Lacking in customer service. If you have no intention of delivering an order communicate that to the patron. You'd think they'd even answer the phone. read more

came here for brunch with my roommate and her sister. It was 11am on a Saturday but only one other group was in the restaurant. I got the bohemian omelette, my roommate got the french toast, and her sister got the huervos rancheros. Overall I thought the food was fine. It took a while for the server to take our order but once he did our food came out quickly. The mimosas were strong and though I didn't get a coffee my friends got cappuccinos and really liked them. Fine lowkey place in the neighborhood. Would be interested to see if it was better in the evening, where they have their family style dinner. read more

Cafe Rue Dix - Omelette Bohemian Mimosa - French Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

My Yelp bud and I were excited to finally meet up again and chose Cafe Rue Dix after browsing at a few places. I arrived a little early and followed the instructions to go to the window for service. I was offered any open table and a server would come out soon. Very nice! I found a a seat in the cute outdoor structure and waited for my friend. They server brought out the tableware and a bottle of chilled, filtered water (thank God, I was so thirsty) and set up the table tent with the QR menu code. The online offerings are far more extensive, there is something for everyone. We were torn between the many delicious looking choices. We ordered drinks and continued to rationalized and deduce our way through the menu. Drink appeared quickly and they were delicious! I went for the Garden de Sengal and she had the Ginger queen. We finally ordered fataya (v), Theibou Djen and the Branzino/Fish Yassa (our server was sweet and bought out a bit of the onions to try first... they were official). The The food came out very quickly, my friend had just taken a bite of her appetizer. We took a bite of the food and let me tell you, it was delicious!!!! We tried saving some for later but it didn't happen. There was a small discrepancy with the bill but it was resolved quickly. I know we'll be back! Note: There is an automatic 12% service charge applied to each bill, please tip the additional amount to bring it up to the standard 18-25%. read more

Stopped in for brunch, food was a bit pricey for what it is but everything was delicious. Do try the Senegalese coffee, spicy and so good. Latte was mediocre, maybe stick with their coffee. read more

One of my favorite Senegalese restaurants in Brooklyn. For appetizers we ordered the calamari, it was nicely fried and the dipping sauce was great. For the main meal we ordered the steak sandwich with salad and fries. Their salad dressing is one of my favorite. I have come here multiple times before and their food has never failed. For dessert we have Beignets, nice and fresh. I would have enjoyed a dipping sauce with the beignets. read more

I heard about Cafe Rue Dix while dream picking at Martine's Dream. I was told if I was looking for flavorful food and good vibes then Cafe Rue Dix was the place to visit. A Senegalese - French restaurant their food packs a punch in flavor. I got their spring rolls which were flavorful and juicy I loved the vermicelli noodles that were inside along with the super delicious meat filling that dipping sauce was also good and all the flavors really work together. I wanted to try some authentic Senegalese fare and tried the theibou Jen. It is definitely very hearty and filling. There is a ton of flavor here from the veggies to the sauce that the fish is covered in. My only qualm is the dark parts in the fish ( also known as the bloodline -due to ruptured blood vessels in the fish ). It's not something I have enjoyed eating and I ended picking it out leaving most of my fish on the dish .My mother would be ashamed as I've always been told this is the best part of the fish and I should consume it. However, i have never been able to get over that strong fishy flavor that those dark parts carry. Other than that the thiebou jen is really delicious. Perhaps on my Next visit I'll see if I can request a piece of fish with minimal blood line. But I will definitely be back to try other dishes and their coffee which I have heard is also legendary. read more

We ordered takeout from here last night and was very disappointed. We ordered the lamb chops, yassa guinar (stewed chicken), and "hearty" spiced African stew along with beignets. The lamb chops were extremely thin and too salty to eat and the vegetable stew had a consistency closer to a thin tomato-based vegetable soup like minestrone with added vegetables. The chicken was decent but only contained a small thigh and drumstick. The beignets were dense and thinly coated in powdered sugar. They had a texture similar to unrisen chewy cake donuts and honestly I tossed these after tasting one. I flew into NY from New Orleans two days ago and these were nothing close to beignets. Overall, of the four items we ordered only two were edible so definitely not going back. read more

