TAKE ROUGE OUTSIDE
Whether you’re lounging in our garden, strolling along the Bow, or heading to your favourite local park, Rouge picnics bring chef-crafted elegance to the outdoors.
Perfect for romantic afternoons, solo escapes, or small-group gatherings, our picnic experiences are available for pickup or to enjoy right here in Rouge’s garden. Just bring a blanket – we’ll take care of the rest.
