmosphere

Popped in here after a theatre trip just a 2 minute walk away through the car park. We just had a few drinks, cocktails and mocktails, all good. We enjoyed our short visit and would return. Maybe order food next time.

Can order on your phone to the table, service is usually okay timing. Food is nice and nice atmosphere

Really nice place as with all these lounges, great food and atmosphere.

Absolutely disappointing! Do not choose if you have children They're so rude

Awful. Avoid. Charged 4 pounds for 3 tiny onion rings which didn’t arrive until after we had finished food. A side order should come on the side without requiring to re ask twice. No refund either. You will be ripped off here

It was lovely, and beautiful surroundings too, the way it was decorated was very unusual and unique, it was fascinating.

Arrived in Aylesbury after a very long drive in need of refreshment. Lots of choice, nice atmosphere (drinkers and diners) and prompt, friendly service. Chose several tapas to share and all were tasty and well-cooked. Very happy to have found Rococo Lounge as our hotel was pretty dire!

Great tasting food as usual, a little over priced as 3 breakfasts came to £49 including a cold drink each.

Really good place for lunch or pre-cinema food. Quick service, great vegan and gluten free selection. Basically a really decent cafe.

Felt very unwelcome. Waited 20 minutes. Apparently lady serving us was cleaning up cigarette butts Made to feel very unwelcone.

Aylesbury lounge is very well located and in the tradition of this chain offer fine food and drinks.

Over an hour waiting time for a breakfast in a quiet Sunday morning. A place to avoid if you don’t want to spend a long time waiting.

Decent service, poor portion sizes

Bland food - not seasoned well, some parts of the burger like the caramelised onion was ok but the bun wasn't toasted and the flavours were underwhelming for the price

Lovely interior. As if I am visiting granny:-)

Lovely place, good atmosphere, and very tasty food! My non alcoholic cocktail was LOVELY.

As per their usual quality breakfast, asked for some personal preference, they are always so helpful and willing to assist.

Lovely sitting in the sun. App is great, food and drink ordered straight to the table. Staff friendly. Hash browns legendary 🙌

Solid Lounge restaurant example. Reliable for casual atmosphere, quality food and quick service. I come often for different occasions, and haven't ever been disappointed.

Popped in for lunch. As usual food was good quality and quick and staff are really friendly. Plus can take the dog in. Flo loves it. Great buzz. Been a few times and only really not enjoyed it once. Burgers are ace.

Ordered 2 x buttermilk chicken and a burger, buttermilk chicken was burnt and so dry they were unedible. Burger was also dry. I understand now why the place was quiet for a bank holiday, use to always be busy, but not anymore. Over priced fir the standard of gpid being served, won't be returning

This is a great addition to Aylesbury. Firmly rooted for a few years now, it clearly has a number of returning customers. The food is good quality and there is a lot to choose from. The high ceilings and quirky decor make for a great location for friends, family & lone diners alike. The staff are friendly & helpful and the food is not too pricey. It's always fairly busy/buzzing but I've never had an issue getting a table.

Great food. Very busy but we didn’t have to wait too long. Could either order and pay at the bar or scan the QR code on the tables. A good system to save waiting to be served then waiting again for the bill. It was quite noisy as it’s all hard surfaces and high ceilings. Right in the centre of Aylesbury. So handy for the shops etc.

Great staff, great food and overall great experience every time I come here… would suit all appetites as there’s so much to choose from 😊

Went with a group of friends for dinner. It was a weekday evening so reasonable quiet. First complaint: I really dislike the modern thing of getting people to order from their phone. This might be fine for getting drinks, but for food, there's little worse than having some people finished before other's have been served. This used to be a skill for kitchens; getting a table's dishes all out at the same time. Second complaint: My partner has an intolerance to spice. We know this can be an issue so we asked up front what they could serve and they said they could do a steak. 10 minutes pass and she comes over to explain that the steaks are pre-marinated. They can do a chicken salad though. 10 more minutes pass and she comes back to explain that the bacon gets cooked on something that has chilli contamination. ok, so no bacon. Finally, she comes back again to explain that actually, they can't guarantee that the chicken won't be contaminated either so the best they can do is a salad with some cheese. My partner ended up hungry and left to get McDonalds. I understand that my partners dietary requirements can be difficult, but we've seen a very wide range of quality of handling it. Some restaurants are spot on. They have competent chefs who can think on their feet and go out of their way to provide a tasty meal without the crutch of spicing everything. What we got at Rococo was what appeared to be a chef too lazy to clean down a frying pan. I could almost understand if it was heaving that night, but as I said, it was quiet. Also, side note to any chefs out there: Salad does not need to consist of tomato, cucumber and a ton of lettuce. Be a little more creative.

Welcoming service and food arrived promptly, we had burgers which were delicious, reasonable price would definitely recommend

Absolutely fantastic place! It's child friendly and dog friendly.

Friendly and welcoming . Perfect place for a pre theatre meal. Tasty food well presented .

Popped in for brunch. Lovely welcome and great food. Kevin could not have been more friendly and helpful. Always love visiting as staff go above and beyond to chat and serve you.

We had a lovely evening! Kevin was so attentive and accommodating. We had the tapas and it was wonderful. Great food and service 👍

Modern dog friendly restaurant in Aylesbury's modern town centre. We visited for br over the weekend and it was good. You can order food at the table and pay using a QR code and if you have allergies, you can opt to order at the counter. We went for a regular english breakfast and shakshuka. Both were good but the juices seemed a bit overpriced with fresh juices coming at a premium. Overall good restaurant for brunch.

