Indulge in a delightful time out, with timeless French food at Café Rouge in Cardiff’s St David’s II. Just a few steps away from the Principality Stadium and the National Museum Cardiff, this laid back French restaurant chain provides the ideal setting to enjoy a relaxing dining experience.
Café Rouge invites guests to explore a selection of breakfast, lunch, and dinner options in the heart of Cardiff. The menu showcases an array of delicious dishes inspired by French culinary traditions, each crafted with the finest and freshest ingredients. Treat yourself to the exquisite flavours of rich beef dishes or toasted sandwiches, a classic every time.
For those with dietary preferences, Cafe Rouge’s Cardiff bistro offers gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan choices that don’t compromise on flavour - so you can be sure to get the true Parisian experience whatever you order. Begin your meal with the iconic French onion soup — a rustic Parisian classic elevated by melted cheese croûtons that float atop a flavorful broth. Or perhaps you’ll enjoy some calamari, delicately dusted squid paired with a zesty lemon and garlic mayonnaise, or try the kiln-hot smoked salmon on a baguette, served with cream cheese, lemon, dill, and chives.
For the main course, enjoy the essence of provincial Burgundy with the beef bourguignon — a sublime dish of slow-cooked beef bathed in a red wine sauce, accompanied by bacon lardons, pearl onions, carrots, and chestnut mushrooms, served alongside herby mashed potatoes. The demi poulet offers simplicity yet delicious flavour, presenting a half roast chicken marinated in garlic and herbs, accompanied by thyme jus and fries. Polish off your meal with a sweet indulgence — the apple tart, a cherished French favourite, served with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream.
