Neighbourhood gem
Great for fine wines
Great for outdoor dining

Upstairs at the Mailbox, and a stone’s throw from Harvey Nichols, this Rouge has a gorgeous outside sun terrace to dine on and a private dining area which caters for up to 40 people for parties or meetings.

And as it’s "the Mailbox" there's also an authentic Parisian post-box right by the entrance (to pop your love letters in?) and a deliciously decadent wine cellar showcasing our extensive range of French wines and Champagnes.

Great food. Ambiance was rubbish as we ere the only diners and even then the service wasn’t that good. Great deal for breakfast - even if they couldn’t get the order right!!!! Great location and ideal for staying in Malmasion. It’s much cheeper and a better selection than the hotel breakfast.

First of all they didn’t have our booking. Lucky for us they weren’t too busy. Three out the four main courses were ok, the rib eye steak although it had been hammered to tenderise it was full of gristle. Duly returned and had it taken off the bill. Would I eat there again? NO.

One of the staff was not very attentive & didn’t communicate well. Forgot part of my order & too ages to bring food. Also they were not expecting us & only gave us a table as they were quiet.Would go again as some staff good but not sure would use this app again. Don’t want to be disappointed if Open Table is not actually contacting the restaurants???

Cafe Rouge was excellent & had to find a table for 6 on a very busy day as opentable had not informed them of our booking. Will not book via internet again will book direct with restaurant

Myself and my Husband visited Cafe Rouge, The Mail Box on Saturday 10th September for my Husband's birthday meal.As Always we enjoy the experience very much,as we alway's do. Very friendly attentive staff,and a good choice of food on the menus.Plus because they are one of the group of retaurant's where you can use your Tesco's Club Card Voucher's a meal that should have cost £73.15 cost £33.15! I would recommend this particular Cafe Rouge to anyone!

The food was average, the service although smiley, was slow. My steak was cold so I sent it back, and they reheated it. Although it wasn't that busy, it took quite a while to be served and for the food to arrive. We were celebrating a 40th bday which I mentioned on booking the table, yet the staff made no extra effort to those just walking off the street. Disappointing!

Food was OK. Nothing really special to be honest. Service was good and attentive - We had to book here as we wanted a table for 8 and being a Friday night at 8pm - it was one of the few that could accommodate us.
