Cafe Rouge Portsmouth

Returned to the cafe after some time away to find it’s not improved. Staff wearing their masks as chinstraps. Breakfast delivered minus cutlery, had to ask. Also had to ask for butter for toast. No napkins provided. Really disappointing. There are better options at Gunwharf.

We visited for a drink to take a break from shopping. It is self service. Not sure if it is just because of the restrictions or if it is all the time. Staff were friendly. We have a lovely table with a fantastic view. A great place to have a drink and chill. Will definitely return.

We ate lunch here on Sunday 13th September. It’s adequate but no more, really. Such a shame as it’s a prime location! There’s no decor and no atmosphere. The food’s fine, but all let down by the lady taking orders who had her face mask under her chin, ripped latex gloves and an annoying habit of scratching her nose before handling everything in sight. Really?? We won’t go back. Ver carta

Came in for breakfast early on Monday morning. Great location over looking the harbour. The menu is quite restricted. My full breakfast was ok for the price. My wife wanted more of a vegaterian option that wasn’t on the menu, although I did hear the waitress tell another table that option is available but not on the menu. Don’t now why. One good point is they serve decaf tea, which is unusual. All in all, adequate and average.

We chose breakfast here as we'd read some good reviews, and the weather was nice so we wanted a view across the water. When you go in it's not the most welcoming of places, the young lad on the till was absolutely devoid of any personality, which came off as really rude. The young lady who made the coffee was polite, as was the lad who brought the breakfast out. We sat by the window for the view, but quickly realised this was quite a cold place to sit! Breakfast was nice, but wasn't very warm which was a shame. The vegetarian sausages were some of the best I've had, so that was a bonus! All in all a disappointing visit though.

Visited 18.11.23 am for coffee and something to eat Requested a cheese omelette which the chef agreed to make after advising me it’s too early for omelettes as this is classed as lunch item) Husband requested a prawn baguette but not too early to have as breakfast item) Omelette was unfortunately dreadful! The actual omelette was like thin rubber but the cheese was almost an inch thick, I could not finish it They did not have any prawns so my husband settled for a chicken and mayonnaise baguette . The baguette was just a mayonnaise baguette with a few small chunks of chicken so he left half of it. We were so disappointed as this as always been a wonderful cafe. Total waste of £26.00 Ver carta

Four of us visited here, one disabled and I am still reeling with shock of our treatment. There were three women working, Pauline stomped us to us whilst we waited to be seated, no good morning or greeting and then she said we couldn 't tie our very well behave dog up so I said my husband would be with him which she replied threateningly 'they 'll be moved on ', after deciding this certainly wasn 't the venue for us and that my husband would have been quite at liberty to sit on the free benches facing the sea without 'being moved on ', I went and asked the front of house woman her name where the older lady behind the food counter said 'they are really starting to p me off now ', my hearing i...

Visited Portsmouth for the first time during half term with my family. We decided to stop for a short break at the Waterfront Cafe as it was a wet and windy day. We placed our order with Savannah. Our drinks and scones came in good time. No tea cake arrived which I had ordered. We were asked to pay for our food as soon as the drinks arrived and noticed that the tea cake was not ordered but decided not to query this. Having waited 25 minutes for my daughter’s cheese and ham toastie on white bread I went up to the desk to query where the last part of the order was. It seems that it was not placed. The order was placed again and we were told it would take a further 10 minutes. The order did arr...

Well what can I say, there were only two other couples total 4 people) in the café, both had been served a little while ago as they had finished their meals. Were were told when we came in find a table as we will be doing table service today. I scanned in NHS app, did the hand gel bit told to find a table. So far so good, sat down at table and waited and waited, and waited, one staff member fussing in the serving area, the waitress who showed us in eventually disappeared out the back we think to talk to her friend. We waited, and waited etc. etc. etc we even tried to get the attention of the waitress still fussing in the serving area really not doing much at all, and even she went out the ba... Ver carta
