Embrace the Unexpected

If there’s one word that best characterizes Rouge—a Valley hidden gem—it’s global. This restaurant/bar provides an exotic escape from the ordinary. It’s the perfect destination for a special night out—whether a romantic date, catching up with friends over cocktails, or simply enjoying exceptional dining with a refreshing vibe.

The newly renovated interior transports guests to Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula with the sensation of a delightful jungle oasis. With four dining rooms, Rouge features a retractable canopy and lounge-style seating amid the international decor. Tribal music and lush greenery boost the sultry sensations.

But the global surroundings don’t stop there. Yucatan-inspired flavors infuse signature cocktails like the Tulum Tonic, Spicy Passionfruit Margarita and Yuzu Mojito.

The fresh ingredients and delectable flavors of California cuisine are elevated by international bites that nod to the Armenian heritage of executive chef Dro Dergevorkian. He focuses on seasonal ingredients—changing the menu frequently to highlight local produce as well as proteins sourced from sustainable farms throughout the United States.

Chef Dro and his executive culinary team craft Rouge’s world-inspired dishes and desserts with artistic detail. Highlighting a variety of shareable plates, the menu satisfies everyone at the table—whether you’re craving a bite, a feast or something in between.

Complementing the food is a wine program with a wide selection of choices from Armenia—one of the oldest wine-producing regions in the world, dating back more than 6,000 years. The Rouge staff enjoys educating guests on the history of the area, its ancient grape varietals and the winemakers of the region.

The space, previously occupied by Kaffe Rouge, has been operated by the Zadoyan family since 2009. After an extensive renovation and concept reinvention, the group opened Rouge in May 2022.

Along with Chef Dro and their staff, the Zadoyan family aims to provide guests with an experience that delights. Rouge’s longtime employees deliver outstanding service while creating lasting relationships with customers.

Rouge also specializes in customized events and parties, featuring several unique settings for a variety of group sizes. A proud member of the community, Rouge is honored to support local organizations, charities and schools.

From eye-catching dishes and celebratory sips to curated private events, the Rouge adventure is captivating guests in the heart of Studio City. Open Tuesday through Sunday, 5 to 11 p.m.
