First time to Roux and they didn't disappoint. Drink - Glass of sparkling rose each Starter - We shared the roasted Brussel sprouts Mains - My wife had the truffle fettuccine and I had the salmon on a bed of cauliflower risotto Desert - we could not make our mind up so ended up with both the lemon cheesecake and the crème brûlée I've attached pictures of all the dishes (literally) !.. you'll figure that piece out and how much we enjoyed them. I'd read up on the fan fav. French onion soup but was put off as someone said it was filling so skipped it .. After seeing it served at another table I was kicking myself but we will hopefully return for a lunch and will pray that's on the menu. Talking of menus, the only tiny gripe is the website had a menu that is out of date and the 2 dishes I really fancied were no longer available (lobster fettuccine and crab ravioli) .. please please could you update your website or the menu on Yelp or at the least take a photo of the new menu and delete the old ones as they are all 6+yrs old and I forgot to photograph it !. Anyhow, the ambience was great, service was faultless and food devine. Both my wife and I came away (from her birthday dinner) feeling we'd chosen really well with a sincere desire to return !. Thank you to the team for your obvious passion for food, there's lots of choices in the area and Roux stands tall in the valley of giants as a solid recommendation. read more

Just enjoyed a great meal here! 3/4 of us got the seafood pasta, which was amazing. I had the white sangria, which was sweet and not too heavy on the alcohol. 2 people in our party got the French onion soup. I tried a bit of the cheese and it was out of this world! Maybe I'll get the soup next time with an appetizer because I would have been too full from both the soup and the pasta. The lobster fettuccine and crab ravioli also looked amazing. Easy to make a reservation online and the restaurant wasn't too crowded. There was plenty of outdoor seating. Our waiter was great too. We can't wait to come back! read more

Parking: street parking, also a lot of parking available at the shops area a short walk away from the restaurant Service: good service, our server was friendly and helpful. Appetizers: brussell sprouts - terrible, was expecting a more charred/crisp texture but they were bitter and soggy fries - crisp and the aioli provided was good, small portion size gambas - shrimps in butter, was good but nothing special Entrees beef bourguignon - this would be a great dish at like $15 less than what they are charging overall good ambiance, good service but food felt overpriced, probably why the other nearby restaurants had more business and ROUX did not read more

Careful they were nir open when we made our reservation. We got there and it was closed without warning. read more

Easy last minute reservation made. Great patio; stifling inside. Friendly service. Keeping name, there's been a change of owner and executive chef since here last. On this visit: hearty "Heirloom Tomatoes with Burrata"; standout brandy sauce with undercooked shrimps "Gambas with Brandy"; and, an amazing abundance of seafood, chorizo, chicken but with no socarrat whatsoever found in their "Spanish 'paella' Surf & Turf". Cheers! read more

Came here on Sunday evening shortly after opening. Reservation wasn't needed at this time. The service was a bit slow despite not having a full restaurant. Water took forever and we felt other people had seen the server more than we've had. The food was decent. We only ordered their paella for two and that was more than enough. They do have outdoor seating which seems to be the preferred choice. We sat inside and ended up dealing with flies. Appreciate the parking availability though! That's one less thing to worry about. read more

ROUX - Paella for 2 - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Carmel Valley, California

My husband and I tried this place while visiting Carmel valley . Service was impeccable. Our food came out quickly and was so tasty . Our only mistake was ordering too much . We started with the scallop appetizer . This was so delicious ! We also got the French onion soup and seafood soup . Both were good but the French onion was to die for. The seafood pasta was fantastic along with the baked lobster . Our pup was allowed inside and had mini burgers . The crème brûlée and chocolate cake were so tasty . Enjoyed a wonderful bottle of Pinot Noir from Bernardus. We will be back ! read more

Had reservations for my family of 7. We were starving, they were closed despite accepting reservations.