I was a first time visitor to cafe rue dix, and had never tried Senegalese food prior. What an introduction! Everything we tried was delicious, from the drinks to the mains, to dessert. I had the baobab juice, and the thiebou jen, which the menu said was the national dish of Senegal. The fish was cooked so well and the jollof rice was so flavorful. The side vegetables were also cooked perfectly. The atmosphere was inviting and our waitress was very attentive and helpful when explaining menu items and recommending dishes. Will definitely be back! Vegan Perspective: I am the vegan of the group and Cafe Rue Dix is a great place to come if you have dietary restrictions. I ordered a side of plantains, the ginger queen drink, and Attiéké Bowl. I was pleasantly surprised with how many options I had when trying to order. The menu was clearly marked with vegan, vegetarian, and other options. The plantains were perfect and the drink was so tasty, definitely one of the better ginger cocktails I have had. The Attiéké Bowl was so flavorful and I loved the onion dressing. The atmosphere was great and the place is so cute inside. The service was excellent, we were a large group of 12 queers and they were very kind and on top of our many different orders. I will definitely return to try brunch and the vegan stew! read more

There's a greater then 50/50 chance we just didn't know what to order here. We had delivery... chicen stew, beef stew, leg of duck, etc. It was ah-OK, decent food. For the price I'd say there are better options in the area. But like I said, maybe we just didn't know what we were doing when we ordered. We know nothing about Senegalese food. read more

some have said this place is full of rue dix, but I think the service is AMAZING! I LOVE the theirbouu jen and the chicken yasssss b. gave my little cousin jimother mahiney some of it. it's got the dope cozy atmosphere that makes me want to kick my shoes off ( i did and they told me to put them on LOL). I also got the lamb shank which fell off the bone so fast I almost got .. excited. read more

I came here on a Sunday evening for dinner. I was excited to try Senegalese food. You have to order everything at the window and then you can sit at any of their outdoor dining tables and they bring everything out to you. Their prices are mid-high range with each entree being between $20-30 and cocktails about $12. They automatically charge a 12% service fee so our two entrees and two drinks came out to $84. The service left a bit to be desired as our cocktails came after our entrees and we had to ask for more water and still required more than we got. As for the food, I got the lamb chops which were the thinnest sliver of meat I've ever had. It tasted good and came with maybe a half cup of couscous, con fit onions and plantains. The plantains seemed out of place in the dish but again everything tasted good but not particularly like the cuisine of a certain country and definitely not work 20 something dollars. read more

Decided to give this place a try for brunch. Really cute little French Senegalese spot in crown heights. My friend and I ordered the steak sandwich and the Green Eggs along with coffee and hibiscus juice. We went around 2 pm on a Saturday, so I was worried that there would be a wait, like most places, but luckily there was no wait and we got seated immediately, which was awesome. The ambience is very cute, but quite tiny, so probably won't be a great idea for big groups. Also the menu had very few items to choose from, at least for brunch. However the food was delicious Really enjoyed my steak sandwich and my friend enjoyed her green eggs. The service overall was pretty good. It's a very laid back atmosphere. I would definitely like to go back to try their dinner menu. read more

Cafe Rue Dix - Brunch was delicious - French Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

The food was incredible. tried the mafe (stewed beef with peanut sauce) which was so tender and its sauce was not very peanut buttery at all, I think it was tomato based and was so rich and complex. I also tasted the thieboudienne which was also similarly tender and juicy and would please any seafood lovers/those who like more dank and fishy dishes. Very very nice. I had the tuna burger which was well cooked but I would have preferred a more hearty bun. Overall, the food was great. HOWEVER, I think they were short staffed that night or something because our server rarely checked on us and some of our items arrived late/or never came at all. It was kind of hard to find service when we wanted to order dessert or ask for things! Overall I definitely want to return to try out the rest of the menu but maybe will be going on a weekday night read more

