Cafe Rouge

Nestled amongst the bustling boutiques and bars on Hampstead High Street, Café Rouge is only moments away from the tube and the Heath. This popular chain of French cafés – with their signature maroon and cream colour scheme and wicker furniture - have 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, Kir Royales and baguettes to steak frites, syrah and beef bourguignon, and we highly recommend the garlic and thyme infused half roast chicken served with French fries, watercress and beurre maison.