Long time no Yelp review! Attracted to this place cause of the duck options on Yelp! The interior was very intimate and classy - a very nice date night location. They have a full page of wine to choose from though I opted out cause I just had some pain meds. My girlfriend did partake in white sangria which was quite refreshing (couldn't help but try haha). They have a nice selection of small plates available with pastas and entrees. I haven't had tuna tartare when I felt satisfied. Typically, you get too little taro chips or not enough tartare but this was a good balance. I felt it had enough tang though my girlfriend felt it was just so-so. The duck confit with mushroom ravioli was fire! It was very savory and the meat felt like it melted in my mouth after it fell off the bone. I was able to taste the truffle oil and it had a delicious mix off flavors with the mushroom ravioli, sauteed mushrooms and cherry tomatoes, and roasted squash. The yucca fries had a crispy exterior and just can't get enough of the chipotle aioli, ask for more! We got there an hour prior to closing but they were able to serve us their paella for 2! We did ask for it to go since it took a bit to be prepped and but it was worth the wait. The Spanish surf and turf was good with chicken sausage shrimp veggies and rice and tasty spices. I really like that it survived a 15 min drive without drying out in that box! Be warned, it might not look a lot in the pic but it really is for 2. Definitely would return for date night in Carmel Valley! read more

Their white wine sangria is so refreshing. I heard they used to sell it to-go during covid because it was so popular. They use fresh fruits like oranges, mango, peach and it blended so well with the white wine. We enjoyed their tuna tartare with taro chips. The chips were thin and crispy and went well with the fish and avocados. We also got the chicken and seafood paella, which was tasty but honestly a bit heavy, but I think all paellas are like that. Come hungry! Oh and they didn't take card when we went. Cash or Venmo only. read more

Made a reservation for Christmas Day for 7:30. Called half an hour before my reservation to confirm that they were serving their full menu and not a "Christmas Menu" as some restaurants were doing, otherwise we would have found somewhere closer to eat. Someone answered and said yes. Drove 30 minutes to find the restaurant completely closed down, it did not look like they were even open today. I understand completely that most businesses are closed for Christmas but to have reservations available online, answer the phone and confirm their menu and then end up being closed is completely unprofessional. (They even had reservations available at 8pm, their closing time, which makes zero sense.) read more

This is a really nice and trendy restaurant in Carmel Valley. I dined outdoors with two little ones and felt very comfortable. They have baby chairs available upon request. I arrived on a Saturday right when they opened and guests quickly filled up the dining space. It seems like folks come here for mimosas and small bites. I tried the pomme frites, house smoked pulled pork sandwich, orange glazed chicken skewers, and the house beer batter alaskan cod sandwich. Everything looked really pretty and presentable. The fries were crunchy and not overly oily. The pulled pork sandwich was a tad on the sweet side, but came with a nice purple cabbage slaw that balanced the meal. The salad was rich and creamy. The bread was fresh and soft. The chicken skewers were soft and had a nice touch of orange glaze that was not overly sweet. The cod sandwich was crunchy and not oily. It tasted pretty good and fresh. The food was made quickly and there was absolutely no wait. The waiters are attentive and come out often. There is free street parking, and a few spots specifically for the restaurant right out front. This was the first restaurant out in the Carmel area in my experience that either took cash or Venmo. Venmo was convenient as there was a QR code. Perhaps the COVID precautions here are different as I did not see workers wear masks or hand sanitizers readily available. read more

I visited Roux this past weekend with a group and ordered the New York strip steak cooked medium rare. Unfortunately, the steak I received was clearly overcooked--closer to well done. When I brought this to the attention of our server, he acknowledged the issue and said they would remake it. Shortly after, the server returned and informed me that the chef beleived the steak was medium rare, though they would still prepare a new one. About five minutes later, I received another steak--this time severely undercooked, blue rare, and still cold in the center. When I brought this up to my server, the chef shouted from the kitchen, insisting the first steak had been cooked correctly. It was one of the most unprofessional dining experiences I've ever had. The staff showed no accountability and displayed incredibly poor customer service throughout the interaction. read more