WEAR A MASK! PRACTICE SOCIAL DISTANCING! FLATTEN THE CURVE!!! DONATE PLASMA IF YOU'RE ANTIBODY POSITIVE. DON'T DRINK/INJECT BLEACH. SUPPORT #BLM PROTESTERS. SUPPORT MINORITY-OWNED BUSINESSES. SUPPORT YOUR LGBTQIA BROTHERS AND SISTERS! With so many food blogs and IG accounts making it easy to identify Black-owned businesses in Brooklyn, I was reminded that I had been wanting to order from Cafe Rue Dix for a while. No better time than the present! Be warned that you have to go through Caviar, which is... fine. If you need a Caviar $20 off promo/referral coupon code for NYC, you can use mine: https://trycaviar.app.link/vEN553ecF7 Anyway, I went with some of the most highly recommended items - the Theibou Jen, gambas a la plancha, and the beef fataya. I've never had Senegalese food before, but I was a fan! Really hoping to explore more African cuisine (my palate so far has been limited to Ethiopian and South African). The Theibou Jen is the national dish of Senegal, so of course I had to give that a try. It's a red snapper stew red with veggies over rice. Be sure to stir it up because there's a little ball of (what I assume was) tamarind paste to cut through the flavors. I accidentally took a bite of it, and it was sour! The stew was nice and hearty. Healthy chunks of fish (watch out for bones though), and loaded with veggies. Great over rice (which was a very short-grain seasoned jollof rice, I think). The gambas (shrimp) were gigantic. I assume tiger shrimp? Really showing my ignorance of African cuisine here, I know. Cooked perfectly with head on and everything (that's where the flavor is!). Served in a sauce with a mild kick. Five to an order was plenty! And lastly, I got the beef Fataya, which for frame of reference, is kind of like an empanada. It was good, but the Scotch bonnet sauce on the side really did the heavy lifting on the flavors. And holy crap, was it spicy. I've always been a fan of Scotch bonnet sauces (like Queen Majesty's), but this sauce knocked me on my butt! All in all, a very delicious meal (that lasted for two days). Go show them some love! read more

Visiting from Chicago and met a friend here. Very good food and great customer service!

Ordered the Omelette Bohemian and it was the best breakfast I've ever had -- absolutely love this place.

We had to wait over forty five minutes for our appetizer... in the cold (no heaters). Still, it was delicious: crunchy empanadas with a spicy dipping sauce. We also had some super-Smokey grilled kale and the spiced African stew with apricots and chick peas, which were both great. The check comes with a surprise 12% service charge, which really should be pro-actively explained by the server. Apparently, it's a minimum tip that many diners may not notice. Does not feel honest to me. read more

One of my favorite places in the world! LOL... seriously though, the food is great and I always end up having the best conversation with the people who are at the bar or my server. The place feels so wonderful, like home... I always leave here feeling wonderful and I always look forward to going again! read more

This place is nothing short of extraordinary. It has good coffee, a good bar, a good atmosphere, and affordable & amazing food. I've been multiple times and every time I'm blown away by the quality and flavor of the dishes I ordered. The Mafe plate was huge and I enjoyed it for lunch and dinner the next day! This is a spot I want to come back to again and again to try as much of the menu as I can, which is something I don't say often. I agree with the other reviewers that the dynamic with the staff is sometimes awkward and hard to read. The servers themselves are chill, but I wish I had some more clear signals of like "You can call for me if you need me, or just wave," or something else. read more

Excellent food!! This was my first time trying Senegalese food and I loved it! I would suggest you go on a Wednesday just like my boyfriend and I did because they have a prix fix menu on Wednesdays and you can get an appetizer, entree, and dessert for $32. Totally worth it! I loved everything about my meal. I ordered the beef fataya as an appetizer and I really enjoyed it. It's just like an empanada. I didn't try the sauce it came with, but my boyfriend did and he warned me that it was super spicy. For my entree I ordered the Dibi Senegal (lamb chops), which comes with a serving of rice and fried sweet plantains. It was delectable. For dessert I got the creme brûlée and it was delicious, but the portion is huge so don't expect to finish it! I'm not complaining though because I love sweets. Overall I really loved the food here and I'd definitely recommend and come back to try more of their food. I heard they have good brunch selections so that's on my to-do list. I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 because the music was really loud and I felt like I had to yell at my boyfriend the entire night and also the restaurant is really dark so you can't really see your food well. I loved the music selection here (Afro beat), the only thing is they should turn down the volume a little. read more

