Food was good, and the service was excellent. It got very noisy towards the end of the night; beyond the point at which it was difficult to keep up a conversation over the volume of the music. But if that wouldn't bother you, then it's easy to recommend.
Thanks very much for your review!
Wonderful waitress, friendly, great atmosphere and delicious food ... what’s not to like ?
Thanks so much for your lovely review!
Our Burgers were raw and all our meals were cold. Service was excellent however and the staff offered a new burger and two meals were taken off the bill

Amazing venue and lovely food and great service couldn’t ask for better
Thanks so much for those kind words Donna!
Staff were fantastic, friendly and professional. Food was a little cold but still tasty. Live music on a Sunday added to the relaxing ambiance. Will definitely return.
Thanks so much for your lovely review Niamh. We're looking forward to welcoming you back!
I wouldn’t go back there.
The waiter who served our table wasn’t nice.

My family had booked a table for 1.30 pm and when we arrived were given a Brunch menu. The Brunch menu was limited and when we asked for a lunch menu we were told there was none. The website does list a brunch menu and we were not offered a bar menu either. In the end we left as we did not find the staff very accommodating and the menu we received was quite limited. I have been here for drinks before and found it very good and so was incredibly disappointed.
Hi, We're sorry to hear you had a negative experience on your recent visit. We do indeed offer both lunch and brunch but unfortunately, as with most restaurants, we cannot offer both at the same time. Our brunch menu has been devised with the hope that it will cater to a wide variety of tastes so it is unfortunate that the offering did not suit you on this occasion. We hope we will have the opportunity to welcome you back soon for a more positive experience. Best wishes, The Cafe en Seine Team
Brilliant brunch with my family. The staff went out of their way to accommodate my baby girl (11 months). The staff were great and the food was really good. A really good brunch experience.
Hi, Thanks so much for those kind words. We're delighted we could make your brunch extra special! Best wishes, The Cafe en Seine Team
Third time for me in this venue: great food but very poor service. I don’t think the issue is on the floor, the waiters do their best to be helpful. The problem is in the kitchen, the waiting for food is far too long and that’s because the food is not coming out of the kitchen at a decent rate. I cannot fault the food, it’s delicious and well cooked but the quality of the service and the rate at which is managed are two important factors to enjoy a dinner out, especially when it doesn’t come cheap. And there are many other venues in Dublin that serve excellent food with a much much better service. I don’t think I’ll go to Café en Sein for food for a fourth time, I might go there just for drinks.
Hi Andrea, Thanks for taking the time to give us your feedback. We're sorry to hear that you found the service slow on your recent visit.

We hope we will have the opportunity to welcome you back in the near future for an improved experience. Best wishes, The Cafe en Seine Team
Great service and staff - really efficient and friendly. Every member of the team - host , waiter etc were tops. I’m celiac and the menus had plenty options and waiter was so supportive and well informed, he quickly checked options and made it an really easy experience.
The bar is so noisy so the restaurant is a great alternative for a group of people who want to catch up and chat in comfort.
We had the house white which was lovely.
Hi Maura, Thanks so much for your lovely review. We're delighted that you enjoyed your meal so much. We'll look forward to welcoming you back again. Best wishes, The Cafe en Seine Team
My favourite place.. was lovely as always !
Thanks so much for those kind words!
Good food. Excellent location. Nice decor. Friendy staffs
Thanks so much for your lovely review!
Excluding the woman who seated us the service was terrible.
Hi Carol, We're sorry to hear that you were unhappy with the service on your recent visit. Our aim is to offer all of our excellent service so we are taking your feedback seriously and investigating what went wrong on your visit. In the meantime, we hope you will accept our sincere apologies. Best wishes, The Cafe en Seine Team
I really like Café en Seine. However, some of your service personnel nowadays are a bit snotty and your dining area is too loud for elegance. You should place a glass divider between your cocktail bar and your fine dining area. I used to go to your place for the atmosphere of La Belle Epoque but now it is gone. You replaced it with contemporary elegance but what is the deal with the hanging plants in your cocktail area? I certainly don’t want a worm or a piece of dust falling into my cocktail. Otherwise, I do love your place still. Thank you! 🌹👌
Hi Amor, Thank you for your feedback. We're delighted that a loyal customer such as yourself is still such a fan of our venue. We appreciate your thoughts on the venue and would like to note that our plants are actually mummified so you don't have to worry about any worms! We will look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit. Best wishes, The Cafe en Seine Team
Gorgeous setup, atmosphere was really good and the food was so nice. So
Thanks very much for taking the time to review us Sarah.
Had lunch 16th March, Top quality cooking in a really good relaxed atmosphere. Can’t wait to try it for dinner.
Thanks Elaine, we're delighted you had such a good time with us!
Very very over priced. €13 for a mouthful of a cocktail. Service amazing. Food portions very small also
Hi, We're sorry to hear you felt the cocktails were overpriced on your recent visit. Our cocktail menu was created in partnership with the flavour scientists at Crucible London so that we could provide an extremely high end offering that emphasises flavour over quantity so that may go some way to explaining our pricing policy. We hope we will have the opportunity to welcome you back to Cafe en Seine in the near future. Best wishes, The Cafe en Seine Team
Lovely food. Service was excellent. Vibrant bar.
Thanks Daisy!
Amazing food and extremely friendly staff. Only issue was that the drinks took a little while to get to us but food was nice and prompt. Will definitely be returning.
Thanks so much Emily. We'll look forward to seeing you again.
The decor is great. But the food just isn’t all the way there. Our order was messed up and my partner’s meal came with food that wasn’t listed on the menu. He had the grill, I had the pancakes. The pancakes were fine, overall a bit pricey for what you get. Go for drinks, skip the food.
Hi Kate, Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that you weren't impressed with the dining element on your recent visit.

