Sunday was Mother's Day in the UK - a different day from the USA. So I and my son and aunty age 90 went to our nearest branch of Cafe Rouge which had sent a Birthday Club voucher for a bottle of Mercier Champagne with a meal. (You register your birthday on line to get the voucher.)
The champagne was terrific. The onion soup was great. The chicken was okay. The mash was fine. The apple tarte tatin was too sugary. The double espresso was good.
Not one waiter or waitress spoke French to us. Italian and a United Nations of languages.
They have gone no smoking at the weekends. Well done, Cafe Rouge.
At times they were very rushed. The waiters were rushing and customers were waiting. C'est la vie.

I do enjoy a post dinner coffee at any of the Cafe Rouge London restaurants, I've not yet been there for a meal but it does sound good.
