Tennis has a certain appeal for the type of woman who likes to continue wearing her dark glasses indoors. If you've ever fancied yourself as the Princess of Wales, the Cafe Rouge will provide the sort of unthreatening cosmopolitan background you need. The staff wear their aprons with good grace and are flirtatious without dipping into over-familiarity, and their steak baguette is the stuff on which carnivores' dreams are made. Open 10am for breakfast; lunch 12 noon to 4pm, snacks and drinks 'til 6pm, then dinner. Licensed all day for brandy with sugarlumps and a discreet laugh at the other half.
Cafe Rouge, 26 Wimbledon High St SW19 (081-944.5131)
