The Rouge RestoClub Winter Menu 2007

tapas Allow me to introduce our new Winter Menu. All our tapas, main dishes, pastas and desserts are made from scratch in house, with local and seasonal products. This Menu was especially created in the spirit of discovery of international cuisine. You will discover our wide range of influences, from local and French cuisines to Mediterranean Japan and even Madagascar. Enjoy !

However you can go with a young Pinot Noir, a Zinfandel or a Merlot and discover aromas of candied red fruits… And let’s not forget that Champagne fits especially well with all crèmes with eggs, caramel, Crèmes Anglaises, Crèmes Brulées, and with almost all desserts… Discover Rouge’s fine wines available by the glass or the bottle.
