When Café Rouge introduced vegan options I was so so surprised! Let me tell you why
Going to Café Rouge as a vegan
Suraj (hubby) and I, went to Café Rouge a few years ago. We hadn’t been vegan for very long and the experience was carved in my mind as an ‘I wish I wasn’t there’ type of event. The surroundings were nice but there were so few options that although we’d met friends for brunch, we basically left hungry!
Loving the fact that Café Rouge has become more inclusive
About one year ago, Café Rouge, introduced vegan options on their menu and they were delicious! I was so excited about them making the decision to cater for vegans and that their offerings were exciting and clearly thought through.
Here’s what I tried and loved:
Beetroot Tatin with balsamic glazed roast beetroot tart with watercress and shallot garnish
Vegetable Parmentier with celeriac, chestnut mushrooms and pearl barley in a white wine sauce, topped with crispy potato
Orchard Salad with chicory, frisée, watercress, beetroot, carrot, red apple and chopped hazelnuts
Rhubarb & ginger crumble
I thought these dishes were OK:
Soupe de Saison: Moroccan bean soup with sweet potato, apricot, dates and coriander garnish served with rye & caraway bread
Moroccan Tagine with roasted courgette, carrots, butternut squash, baby spinach and chickpeas with toasted almonds and coriander chutney served with spiced coriander couscous
Tarte Tatin with vanilla ice cream

Vegan Christmas at Café Rouge
This is one of the options available on Café Rouge’s Christmas menu! Doesn’t it look yummy?
Is it hard for vegans to eat out nowadays?
I think not! Not any more!

““An interesting study published in Nature Communications found that the only feasible method of feeding the world with no deforestation was if everyone consumed a plant-based diet.”
