Restaurant review of Café Rouge
Out for a lovely meal in London this week and found one of my
favourite restaurants – Café Rouge.
With stylish and light décor, entwined with homey cubbyholes,
lamps and book shelves, the restaurant delivered the gorgeous atmosphere of
Paris whilst amidst the hustle and bustle of London.
For my starter, I had "Bresse
Bleu" (£6.95) a dish of "mild &
creamy, melting blue cheese from Burgundy, served with baguette and crisp apple
for dipping". I thought the dish was tasty but perhaps a little heavy to
start with and quite salty – thank goodness for the crunch and sweetness of the
apple to offset the rich flavour of the blue cheese. Additionally two types of
baguette were served – the first, a small crunchy twist stick with soft warm
centre and the second a thinly cut loaf with a fresh crumbly centre and chewy
crusts – perfect for dipping (reminded me of a mini cheese fondue).
For my main I had "Loup
de Mer" (£14.95) a dish consisting of a "fillet
of seabass and sauce vierge with baby plum tomatoes, torn basil, rosemary &
black olive potatoes and green beans".
Well, I must say, this dish was WONDERFUL! Packed full of
beautiful complimentary flavours – the sweet juicy tomatoes and rosemary potatoes
mixed with salty black olives was sublime. The seabass was plentiful and
succulent with a soft, flaky texture as well as the contrast of its golden
crunchy skin. Served with a generous bundle of perfect, al dente green beans – a
fine accompaniment to this well balanced, light and delicious dish.
With the only shadow of the night being perhaps a little too much
of an interval between starters and mains (all though this did give us time to
work up some sort of appetite for mains as the starter was so rich and creamy
(not that I’m complaining)), the entire evening was lovely – the food was
exquisite, company entertaining and staff were very friendly – creating a happy
and helpful atmosphere for us to enjoy. I thoroughly recommend that next time
you’re out to head to Café Rouge for that sublime impression of Paris – ah magnifique!
