About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Romantic
  • Innovative
Full of history and culture, our bistro is situated on the historic Bridge Street in a stunning Grade II listed building, thought to have been constructed in the 17th Century.


With a nod to the history of cycling in Cambridge, a rouge painted bicycle with dressed basket sits outside the building, with a bicycle themed wall mural leading into the courtyard.


The outside courtyard is partially sheltered by a large heated umbrella, perfect for al fresco dining whatever the weather.


The top floor of the restaurant can be booked, free of charge, for large parties, celebrations or events.

    We were celebrating a friend's birthday and the starters and mains and coffee and champagne were all excellent. However the waiter did make it all the more pleasurable because was attentive but not overwhelming and could enjoy a joke with us, All in all a most convivial evening, thank you!

    I only gave 2 stars because my Rib eye steak was sub standard the rest of the meal including my wifes steak was good. The waiter who had looked after us was first class he first of all reheated the whole steak meal but it was the sinue that was the the problem without further adoo he deleted the cost of my steak which I thought was good customer service that deserved 5*.The resturant made us very welcome and we will go back when we are back in the area

    A little bit noisy in the early part of the evening; but the food and wine were as good as I had expected. Not a huge amount of choice for vegetarians, but at least not limited to mushroom risotto and vegetable lasagne as so often happens elsewhere!

    We chose Cafe Rouge to have our Anniversary dinner as it is a cosy inviting restaurant close to work, which we have enjoyed many times. The service is usually good but on this ocassion was very lovely indeed - extremely polite and welcoming. The lighting adds to a very pleasant . ambience We use Tesco vouchers when we dine here as the only drawback I find is that it is a bit expensive if we didn't have vouchers

    After eating at cafe rouge in Norwich and having an excellent meal and service we decided on a day trip to Cambridge and booking cafe rouge again but was disappointed. We sat squashed in a corner table whilst people were arriving just for coffee and sitting at bigger tables, we had chilli prawns for starters as the same in Norwich but they came in hot chilli oil with full shell on so had to wait to eat them as we could not pick them up, I had beef bourginion for main with around 5 pieces of beef in it and my husband had the moules which had no liquid in them we had the same in Norwich but meals were totally different leaving us disappointed.
