inside the Cafe Rouge
Cafe Rouge is a very pleasant, atmospheric French style restaurant chain.
This one is in Lakeside, but I have been to one in Cambrige as well.
Both starters were good.
Mussels were tasty and the prawn in a tomato, garlic and chilli sauce were a delight.
Very nice beef bourgignon served with French beans and Dauphinoise potatoes.
I had the salmon nicoise with pan fried salmon on salad and it was lovely and fresh.
The wine list is limited but overall it was well cooked food at a reasonable pice.
