You can't have missed the beautiful, small glass palace halfway up Holywell Hill, but you may have thought 'that's just another Cafe Rouge'. This may be true, but it's worth a visit, and it's probably the best of the bunch. The setting works very well. Originally a horticultural building owned by the same Mr Ryder who founded the Ryder Cup (useless bit of trivia for you), it's been transformed into a light and airy glassy restaurant with a strangely traditional Gallic feel. Our service was excellent and we certainly ate (and drank) well. The Toulouse sausage and moules went down well as main courses, and we also enjoyed a tasty chocolate cake and creme brulee for pudding. The 'prix fixe' set menus are good value in these cost-conscious times too, so it won't hit your pocket too hard. Recommended. [May 09]
