Rue Gourmet in Epping Forest

Rue Gourmet nails it with exceptional service – the staff goes above and beyond to make you feel like a VIP. Couple that with their outstanding food and coffee, and you've got a winning combination for a delightful experience. John

In my opinion the best cafe in Buckhurst Hill. Interior is lovely and the food is well presented and fresh. I hve had two or three lunches here and they have all been delicious. The coffee is very good too.

My son ordered a roast chicken sandwich brown bread and that is literally what turned up plonked on a plate no garnish or anything , I could have gone to Costa opposite for that , to be fair though when I mentioned it they did take. It away and add some salad , presentation is important

I always attend Sunday morning after church. Their friendly service is great and warm. Menu choice huge but I always have the same. Coffee and toast. Its my special chill time if the week. Free water and Sunday newspapers are a huge plus.

Just visited for first time. Fantastic atmosphere and the best service. Beautifully decorated and warm reception. The galettes were amazing. Wholeheartedly recommend a visit

as above, my coffee order was wrong, not served with a smile, really small portions for what you pay

Great coffee friendly service. Lovely independent cafe alternative to the big chain across the road. Will be back soon to try the food

I loved the place ! So genuinely French, but with pleasant service hahaha Delicious food, obviously. Please ask for Clar's special treat, ladies love it !

This cafe is fabulous! Such a gorgeous little French find in East London/ Essex. The coffee, crepes, smoked salmon, cakes - all so delicious. Been going here since the summer. Am not very grateful for the delicious takeaways. Yummy! My lockdown treat to myself and my family.

So thankful that Buckhurst Hill finally has an authentic French cafe, and we no longer have to suffer the awful coffee and service of the mediocre Costa Coffee which is somehow still in business. The coffee is fantastic, the food delicious and the mainly French staff are charming and friendly. You have to try their cheesecakes, little pastry tartlets and, of course, their lunchtime menu which includes a delicious soup daily.

I have visited this cafe a few times and every time it has been wonderful...tasty pear tart, delicious chocolate brownies and lovely crepes! So pleased we have this treasure in Buckhurst Hill!

Visited Rue Gourmet for the first time this afternoon & enjoyed delicious freshly made sandwiches & great tasting coffee ☕️ I had a very nice Smoked Salmon & Cream Cheese & Mum had a very tasty Ham Sandwich, both on a lovely fresh granary bread. Very friendly, pleasant & prompt service and extremely well organised in relation to Covid matters too! Will be going back again soon!
