Chateau Rouge serves West African cooking built through a French fine-dining lens, in a tight, intimate room on South Street. The kitchen's signature dishes include Ndolé, Cameroon's national dish of bitter greens with peanuts and meat, alongside Yassa Chicken and Mixed Suya Brochettes of chicken, beef, and lamb.
It's BYOB, with a mocktail list on hand for the table. Owner Janette Fossungu is known for coming out to greet guests personally, part of a hospitality style diners describe as warm and knowledgeable rather than formal. Indoor seating is limited, with outdoor patio seats available as an overflow.
The restaurant has built a following in Graduate Hospital as a rare sit-down destination for Cameroonian and broader West African cuisine, with many guests returning after their first visit.
