An epicentre of Parisian culture dining and creativity.

 

On a rather drab and cold Dublin day there was no place better to lift our spirits than Café en Seine. Just what the doctor ordered on the cold December afternoon. Well prepared wholesome food, provided in a warm, welcoming, chic setting.

 

On arriving you are immediately immersed in a grand art nouveau salon. Spread over three floors with Doric columns and glass paneled ceilings, I imagine a visit at any time of the year would leave any guest already impressed. Beyond the architectural beauty of this, from the outside, modest gem, it was clear to us that there had been a great deal of effort made to apply the appropriate festive trimming for the season. The garlands, fairy lights and other decorations were truly delightful.

 

We took our seats in the back of the restaurant, through a largely camp curtain, where the tables we’re suited more to dining than the high tables and stools of the salon. Still feeling very plush the area we were seated had a much lower ceiling, a feel which was a lot cosier than the more open spaces of the venue. Although the lighting throughout does create a very intimate and romantic ambience.

 

The waiter was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable of the menu and maintained a good balance of being informative and friendly without imposing on our meal.

 

The Appetiser

Buffalo Wings with Cucumber and Blue Cheese Mayo and Soup du Jure (vegetable) served with home made Brown Bread.

 

Entrée

Lunch special, and a steal at only €10.00

Confit of Duck Leg served on a bed of Dauphinois with Red Cabbage and Gravy.

 

All around well presented and delicious. Drinks were a little more expensive than I would have expected as we only had soft drinks, the starters were reasonably priced for the portion size and quality. On the whole I would say that including the ‘Lunch Special’, Café en Seine offers a great dining experience, great value for money and adequately appeased our appetites without leaving us feeling overdone.

This Elegant art nouveau bar, offers an exceptional quality dining experience, hosted in a unique and comforting setting by a well informed service team. If you’re looking for somewhere to lunch, perhaps a location for the perfectly romantic dinner date or even a drink after a day in the office, Café en Seine is guaranteed to give you an experience you’ll never forget.

A must for all food and drink lovers. You will be looking for your next excuse to visit.
