My husband and I dine at cafe Rendezvous on a weekly basis. It is a small cafe, but generally has an extensive menu, and a specials board which changes every week.

The staff were friendly and efficient, we would...

The food looked very nice and we subsequently returned to take-away some of their scrumptious looking cake, which didn't disappoint. The Orange and Almond gluten-free 'cake' we had was head and shoulders the best we had all week. I say 'cake' because it was moist enough to be a pudding. No doubt we'll go back to takeaway some more of their confectionery when we return to D&G next year. As a footnote, it looks a lot better on the inside as the photograph would suggest - even if they don't...
