La Roux Cafe - Plymouth

What an amazing hidden gem. A superb little bar where you will always be sure of a warm welcome and a cold cocktail. Kevin (the owner) is a brilliant host and loves to chat away with his guests. All the cocktails are made from scratch- no pre mixers here thank you. If cocktails aren’t your thing they also serve teas and coffees and a pretty good bacon sandwich. Also have a fantastic little sun trap outside, great for the summer- if it appears. So head on down to Portico- I’m confident to say you won’t be disappointed. We certainly weren’t and will definitely be visiting there many more times.

Came in for coffee and bacon sandwich deal . Superb coffee served really hot Jamie gleefully Tod us that they were voted in top ten coffee houses in Plymouth !! Well deserved !!!

Decided to try La Roux for lunch, did not realise how small the place was. I would say you could seat at least 12-14 people in there. They do have outdoor seating areas. The lunch menu is limited and not much to choose from. Although a small place, no table service.

We hadn't been to La Roux in a couple of years, but decided to return on a Saturday evening after having a good experience there in the past. Unfortunately, we were disappointed this time around. It seems that the restaurant has changed management or ownership since our last visit, as the standards seemed to have declined. The outdoor seating area, flower beds, and plastic barriers were all dirty and in need of replacement. The old menus had been scribbled over with pen. While the prices had been lowered, the quality of our cocktails had also decreased. I ordered a pornstar martini, 2 for 12.95, but could barely taste the alcohol and it didn't taste right. There were no prosecco shots on the side. My husband had 2 cherry bombs for 10.00, but they also lacked alcohol and tasted more like a children's fruit drink. Unfortunately, we won't be returning to La Roux anytime soon.

I recently attended a private party with family and friends at La Roux. The venue was the perfect size for our group and the staff were fantastic - they went above and beyond to accommodate us. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.
