Rouge Cafe

The kitchen of the very Frenchy Rouge delivers just what you'd expect: eggs benedict and croques-monsieur, baguettes and croissants, tarts and quiches, with fittings and furnishings in a Parisian-cafe style. Generously seasoned fare is served with Gallic aplomb by waiters who effortlessly adhere to old-school standards of hospitality. Nestled beside Toorak station, the footpath seating is great for people-watching, and it's easy to feel a little smug if you're not joining the commuters. Indoor and courtyard seating provides many nooks from which to savour the expertly brewed Campos coffee - bold, smooth, with a chocolatey finish.