Terrible experience this evening. My wife and two boys come here most mornings, afternoons. Tonight, we visited in the evening, for the first and last time. One of my friends children's vomited on the floor. We had to beg for help, only to be handed some blue roll by a gentleman who did not say a word and left us to clear it up. We ended up going on all fours clearing the mess, which I appreciate was down to us, but some common courtesy to help us would have been great. We ended up pouring hand sanisitiser on the floor to help clear and disinfect the mess. Did the staff do anything at all? NO! I appreciate there was only three members of staff, but this was just poor service. None of our plates were cleared as we were about to order deserts, it just ended up becoming a bomb site. We ordered cocktails which tasted terrible, none of the guests finished theirs as we were all dissapointed. Overall, extremely poor and won't be returning anytime soon.

I had the shaksuka with friends wed delicious, then sat i had the coconut king prawn noodle bowl and tapas to start, amazing the noodle dish was so refreshing, very happy customers. Compliments to the chef and all the staff are friendly :)

Had lunch after seeing a show at nearby Aylesbury theatre. Busy but food was not long and very nice.

Tasty chicken burger and nasi goreng

Some great food here and V popular!

If you want underseasoned, overcooked yet soggy food, a poorly assembled aesthetic that has as much do with the rococo movement as Adidas trainers and a price that would bring a tear to your eye than this place is perfect. The servers in their personal clothing, mismatched seating and screaming children perfectly embody the spirit of "mid". Three stars because our server was nice.

By far one of the best loungers I've visited. Better staff service than my local who are usually miserable and rude. Staff here were all wonderful and it make such a difference to hour experience. So huge thank you. Xxx

Breakfast was very good and good value

Went to Rococo Lounge for the 1st time and shared 2 x Tapas platters with my friend. Absolutely delicious !! Could maybe do with a little more pitta bread to go with the dips. Overall, fantastic food, lovely chilled ambience and would visit again.

I ordered a hot chocolate and it was absolutely horrendous! It tasted as though it had been made with awful tasteless semi-skimmed ‘milk’ - and they seemed to have forgotten to add the chocolate! Why on earth do you still use dreadful watered-down semi-skimmed ‘milk’ in 2024 when the general population is switching back to proper whole milk? We now know that saturated fat isn’t a problem! Definitely one to avoid!

Good food, ok service. Beer selection could be better

This is one of my favourite places to eat in Aylesbury and we probably go every 3-4 weeks for breakfast or lunch. I’ve never had a bad meal, the food is great. Really nice friendly atmosphere. Great with kids as they provide crayons and games etc. Easy ordering and paying with QR code.

Went for bacon sandwiches as breakfast for Aylesbury Wombles meeting. Breakfast and coffee first class and service was excellent.

Lovely chilled place for lunch, always enjoyed eating here and great service. Food is always outstanding!

Beautiful open plan venue with a homey feel, barely two minutes walk from the theatre. The food is simple and delicious, portion sizes generous, vegan and gluten free options aplenty, and the staff were absolutely lovely from start to finish. Not too crowded even for a Sunday evening. I went with the vegan burger (absolutely delicious, well balanced, not too pricey, and arrived quickly), my sibling had a tapas spread, and my mum had a lounge burger. Came for a show at the theatre, might come back just for the food! (Their coffee is great too!)

The atmosphere is always relaxing and it's a great place to go if you have a dog too.

nice airy space. i go because it is dog friendly and have treats for my dog

Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Love going here.

Had a lovely breakfast today, cooked to order. This place is consistently good. Possibly a tad expensive. They should include the first drink in the meal price as they have previously

Came here for breakfast in a group of four…the service was very good & the food well presented & delicious. We will definitely return

Visited on a quiet Wednesday evening, less than half the tables taken. Tried ordering a drink from the bar to take back to my table, was told it would be at least 20 minutes before he could pull a pint as he had drinks orders for tables that had ordered food. Should perhaps have more than one employee over 18 when you’re running a bar restaurant?

Today me and my brother in law went to Rococo to have some lunch, I had the tapas such Meatball Mariana, Fried Chicken Wings and Salt and Pepper Squid, while the my brother in law had Honey Whipped Feta, Salt and Pepper Squid, Mezze Grain Bowl and the Bang Bang Fried Cauliflower, it was absolutely delicious, the service was really good. Highly Recommend It

Very poor customer service. Condescending management. Didn't wait to order

Tasty food, staff friendly, not a long wait for food. Will come back

Been coming here since it opened, I don’t know what’s changed but this last year there’s been a massive improvement in service. Becoming quite the regular now, service, food are great and the prices are very reasonable. Very cozy atmosphere with kind welcoming staff.

Mixed bag for me, but my wife loved everything about it.

Great place, wish I'd visited sooner.

Great food, really busy and only table left had tiny chairs low to the ground, so this made eating a little awkward.. But this is my only gripe..

Rococco Aylesbury is a great place to go and relax, eat, drink and watch the world go by. We are regulars there and will often just pop up with our dog on a weekend to play games/ have coffee/ wine. The staff are amazing and what makes this venue so welcoming and comforting. At times they are rushed off their feet but never have we found this to affect the friendliness of the staff. It may not be bells and whistles but it’s a reliable, safe, family, dog friendly place to go and chill. Thankyou to all the staff for being so great.

Lovely place with good selection of food and drink and friendly staff

Definitely recommend a lazy Sunday breakfast. Good selection including vegetarion option, staff really friendly and helpful.

Friday evening, Found a table, ordered on app Not over busy but service a little slow, even for our drinks. However, food was good and price reasonable
