"Gorgeous restaurant! The food was so delicious our server was incredibly warm and knowledgeable about the best food pairings and flavor combinations. They have a variety of meat and vegetarian options available. I was genuinely blown away by the quality of the meals. It is BYOB but they have some inviting mocktails on the menu as well. The suya wings and plantains were some of the best appetizers I've had in a while. Also highly recommend the yassa Chicken. Incredible addition to South Street's food scene."

"This place is awesome! Went for a date night with my wife and we each got the prix fixe menu, which is definitely worth it if you're up to that much food. We tried a wide variety of things and literally every item was wonderful. Staff is also very friendly and welcoming."

"I've been twice now & each experience was great. Great food, super friendly staff, and the owners are lovely. One of those places that makes you feel cozy & comfortable. It's also BYOB so it's a great place to bring a bottle & have some good food with friends."

"Where do I begin, I went here with a friend and the food was pretty good. Upon entry we were greeted by kind friendly staff members. For a first time experience i enjoyed it, the owner came to my table personally and introduced herself. The environment was clean and well decorated to fit the cultural aesthetic. I highly recommend making a reservation prior to arrival they do have outdoor seating if you find the indoor seating too tight. The space is fairly small."

A'lannah WJune 26th, 2025

"This a rare gem! Authentic Cameroonian cuisine at a dine in restaurant. Janette, the owner, was so friendly. The food was amazing and I loved that the spicy sauce was an add on and not omitted to appeal to those with a milder pallet. BYOB is a plus too. I will be back!"

Angel MorganJune 26th, 2025

"had an amazing dinner at this wonderful French Cameroonian restaurant. We enjoyed the outdoor seating which is really delightful. My party went to the menu. Grill fish is superb and pineapple dessert is a must."

Samantha WulfsohnJune 19th, 2025

"We had a wonderful dinner recently at Chateau Rouge. Our waiter as very knowledgeable. Recommend sitting outside if the weather is good. It was quaint and comfortable. The owner and the chef both came out to visit our table. I love that special engagement. The food was fabulous - apps, entrees, sides and dessert. They are BYOB, but also have a great selection of mocktails. I look forward to many meals there."

Kelly DandradeJune 14th, 2025

"A lovely spot with delicious food and chic, tasteful decor. The service is impeccable and warm; you're welcomed like family. I won't spoil the dishes for you—you'll have to go there to try them! I highly recommend it…"
