Cafe Rouge

Located on the Park Hall Road in East Dulwich, Café Rouge is always filled with a chic, Francophilic London crowd. This chain of French cafés – with their signature maroon and cream colour scheme and wicker furniture - 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.
