Cafe Rouge Canterbury

My wife and I had a very nice lunch on Saturday, but I was not served what I ordered. the menu had changed recently and I was not advised when I ordered. I ordered a sharing plate that consisted of a selection of cold meat, rillettes, brot and a baked camembert with caramelized wobbles. this was still on the menu in the restaurant and also on the cafe rouge website in the internet. what I was served were six sausages, garlic bread, hummus and a baked cader. it was nice, but I don't think it was worth the same price as the choice of cold meat, etc. I think the personal should have said that the menu would have changed if I had ordered and I had ordered something else. as usual the service was first class and all staff was very helpful and friendly.

The steaks were perfectly cooked with sauce served on the side, and the desserts were delightful. The restaurant was not too crowded when we visited at 5:30 pm, but it was nearly fully booked for the 8:00 pm slot. We enjoyed the house red wine, although it was on the paler side. Thanks to a discount from a gourmet company, the meal was reasonably priced. The waitress provided excellent service, so we would definitely return to this restaurant.

The overall experience at the restaurant was good, but I was confused by the bill. The total amount charged was higher than what was listed on the bill. The waitress was unable to provide a satisfactory explanation, so I decided not to pursue the issue further and simply paid. The discrepancy in the bill has left me hesitant to return to this restaurant in the future, as a bill should always make sense.

We enjoyed a 3-course lunch with a glass champagne (offer). everything was perfect and our waitress was as beautiful as ever.

I booked online and when we got there they did not have the reservation. I did phone a couple of days before to confirm my booking they were busy. I was told they would look and check in a bit, if there wasn’t a booking they would book it in. They obviously didn’t do this, luckily there was space.