Worst Experience Ever A colleague made reservations for our team to have our end of the year celebration at Cafe Rue Dix. When we arrived, our table was not ready. When we were finally seated, the waiter was busy at the bar flirting with two female customers and couldn't be bothered to take our drink order. It was also very cold and drafty in the restaurant. Due to poor customer service and the fact that we were freezing, we decided to leave. The restaurant charged my colleague $70 and said it was because we canceled our reservation, which was an untruth. We didn't cancel, we left due to poor service and atmosphere. Do not waste your money at this establishment. I don't care how tasty the food is, the management and staff treat their customers horribly. read more

This little Senegalese-French restaurant is one of my favorite eateries in town. I love it so much I fear one day it'll go the way of so many other gems in the city due to crushing rents. Everyone, please go spend your hard earned dollars here. Here is where fantastic, make-your-tastebuds-explode kind of memories are made. Start with Fataya, a flaky meat pie described on the menu as an empanada, which it basically is. I always spring for the veggie version, which comes with a delicious spicy pesto sauce that spikes the richly flavorful filling in the most satisfying way. Don't get overly ambitious with the sauce though, it's definitely on the higher end of the spiciness scale. I also recommend trying the Tiebou Jenn, a traditional Senegalese dish made with stewed fish, yucca, eggplant, carrots, peppers and cabbage over brown rice. The vegetables and fish have soaked up a deeply flavorful broth. Even the brown rice is so savory and spicy that I always go back to my plate for another spoonful, long after I'm uncomfortably full. There's an apt Cantonese phrase that translates to "My belly is full, but my mouth and mind are not yet full." It's basically the opposite of the sentiment in the song "Bump N' Grind" which I realize I'm not supposed to reference anymore. Moving on... On the menu you can also find your usual French fare, like tuna tartare and Moules Frites, but I'd come back for the Senegalese dishes every time. The ambience is very cozy, and the music is always playing at a comfortable volume. I can easily see this being a date night spot or a place to catch up with an old friend. Cafe Rue Dix, you're perfect in every way. read more

Even in the hottest days of July, there's no AC. The entire space opens the windows and doors so that the wind blows through this shady corner restaurant, and I am then transported to the continent of Africool. I've never had Senegalese food before Cafe Rue Dix and now, on warm summer weekends, brunch here is always my top suggestion. Service is cool and laid back and the food comes hot and quick. My go-to fave is the Omelette Bohemian for Brunch. It's packed with goat cheese and mushrooms and comes with a side of their delicious salad. When I am not so much of an early bird and make it for lunch instead, I get the goat cheese and beet salad. Still delicious because of their dressing. I've never asked what's in it because sometimes you have to leave good and well alone. Their grilled tiger shrimp, the Gambas a la Plancha, are out of the world. Out of this world. These shrimp are large and in charge and come packed in a group of five drizzled with the tastiest of sauces, this one a little spicier than the one they use for the dressing. I can't wait to try the whole menu. I've been quite a few times and have only had issues with slow service once, but they still get five stars because the food is THAT good. Allons y! read more

This restaurant has a lot to offer! It features Senegalese French fusion food. Think a rich stews with decadent sauces and some familiar favorites like calamari and burgers nestled into the menu! They currently are offering indoor and outdoor seating. It was a rainy Saturday when we went so we opted for indoor. Seems like most folks had the same idea as inside was bustling and lively. We ordered two traditional Senegalese dishes one with beef and couscous the other with rice and fish. The portions were hearty! Food was tasty and seasoned really well! There: also is a sister store next door that sells one of a kind clothes and accessories. Taking off one star bc our table was sticky and when we asked for it to be wiped off the waiter told us it was the varnish (??). Will check my table next time before sitting down! read more

Had brunch here this morning after a spin class nearby, amazing! The food was so incredible, I got the croquettes duck confit, it's the perfect breakfast. It came with a huge salad that was seasoned perfectly and a dipping sauce that to me tasted like it has scotch bonnet, but I could be wrong! Our drinks were also amazing. I had a jardin de Senegal which was perfect for brunch, but they also have an amazing selection of teas and really great coffee! Can't wait to go back for dinner. read more

I'm a huge fan. I recently came to this place with two of my girlfriends. What a treat! We actually sat inside for the great ambiance and music playing, but then we moved to the outside seating to have more room on the table because we ordered so much food. Literally everything on the menu sounded amazing. If you have a craving for a braised beef stew, or fish or a refreshing take on spring rolls, this place is on the money. There was not one appetizer or shared main course that we did not like. The flavors and textures were quite different. I think we were just dipping everything in every type of dip or sauce there was because of the interesting flavor journey we were on. Service was also wonderful, the staff were kind and also seemed to have jumped straight out of Paper Mag. What a cool spot, and it's right by my friend's apt :) read more

