Oscar's makes such a refreshing change to the number of chain restaurants you find on the high street in Leamington. It's tucked away in a little side street and possibly very easy to miss if you don't know it, but it's well worth seeking out! The staff are very welcoming and gave us a choice of either being seated down or upstairs. Both times we've visited Oscar's we've sat downstairs and not been disappointed. There's a really buzzy, community feel and the service is attentive, but not at all intrusive. Oscar's is painted in a deep red colour with atmospheric candle lighting, making for a warm and intimate feel for a quick luncheon or leisurely dinner here. We've had both lunch and dinner here. Locally Oscar's is well know for it's excellent steak and chips. My partner had the streak and he thought it was indeed very good - cooked to his taste (medium rare) and succulent, but the chips probably let the dish down. The steak really needs to be served with chunky chips, but the ones which arrived were cut quite thinly and lacked that real satisfying taste you can get from well cooked (oil slick free) pomme frites! It's probably just down to personal taste, but if you compete with good gastro pubs/restaurants, you have to get everything right with a meal. The french soup is delicious and a great winter warmer if you're out shopping for the day. We've tried a few of their desserts and they're all homemade with a great attention to detail in their presentation - savour every mouthful. Their traditional Creme Brulee is to heavenly as is their Mousse au Chocolat. I honestly don't think you could go wrong with any of their lovely puddings! Reasonably priced and good quality food and wine, well served. I really can find little wrong with this great independent bistro. Highly recommend a visit!

Probably need to book at weekends as it is quite small. If you want to try simply cooked, home-made French food, rather than the over-priced, slick 'french' style chains around then this is certainly worth visiting.

I chose muscles and fries, my partner chose sautéed mushrooms. For my main, I had the salmon Niçoise. Very, very tasty! Lots of fresh veggies, egg, crispy salad, and the salmon was cooked perfectly. My partner had the duck with potatoes and string beans. He finished before me, so, I think it's safe to say he enjoyed his as well. I haven't given much notice to Cafe Rouge before, but I might start going there more frequently now. The prices are a bit high (because it's French??) but at least it's good food and great service.
