      Talk about posh! This place was stunning with good bar service by our bartender Victor, good music, great ambience and a good vibe to it. It can be casual or dressy depending on your mood or the occasion, seeing as a lot of tourist come in there. The decor was top tier and sexy! I will definitely come back here when in Dublin.

      Cafe en Seine was recommended by a former local. It is a hip joint with high ceilings and elegant appointments. It gets very busy around Friday after work hours; many of the young women who come here take pains to look their best, but frumpy tourists are also cheerfully welcomed. Dinner menu is fairly limited and skews American; quality of what I tried was pretty good. It can take a while to get service when they are slammed, but the bartender acknowledged my existence while admitting that he wouldn't be serving for a while, for which I give partial credit. Close to five stars; would bump them up for a broader menu and less waiting for drinks.

      A breath of fresh air in Dublin, Cafe en Seine is a beautifully decorated, airy space with a convenient location near the city center. There was plenty of seating in the restaurant and indoor courtyard, and even the bathrooms were nicely decorated.

      For such upscale decor and food presentation, I was pleasantly surprised that the prices were pretty affordable still. I got the Hash Brown Eggs Royale which were a delicious combination of lox, eggs and hollandaise sauce atop a hash brown.

      The service was also pretty friendly, but the ambiance and food are what made this a 5 star experience.

      This place is gorgeous! I came here only for drinks. The bartender was super friendly and made my friend and I custom drinks to our liking. The drinks were fantastic. This place is massive, it's just fun walking around the whole area.

      Stopped in to get out of the cold and enjoy some apps and drinks. Great beautiful atmosphere with plenty of seating and a covered open space. The service was reasonable but a little hit or miss when it started to pick up. Plenty of delicious food and tasty drinks that made an amazing impression on my trip!

      What a pleasant spot to relax for lunch in the most hectic area of town. Did not expect the open air dining room so a great spot to watch the rain pass. Service was perfectly French and all the food was delightful.

      Cafe En Seine is such a lovely restaurant you MUST put this spot on your brunch/lunch itinerary when in Dublin. And pro tip: make a reservation! We tried to walk in twice and we're turned away for reservations, so by the second day we were smart and had finally made a reservation and were seated no problem. This spot gets busy and booked for good reason.

      The decor and ambiance of this restaurant is really so cute. Depending where you get seated you get a totally different feel. We sat inside but close to the patio and it was lovely, covered from the hot sun but cozy and relaxing the little high top booth we were given. The outdoor seating is really the prettiest spot to dine. Trust me and you'll see yourself, super cute and outdoor bar as well.

      Service was a little hit and miss to be honest. We waited awhile for our order to be taken but other then that they got on top of it for the rest of the meal. I think it's luck of who you get as a server. The couple next to us waited at least 15 minutes for their check but then our waitress was different from their table and we got it right away. I would prefer consistency when giving 5 stars BUT the food and atmosphere really made up for my one little negative observation.

      The menu has a good variety. Something for everyone. The dish I wish I would have gotten were the mussels in the butter broth. I can tell you they smelled amazing and most tables had them.

      What I did have and LOVED was the French dip sandwich. It was heavenly. Super rare and delicious how I asked for it/like it. The bread was uber soft and fresh. And the au jus + horseradish sauce made this meal a 10/10.

      We asked a local where one of his favorite restaurants was in Dublin and he quickly said this spot so we had to come and so happy we did. He urged us that the cocktails were frilly & delicious, paired with a solid meal. He was spot on and you have to try this restaurant when your in town.