We went to Roux in August- food was good, not fine dining, no table cloths, took our own wine and paid corkage. We went back with some friends because we didn't have reservations anywhere else after a wine pick-up at a local winery. We walked about a quarter mile from the winery, but forgot to take our wine. When we arrived at 6:30 pm on a Saturday, the restaurant was empty. However, we were asked if we had a reservation and when we said no, the guy had a little attitude. We all laughed because there was no one else there! Then the guy said to sit anywhere. LOL! We were all in a good mood and when we sat down, my husband joked about the absence of table cloths again and the server remembered us from last time. We ordered from the wine list, but they were out of the first bottle we chose. We asked for another and they were out of that too. Then we asked what they had and the server said to look in their wine fridge. We selected a bottle from Roar, but it was $200, more than we wanted to spend that night. They suggested another bottle which was $100 from a winery that none of us liked. Nothing else appealed to us so we asked if the server could give us a break on the Roar since they didn't have the 2 we ordered from the list. He called the owner, and he said no. At this point, we were so embarrassed because we had taken our friends there and we couldn't even order a bottle of wine. As a group we discussed what to do and decided to walk back to our car and get some wine we liked. Finally we had wine and ordered the brussel sprouts appetizer, which were delicious. I had chicken for dinner, which was okay. My husband had the bolognese which was really good. One of our friends ordered the salmon and it was way too salty. In the end, we were charged for corkage on one bottle although we had 2. So that's something. However, if a restaurant doesn't have any wines you want and you walk a half mile to bring your own, you would think they would waive the corkage fee. Anyway, we won't be going back and neither will our friends. read more

We were here for our Anniversary weekend as we were staying at Carmel Valley Ranch close by. It's cash only. Not sure if it was always like this. No problem for me. We came 2 times once on a Friday, the other on Sunday. Parking can be a challenge as there are many places to eat. My wife and friends got the paella which they loved. I had Tuna Tartare with avocado under and it was delish. Found out they also sell wine. Ate outside on a very nice day. Wait staff was very good . We will be back read more

In sum: the food is unbelievably wonderful and the service is UNBEATABLE! They also serve the BEST French toast I've ever had! I came here for a wonderful brunch, beautiful seating outside with the sun shining and keeping you warm, but also has nice cover too. Beautiful! Sat near some cute doggos too. I've seen their whole menu, they serve some wonderful dishes for lunch as well, and I will absolutely travel across the country just to come back here. french toast / caramelized banana / pineapple-coconut syrup / crispy bacon u n b e a t a b l e French toast... I have no words (or all the words). The caramelized banana that was with the rich and toasty bread complemented with the pineapple-coconut syrup is the best combination that has ever been created. It did not taste like an artificial banana flavor but if fresh, caramelized bananas. I can still taste it and I still dream about it as I'm writing this review. The bacon also complimented the sweetness of it all, even though the dish itself wasn't extremely sweet, it was balanced very well. There's only one way to find out if this is the beat French toast ever... it's the get it and see for yourself ;) Yucca fries: if you don't know what these are, they're basically like a thicker (thiccc with 3 c's) type of fry that is crunchy on the outside but also comparatively to a potato, creamier in fry form. Technically speaking, it is a gluten-free and fat-free (also root) vegetable that is high in Vitamins C, B & A as well as calcium, phosphorus, potassium and iron, and it has a higher amount of fiber and potassium than potato's! It was super delicious, don't let these fool you because it's an appetizer for a reason so although they look like a small portion, remember it's pretty thick in fiber so it's pretty filling too. I shared these with my boyfriend and we both love it! The sauce is a Chipotle aiolï, it was super delicious! Complemented the fries very well. Crab cake Benedict: extremely filling and super delicious! I could definitely taste the nice freshness of the grab flavor and the Holland aisle that covered it was very creamy and rich, it went so well together! Bacon was also super crispy and crunchy, perfectly cooked and not overdone. The potatoes were great, I do have to admit, the potatoes are quite average and we should've asked for some kind of sauce, maybe ketchup, but eating it with the chipotle aïoli leftover from the Yukon fries was great (until we ate all the sauce haha). My boyfriend got the french style scrambled eggs: with house made sausage, puff pastry, creamy eggs, and roasted Yukon gold potatoes. I had a couple bites of his and it was super delicious! The pastry was flakey, buttery, and delicate, and paired with the creamy eggs and a bite of sausage? It takes me to flavor-town, it's like a happy dance in my mouth! The house-made sausage was so delicious. It was so savory and juicy, it reminded me of an Asian type of pork I've eaten back at home, with a lot of flavor inside, reminds me of a type of soy sauce blend, and it was so good! Service: this is the best service here. There is a man who is so kind and so passionate with his work. On a day we came by, he told us he was running a bit behind and it seemed like he was the only one who was there to service the many others who were there. He was running everywhere and you can tell that he only wanted to deliver the best quality food with the best quality service, he was so kind and funny, very personable and apologized many times, but we didn't see a problem and completely understood. He also told us that he loved the French toast too and that we made a great choice! Such a wonderful man, we tipped him very well, he was such a hard worker and cared for his customers very well. In addition to the French toast, I would also fly back just to see him :) read more

