Cafe Rouge - South Oxfordshire

Delicious food and wine, beautiful setting, good atmosphere and a warm welcome and excellent service from Fatima! Thank you. So sad to hear it's closing.. this place has been a firm favourite (of the whole family) for many years. A big loss for Henley.

The afternoon tea selection here was very good. We liked the croque monsieur a nice change from the usual sandwiches) and the cake selection was delicious. Excellent service from Fatima.

We went there for dinner tonight, at 5:30, with our two children, 6 and 3. Good time to have dinner with the kids, we thought. 15 mins in, the acting manager came to our table and said ‘do you mind keeping the noise of your children down? We have had two complaints so far’. It was an empty restaurant, apart from two older ladies and although my youngest had two 30 second outbursts, he was just a normal three year old. We left in the end and I got upset but the manager kept insisting he was ‘perfectly reasonable to ask us to keep our children quiet’ and he felt he was polite in doing so. Have to say, the waiter was lovely? Shane about the manger. Just a heads up, not a kid friendly place from our experience!

Only eatery we could find open at half past four in the afternoon, so a point in its favour there. Usual good quality food. Good service (Josh, our server, was polite and helpful). No negatives. 4*

I came early in the evening for a coffee and rest after a long walk. The host greeted me warmly, quickly seated me at a sunny table, and served me a delicious oat cappuccino. It was the ideal spot to relax and enjoy a book or meet with friends. Thank you!
