Cafe Rouge

Tucked away amongst the bustling boutiques on Chiswick High Road in West London, Café Rouge is popular with a trendy young coffee-loving crowd. This chain of French cafés – with their signature maroon and cream colour scheme - has become as much a part of the British landscape as hedgerows and chippies. The retro-Parisian mise-en-scène, excellent selection of coffees and croissants and the cosy atmosphere make Café Rouge the perfect spot for perusing the morning papers, sneaky chocolat-chaud-and-cake dates and discreet working lunches. The Frenchified food and wine menus include everything from croques and Kir Royales to steak frites and syrah, and we highly recommend the garlic and thyme infused half roast chicken served with French fries, watercress and beurre maison.