We had a great dinner at Roux this past weekend. The restaurant has been open and closed off and on the past years since Covid and we were happy to see it back open. We had the deviled eggs and the tuna tartare to start. Both dishes were very tasty and fresh. Our entrees were the Beef Bourguignon and the ribeye. The BB's short rib was fork tender and the mashed potatoes were the perfect texture. The ribeye was cooked medium-rare, as requested, with a lovely sauce. The asparagus on the side could have been cooked more, it was close to being raw. But the roasted potatoes were crispy on the outside, fluffy in the inside. We took off a star because while the fire in the fireplace was nice, there was a faint smell from what was burning and it was a bit unpleasant. We'd sit farther away from the fire next time. The server was very attentive and all in all, we're going back with more friends soon. We hope more people come and try Roux so they make it. CV village really needs a restaurant like this! read more

Had a very nice date lunch here with my wife while we dropped the toddler off at a friends for a play date. It's a small spot with a wine cellar vibe inside, pretty patio seating outside. The service was friendly and attentive. All of the food was fresh and cooked perfectly. The shrimp all was tasty, my wife loved her gnocchi and the steak for my steak frites was cooked perfectly. I feel like it's really hard to get a perfectly medium rare steak anymore. This chef clearly knows what he's doing! read more

My family recently came here for my wife's birthday, and we were unfortunately really let down by slow/poor service. We ordered an appetizer and entrees, and it was a full 80 minutes between being seated and receiving our first appetizer. Our entrees came out at the 90-minute mark. It would be nice if the restaurant would have had bread or something for the table, but they don't do that here. We literally had no food for 1 hour and 20 minutes. Our water glasses were frequently empty. But then again, you probably drink water faster when you have no food, so that may be part of it. The server did not acknowledge or apologize for anything, and while I'm sure I could have complained my way to an apology, I'm not sure there would have been any point in doing that. I can say that next time we're in the area, we won't be coming here for a second visit. And I suggest you don't come here for your first. read more

Cannot recommend this restaurant enough! We made a reservation months ago for Memorial Day weekend. When we arrived, the restaurant had a closed sign but they welcomed us warmly. They served us an amazing meal and were so kind and patient with our 4 toddlers. We thought it was strange we were the only party there the whole time and asked our server at the end of the meal. It was only then that he told us there was a mistake with the reservation system and they were supposed to be closed but wanted to honor our plans so opened just to serve us. We were floored with their integrity, patience, and dedication! Love being able to support a restaurant that truly loves their customers, esp after a day of dealing with a bunch of snooty places in Carmel by the sea. Do not hesitate to come visit and order the paella! read more

