Building on the success of its ‘express’ site at Euston station, Café Rouge, the chain of restaurants serving popular French style dishes, has opened at Victoria Place, London, and aims to be ideally suited for shoppers and commuters using the transport hub, thanks to its focus on takeaway items.
Takeaway menu
Alongside ever-popular items such as the Sampler Sharing board and Steak Frites, this new site will offer a takeaway menu with a variety of fresh pastries, baguettes, croques and more for customers to enjoy. There will also be a rotisserie, available for the first time at a Café Rouge site, with freshly roasted chicken for guests to dine in and enjoy or to take home.
Work while you eat
To appeal to those customers keen to work while they eat, Café Rouge has installed a large communal table fitted with power points, for anyone who fancies a glass of wine or bar food while they do some after work emailing – with free WiFi available too.
Shop full of French treats
Furthermore, as an exclusive one-off for Victoria Place, Café Rouge is launching a new shop full of French treats for customers to buy and enjoy in the comfort of their home. Items available include French Dijon sauce pots, olive oil, wine and champagne, craft beer, Café Rouge coffee bricks and hot chocolate tins, as well as bread boards and copper pans.
Grab and go offering
Edyta Pytel, General Manager at Café Rouge Victoria Place commented: “Victoria Place is right in the middle of a transport hub, with tourists, local residents, local employees, commuters, shoppers and the pre-theatre crowd passing through – a huge potential audience, and this has encouraged us to create something a little different for our new site.
“We wanted to provide more of a grab and go offering for the thousands of people who visit Victoria every day but may not have time to stop for a meal, while our shop is a completely new venture for us and one we feel will prove popular with those looking to create a French feast at home, or pick up a quick gift.”
