We came here twice in one day we loved it so much! We had the ‘Rouge’ afternoon tea which was a whole baked Camembert with bread, chutney, macarons, meats, olives and some pear with unlimited hot drinks. We then booked right after to go back for dinner and we did not regret as it was one of the best meals of the trip, thanks to our server Rachel. We highly recommend the demi poulet and the chicken, leek and ham hock pie which were both incredible! For dessert we had the chocolate fondant which was also amazing!
Service was excellent! We were served by Taylor, Lynne and Rachel, who were extremely professional, friendly and courteous. Food and drinks were prompt and on the mark. I highly recommended
Beautiful terrace that catches the sun -perfect for when the sun is out at center parcs. Did have a wait a while for service but the food was amazing - particularly the croque madame. Great value lunch deal - make sure you get the fries and they are some of the best fries I've ever had. Salty, crispy with a fluffy center and full of flavour.
We came to cafe rouge tonight, there was 4 of us dining and all had a lovely night. Tracy was our lovely waitress, very kind and attentive to our needs! Even had a great chat and giggle with her! Would dine here again
We came here for breakfast with our 5 year old and n the last day of our Center Parcs break. The service was wonderful, there’s a little play area (max height 110cm or so), and the food was fresh and lovely! (We had a kids French toast, Eggs Benedict and a vegetarian breakfast). Warmly recommended!
Back in September I had gone to centre parcs as a little 4 night get away and to this day I still crave the meal I had at this restaurant. The food was all cooked with perfection. Everything tasted lovely and I really did finish every bite of my 3 course meal which is very rare for me to do I’m very fussy with steak and usually like mine medium- well done so there isn’t any blood. I wanted one steak in particular on the menu but you could only get it medium rare. So I had asked if it was ok to just cook it a tiny bit longer and they said they were able to which was great. The steak was cooked with perfection. I haven’t had a steak like it and I even went to beef eater once. The first thing I’ll be doing when I go back to centre parcs is booking a table at this place. I’ve told my whole family about it and they’ve all agreed they had a lovely time here too.
Fantastic service. Second time here on the same holiday and served by the amazing Rachel. She made us feel so welcome and special.. she is a lovely lady. We will def be eating here on our next visit to Center Parcs ..
The atmosphere was unbelievable for afternoon tea We didn't want to leave, we were in there for around 2 and a half hours just enjoying the place and drinking hot drinks, It probably would've been longer if another reservation wasn't booked. The food was good, not unbelievable which would have made the review a 4 had the staff and customer service not been 10/10 after I overpaid, and they helped fix that issue as well as their attentiveness during the duration of our stay. Great place highly recommend for afternoon tea.