I think they're undergoing new management, but this place is very solid and great portion sizes for the location, price and small house-like ambiance with outdoor and indoor seating. We came with a group of 6 and had a reservation on a Thursday night, but there were only 2-3 other parties in the restaurant. Great service and pretty seasonal menu that changes it seems. The best dishes I would recommend/order again is the Duck Breast and Filet Mignon! the others (Paella, Braised Beef Gnocchi, Half Chicken were just okay but nothing was bad), Dessert was actually amazing, both the Meyer Lemon Cheesecake (omg this crust) and the Crème Brûlée which other reviewers suggested were amazing to share. This place is CASH ONLY which is weird for somewhat of an upscale place and pretty inconvenient, but we came prepared. read more

After all these years, the place is still top-notch. The new owner has been the chef for quite awhile so the menu items are still prepared the same. So you'll still find one of the best French Onion soups around (Bistro Moulin's is just as good). I still haven't tried a dinner here but I love the brunches so much. I had the Salmon Benedict for the first time today. I usually go with the crab but almost everyone in my party wanted the smoked salmon so I decided to try it too. It passed the test. Being from Alaska, I'm particular about salmon. Good smoked salmon should have an even texture and be firm with a slightly smoky flavor, not overpowering. Theirs passes the test. A friend loved his chicken sandwich. So I always leave thinking there is something else to try, the friendly service is not too overbearing but they are still there. And cannot beat a sunny afternoon on their patio. I'm glad Carmel Valley Village has this hidden gem. read more

We were staying in Carmel Valley recently and made a reservation at Roux (3 adults, 2 children, 1 dog). We were sat on the patio, heat lamps and fire pits around our table keeping us warm on the chilly evening. My sister knows Chef Fabrice and his wife Jennifer, while I also share a mutual friend with them. Chef greeted us and started chatting...turned into a 30 minute conversation; very entertaining, animated and passionate about his cooking and lifestyle. Also made some excellent recommendations which we decided to try. Recommend eating family style; ordering different dishes to share with the table. Appetizer: -Grilled Artichoke -Cantimpalitos Chorizo Corndogs -Dungeness Crab Cakes Entrees: -Périgord summer truffle pasta -Braised wild boar bourguignon style w/ garganelli pasta -Grilled niman ranch double center pork chop -Butter/Parm pasta for the kids Dessert: -Deep fried oreo / mint whipped cream / vanilla ice cream Highlights - the pasta! Fresh made in-house, excellent texture and bounce. Also, the wild boar was fantastic. We were informed that the boar was actually "harvested" earlier that morning. And the deep fried oreos; come on! The last time I had these were at a county fair, but the mint whip was a nice addition. read more

The family and I rolled into ROUX for lunch today after some wine tasting. We checked out the Corkscrew Cafe, but really weren't feeling it. ROUX closes at 2 so we were lucky to get a table when we did. The menu had small plates on it which is really what we were looking for. The first thing I noticed were the truffled deviled eggs topped with salmon caviar. I love deviled eggs and could have eaten three plates of them. Between the Mrs. and I the eggs were gone in less than 5 minutes. We also ordered the cantimpalitos chorizo corn dogs. Yes, you read that correctly. Chorizo corn dogs and very good ones I might add. To add to the carb/meat munchies, we ordered the creek stone beef mini burgers(aka, sliders). They were perfectly cooked and perfectly seasoned. We couldn't have burgers without fries so we ordered the pomme frites. For dessert we had the fried Oreos. Usually, we get those at the L.A. County fair and they are on a stick. To accompany our meal, the Mrs. and I shared a bottle of Carmel Hills Pinot Noir. ROUX only serves beer and wine from what I could tell. The service was excellent and so was the setting. I just wondered if ROUX had outdoor dining before COVID because you can't beat the setting. FYI-ROUX is also dog friendly. Paying for your meal is interesting. Cash, Venmo, and Zelle are the only method of payment you can use. No credit cards accepted. I'm assuming this is because of COVID because I can see a lot of flaws in having diners pay by apps. The only real issue I could see was parking. ROUX is located in Carmel Valley Village off of Pilot Road. It is surrounded by tasting rooms and other restaurants. So on a weekend and/or beautiful day, parking is an issue. read more