The food was served in inappropriate crockery. I had to ask the waiter for a side plate to put my mussel shells on. Why side plates are removed prior to Main courses being served is a mystery to me. Overall the food was mediocre. The presentation of my starter of beetroot was crude and the beetroot was undercooked - the accompanying goats cheese was minimal. Sea bass was tasty and cooked nicely but on top of a load of mussels and kale just did not work. The wine was unbelievably overpriced.

We had a really great time. Service was exellent. Starter and desert was fab.
Thanks Beata. We're delighted you had such a good time and we will look forward to welcoming you back again!
The chicken dish was lovely, glad we ordered side orders, as the main course portions were quite small. The fish burger was not enjoyed. Service was EXTREMELY slow, even though there was barely anybody there when we arrived - we were there 1 hour before our main course arrived. Based on slow service it is not somewhere we would recommend or go again for lunch - but the food and and surroundings were lovely.

Staff were very attentive and the decor is beautiful. Unfortunately the quality of food for the price was low and quite small portions (you need to order sides with your main dish). There was a leak in the roof too when I was there. I'd probably recommend going in for drinks but not for food

Great service, amazing staff and beautiful ambience. The fish was a little bit too vinagre. But the appetizers were sensational!
Thanks you for that lovely feedback Isabel. We hope we will have the opportunity to welcome you back soon!
Cafe en Seine was recommended to us by a colleague and I will be making the same recommendation to anyone I know traveling to Dublin... decor is great, like a throwback to the 50’s, staff were really friendly and knowledgable about the dishes on offer (we went for the waiters recommendations and weren’t disappointed) and the food was brilliant... next time we’re in Dublin we’ll definitely pay cafe en Seine another visit!
Thank you so much for your lovely review Ash! We'll look forward to welcoming you back!
The Steak dinner was ordered and requested medium rare.Te steak was dry also it was tough.It was a disappointment as a steak is not a complicated meal to get right.The chicken main course was ok.

We were a family group of 6, the service was fantastic, all the staff were friendly, chatting and great to be with. We ordered the burgers and the chicken everybody enjoyed their meal and went away very satisfied . better still the price was very reasonable well done to all at Cafe en Seine
Thanks very much John!
More like a bar than a restaurant. Music was way too loud after ten!

Food and service were very good. I will recommend this restaurant. The dessert (chocolate fondant) was outstanding !
Thanks so much Julie!
Food was very good, nice decor and some staff friendly and professional but one waiter could do with some people skills - abrupt and unsmiling.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback. We're glad to hear you enjoyed your experience for the most part however we are taking your feedback with regard to the unfriendly nature of one of our wait team on board so that we can remedy this issue. We hope we will have the opportunity to welcome you back soon. Best wishes, The Cafe en Seine Team
Thank you to our fabulous waitress Yvette in Cafe en Seine. Great food and even better service, we'll be back.
