Chateau Rouge

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.

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.

Amazing dinner at Chateau Rouge. Food from Cameroon with French influence. Deep flavors and well crafted dishes. Desserts were absolutely killer! Prix fix for $55. Everything was delicious. BYO. Brought rum to go with mocktails

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!

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.

Yeah, I've got a new place I can't live without smdh. First off, the decor is tasteful, authentic and vibrant. There's items there that I have in my own home that add to the ambiance, and the music inside is fantastic while the outdoor seating in the back is more serene than you ever thought South Street could be. To make things simple, we got the 4 course dinner each: I went with the pastelles, the branzino, the rice with peanut sauce and the chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream to finish it. The Mrs had the wings, the lamb/beef/chicken brochette with mashed sweet potatoes and banana flambeee for dessert. I haven't been this impressed by restaurant I've never been to in a LONG time. Found them randomly on Google and I hope to God you find it to so you can enjoy this place as much as I do. A+ Establishment!!

I cannot recommend this place enough. When we walked in we were greeted by the most sweet staff I have ever encountered. They helped carry in our stroller and gave us a table to spread out. We had our two month old baby who was walked around by the staff (not sure if he was the chef or owner or an employee) and kept happy while my husband and I looked over the menu. We were introduced to the owner who said her nephew worked there. It seemed like an entire family affair. I unfortunately can't have dairy and almost nothing on the menu contained dairy which was amazing! The food was so so yummy and the $55 tasting menu was a great value. Make sure to get the red beans side, my husband and I ordered a second. Also, who doesn't love a BYOB?! I've lived nearby for a while and am SO HAPPY to see high end, well priced, unique food in the neighborhood! I love Sidecar, Ten Stone, and Dock Street but we were in need of variety and this is it! (Illata was also a great addition) Chateau Rouge is helping Graduate Hospital and is doing so in such a neighborly way.

This was the cutest little spot with tasty authentic food. My favorites were the plantains, homemade juices and lamb skewers. Definitely spring for the pre fix menu so that you can try the wings and the dessert in addition to your main course. The interior design and the service were also great. The owner was giving our group of young men french lessons. If you enjoy trying new cuisine, add this one to your list!

The food and the service were superb. The flavors are so different yet not spicy hot so it made it a very pleasant experience. Jeannette the owner stop by the table and made everyone at the table feel welcome with her hospitality so typical of Cameron. Well done!

A welcome addition to the neighborhood. Flavorful grilled meat and delicious drinks. Beautiful decor and attentive, warm staff (and owner). My first introduction to Cameroonian cuisine and hospitality and I was very impressed! BYOB for now.

My boyfriend and I stumbled onto this gem for a date night, and it did not disappoint! The food was phenomenal, and the service was out of this world. We spoke with both the owner and chef, who were extremely attentive and kind! I also loved the interior decor. The vibes are very cozy, and you can tell the staff put a lot of care into curating a good experience for the customers. As for the food, my boyfriend said "it's one of the best meals he's had in Philly." The suya wings were definitely the standout dish. We also got yassa chicken, the misole, and banane flambé, all of which were great. I really like plantains, and the misole was cooked so well. Overall a great find!

I like everything about this place it's beautifully decorated. The service is excellent and the food is unique and flavorful. When I entered, I was immediately greeted and seated. I had my choice of tables. Once seated, the owner and Chef both came out to say hello and went over suggestions. I ordered the tasting menu, it was well worth the price. The wings have great flavor and texture The dipping sauce was fabulous. It's a great value when you have the tasting menu, but if purchased as an appetizer it's overpriced for the amount of wings you receive. (I wings to go). But don't let that discourage you. The Yassa chicken had a good flavor however, it should fall off the bone and it did not. It was not as tender as it should've been it did not live up to my expectations or past experience elsewhere. I also had the ratatouille vegetables, they were absolutely divine, the yams were too stringy, but had a nice flavor. For dessert I had banana flambee it was plated nicely and delicious. Would I go again? Absolutely!

Very nice, comfortable spot. The service was friendly and the food was good. The grilled chicken was tender and flavorful, with the flavor/seasoning being mild. They offer the option of additional sauces that can be added to season it further. I chose the peanut sauce, which was good. The sides were also tasty, which mild seasoning.

Had a wonderful meal at family-owned and run, BYOB Château Rouge! Currently offering prix fixe meals, our 4-top was excited to try almost every dish offered. Some of our favorites were: - Tuna Pastel (flaky pastry filled with tuna and spices, served with dipping sauce)--not fishy and also the dipping sauce was the favorite of the night! - Suya Wings (6 grilled wings marinated in Cameroonian Suya seasoning) - Misole (golden crispy plantain slices, lightly salted)--why do our homemade plantains never turn out like this?! - BH "Beignet Haricot" (tender red beans simmered in tomato sauce with garlic and herbs, served with rice)--incredibly delicious and comforting. - Yassa Poulet (chicken sauteed with onions and fresh lemon juice, served with Dijon mustard sauce)--loved the accompanying veggies! - House fruit salad--the pureed passion fruit was divine! We'll have to return to try more offerings--they'd just served their last available Banana Flambee, so that's a "start with" item next time! Welcome to Graduate Hospital, Château Rouge!

Great staff, great food. Outdoor and indoor seating, comfy vibes. Great selection on mocktails for a BYOB business. Highly recommend and look forward to our next visit

We really enjoyed our dinner at Chateau Rouge. Such a beautiful atmosphere and the food was really special. Highly recommend the prix fix menu. The Grilled Branzino was amazing, with white Rice and Ratatouille. Will definitely return.

Phenomenal. Small, intimate restaurant with great service and very friendly. I love coming here for a dinner with my fiancé. If you're looking for something original and very tasty I cannot recommend Château Rouge highly enough!

Beautiful interior. Great food friendly staff. Great outdoor space. Something different

All of the food was delicious including whole grilled legado fish, which I had not previously heard of. Very pleasant atmosphere, reasonably priced!

Amazing food ambiance service. I can't wait to experience another dish. Highly recommend..yah dig

A happy accident! Went searching for Moroccan food and Chateau Rouge came up. Menu looked delicious and it was. Highly recommend the prix fixe menu. Perfect portions and a nice balance of choices. The owner, Jeannette, came out to greet us and told us about the idea behind the restaurant: a blending of Cameroonian and French cuisine. Delightful! A little loud for my taste but still a friendly atmosphere. Would definitely go back--especially for a birthday or special dinner.

Small family owned restaurant. Hidden gem. Parisian chef with African touches. Had the restaurant week tasting menu. Lovely ambiance and very welcoming and warm people. Lamb kebab was a favorite. Delicious sauces.

Had a wonderful meal at Chateau Rouge. It's French & West African. I especially liked the whole grilled fish (poison braissé) and the Suya spiced chicken wings. Service was terrific.

The food was so flavorful, uniquely delicious, and comforting. The staff are so welcoming and the ambiance is amazing. I will 100% come back and recommend. The prices are reasonable and the plates are very filling. Don't walk, but run to the beautifully curated restaurant.