We came to Roux because it was one of the lunch options for the Wine Trolley Tour we were on. And honestly, I would return here again the next time we visit Carmel. The food, service and vibes were divine! There is a special menu for the Wine Trolley Guest which has a really limited selection but you can always order al carte if you wanted more. Here is what we ordered. Appetizer Sample - 4/5: It came with truffle deviled eggs, yuka fries and chorizo corn dogs. The eggs were my favorite! Vegetarian Pasta - 5/5: OMG! This was beyond delicious! Cheesy, sweet from the butternut squash and comforting. I seriously was skeptical about ordering this but my bf was like, lets give it a try. I am so glad we did! Shrimp Salad - 2/3: Large pieces of shrimp but there was way too much blue cheese. Sangria: The wine trolley special menu gives you a LARGE glass of sangria! The pasta is worth the visit, so yummy! We ran out of time to get dessert but I heard their deep fried oreos are also very good. So if you are doing the wine tour or just visiting town, I recommend checking this place out! read more

We made a trip out to Carmel Valley about 1 week after outdoor dining opened back up. Our intention was to visit Big Sur Vineyards and enjoy lunch from Trailside. Well we were too early for the winery and Trailside had no table for us so my husband got the fantastic idea to have lunch at Roux. I am so glad we did. The owners are so welcoming, the waitstaff friendly and attentive and the food, delicious! The outdoor space is quite cozy. Tables were well spaced and sanitized between guests. I felt comfortable dining here. We started by sharing the caramelized onion soup. It was by far the best onion soup I have ever had the pleasure of tasting. The perfect marriage of onion, broth, baguette and cheese. The cheese was nicely crisped, but still perfectly gooey under the crisp top! I will never share again - I want my own bowl! For lunch, I chose the grilled chicken sandwich which was marinated in Dijon and topped with gruyere, avocado, tomato and bacon. My husband chose the Impossible Burger, subbing a beef burger and adding cheese. It was topped with tomato, red onion, lettuce and chipotle aioli. Both sandwiches were served with pommes frites. Everything was perfectly cooked and delicious. The fries were not the least bit greasy and wonderfully crispy. Our unplanned visit was quite epic. They have a nice selection of wines and are selling the bottles to take home at outstanding prices. I can't wait to go back and try their entrees. I am positive my experience will be just as good and I will have that soup all to myself! Please note - they are not accepting credit/debit cards at this time....cash or Venmo only. read more

Excellent dinner for my wife and I to start our weekend getaway. Would certainly go back when we return to visit the village.

1. Average Food 2.Kinda overpriced 3.Terrible desert and beignets 2.5star is all I can give to this place. The first dinner at Carmel valley for us was at this little cute restaurant. Their wine is good, I loved the Chardonnay. We ordered crab cake and it was just average. I didn't like the excessive amount of carrot in it! We asked for bread three times and they finally told us they are short on bread in kitchen and they can't offer it. At some point another server ended up bringing us some bread to go along with our order of muscles which was really good. The worst part however was the desert. We exactly waited 16min between our dinner and the desert. They kept telling us sorry for the wait and that they are trying to make a fresh crepe and blah blah. And honestly it wasnt worth it at all. Even if they offer it for free I wouldn't get it next time. We were excited about the beignets and they told us we can come back at 8am and have them fresh for breakfast. That's exactly what we did. We came back at 8:30 the next day and they were surprised that we had shown up at that time for beignet. They rushed to a near by place to pick up the beignets. I paid ~$20 for 6 beignets and all I got was 7/11 quality donuts and nothing like NOLA quality beignets. Very disappointed!!! Don't try the beignets. Refer to pics. read more
