Rouge in Galway

Lovely authentic French restaurant. Limited menu offering fish of the day, duck, striploin steak or fillet of beef. If cooked rare, it is very bloody. If well done, it can be cinderised. Medium is a good option. Steak tasty, if a little chewy. Other dishes were nice. The starters in particular were delicious, as were the desserts. Piano was playing in the background over a lot of chatter. Very attentive service from an international staff. Our lovely waitress was from Brittany. Great night overall. Popular and busy. It is important to book. Ideal for that special occasion. Merci à tous!

Simple menu and delicious food, great service, recommended

What an unbelievable find of a restaurant great service great staff great food easy menu super tasty unbelievable wine and a good atmosphere.

Get there, top class...tell them I send you.

This would be a 5 star review as the food and over all experience was very very good, however it was tainted by one waitress who towards the end of our booking was quite rude. The food was absolutely amazing, I cannot recommend it enough in that area. It was a busy evening, and the place seemed a little understaffed as waitstaff were very rushed. We were waiting for our mains for over 30 minutes, but we just put that to it being busy and weren't too bothered by it. Our food ended up coming about 20-25 minutes before our "end of booking" time, however we thought we woukd he given a small bit of leeway with it as our food came so late. After our mains plates were cleared we were then served dessert menus and they seemed to have no issue with us ordering one. When dessert came another waitress came shortly after, threw the bill at us and very rudely told us she could give us only 10 minutes more as there were people waiting for the table. She then stormed off before we had a chance to answer anything. We sat there then trying to finish our desert when about 5 minutes later she came back over saying that the next guests had been waiting for a while and she absolutely couldn't give us any time longer and told us we had to leave. We then said yes, and that we were happy to pay whenever, and she replied very shortly that we had to go up to the till to pay, which we hadnt originally been made aware of. Over all it was a lovely evening with very little to complain about, however the service could be improved as there seemed to be a bad lack of communication between staff members as to what tables had and needed what. The staff over all were all lovely but this one waitress did put a taint on the evening. You can't have our mains come 25 minutes before you need the table back and then get annoyed when we're still eating. We had been making plans to come back next month but I'm not sure we will now.

Very nice atmosphere, friendly staff, good food

Celebrated a birthday at Rouge recently. Steak was great and the lemon and meringue tart for dessert was delicious.

Real nice French Restaurant! The food was really tasty and good. The same as we can find in France. The waitress was really nice and the typical environment of the restaurant remind us easily about France ! Recommend for people willing to try French food

After more than 10 years in Galway, Rouge remains my go-to for an exceptional meal and a true taste of France in Ireland. The starters are wonderfully original—four different tasting bites perfect for sharing with friends. I typically order the fillet with gratin dauphinois, and it's always a delight. The wine selection consistently impresses, and I usually go with the owner's recommendations. They really know their wines. For dessert, the chocolate dome is an absolute must-try! It's also the perfect spot for a romantic evening in a wonderful atmosphere. The staff are attentive, friendly, and genuinely joyful. I can even speak French with some of them, which is a lovely touch! The price point is honestly very reasonable for Galway, especially considering it includes a full three-course meal of exceptional quality.

What a fabulous place. Food service and general atmosphere A must for any foodies.
