What OpenTable Diner likes about Cafe Rouge Maidstone:
Visited while on holiday in region. Warm welcome and excellent service from a team of waitresses. Every waitress was very attentive and the food was amazing. We had authentic French dishes which were all excellent. Thanks to all the staff for a very nice meal Ina friendly and relaxing ambience. View all feedback. What Jobo doesn't like about Cafe Rouge Maidstone:
We booked a table for 6-30pm on Saturday evening and we were late by about ten minutes for which we apologised. We did not like the table they showed us to and asked to be seated somewhere else, which they did. My husband and I both ordered the lamb shank off the specials menu. There was not much meat on the shank and it was a bit tough. The mash was nice and the red cabbage which was served with it was also nice but... View all feedback.

Cafe Rouge in Maidstone offers a mixed dining experience, with some patrons praising the warm welcome, excellent service, and authentic French dishes, while others were left disappointed by cold fries, poorly presented food, and slow service. The prices are noted as being on the higher side, but the set menu is considered good value. The attentive staff receive both compliments and complaints, with kudos going to specific waitresses and criticisms aimed at the chef and management for food quality and kitchen efficiency. Overall, opinions on the restaurant seem divided, with some enjoying a nice meal in a friendly atmosphere and others feeling let down by the overall experience.