A friend and I decided to get dinner at Cafe Rue Dix on a Saturday evening. I actually had not heard about the place prior but just searched restaurants near the area that had great reviews. Cafe Rue Dix caught my attention being that it was a French-Senegalese restaurant and I hadn't been to too many west African restaurants in the area. I got the Rue Dix burger and shared a side of plantains and the food was absolutely delicious. When I come back I definitely want to try more of the traditional cuisines since everything on the menu looked tasty. I really like the ambience inside; it was dimly lit with candles and Madvilliany in the background. The servers were also very nice and attentive. It is a smaller spot so if you plan to bring a group try to get there before peak dinner time. read more

What a great, cozy eatery! This place is great for a date or catching up with a few close friends, which is what brought me here. Cafe Rue Dix has a cozy, intimate setting with just enough lighting to see your food and date lol. Easy to find location too! I had a wonderful time here. The food and drinks were delicious! I had two Jardin de Senegal's after seeing a picture of it from a fellow Yelper. I knew I had to have it and boy did it not disappoint! If it weren't $12 a piece I would've had five lol. Bursting with flavor, it is the perfect balance of sweet and sour and the addition of the basil is the perfect touch. As an entree I ordered the Spicy Stew chicken dish (forgot the proper name of it). It was a large portion that could have been shared by two, but of course I ate all of it lol. It was so delicious and definitely spicy! My friends also enjoyed their meals. We really loved this place and it had been on my friend's Yelp bookmark list for a while. So happy we found this gem.

Came here for my lunch with my best friend. This place is intimate, so I wouldn't suggest it for more than a group of four. The service was great. The waiter gave great recommendations and even provided options on how to make a spicy dish less spicy. For an appetizer we had the Senegalese spring rolls. They were really tasty and had a nice kick. I had the Mafe, which is a spicy beef stew in a peanut sauce, over a bed of rice. The dish was tasty and very filling. The dish was not as spicy as I expected it to be. My best friend had the Yassss Guninar, which is roasted chicken with onion stew over a bed of rice. She enjoyed her meal but I believe the chicken could have used more flavor. But I will admit I did not try the onion stew and the chicken together. Overall, I would come here again. The food was tasty and the service was great. If you don't like spicy foods, they do have other options. read more

Very impressed by the brunch meal my friend and I had here. We got there ready to eat and started off with the Senegalese Spring rolls. Made fresh to order so they're piping hot (watch your tongue). These are delicious, with a mix of savory & sour, crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. We ordered 3 brunch entrees: kale cupcakes, green eggs and salmon, and French toast. Can't judge the kale cupcakes as that was my friend's entree and I wasn't interested. But it came with this hot sauce (pepper sauce to me), that literally needs a warning on the menu. It's HOT AF. Beware. Greens eggs and salmon is a play on the salmon Benedict (my fave) with a nice spicy sauce on top and smashed avocado underneath. Last but not least the French toast. Hands down best French toast I've EVER had. It comes with this vanilla sauce instead of syrup. Light crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Legit mouth heaven. I'm def coming back to get the French toast then stick around to try the dinner menu. read more

YA'LL, I'M REALLY MAD... AT MYSELF FOR NOT GOING HERE SOONER! Beebs and I have been meaning to try this place in Crown Heights for a while but for some reason, we waited until last Wednesday to try it. Turns out that on Wednesday nights they have a "Taste of Senegal" menu that offers a 3-course prix fixe for $32 dollars. Pretty good price and if you keep reading, you'll understand it's so worth it! It's a small (make a reservation!) and beautifully decorated space that also has a full bar and coffee area. We were seated right away at a table. The tables are close together so if you want to be isolated, this is not for you. We had plenty of space because it was the day before Thanksgiving but I can see this place easily being packed any other time. They have a beer and wine menu but also some interesting cocktails. I really liked mine and would be down to try the others. So this is what I really liked about the prix fixe option- for $32 dollars, each person gets three courses. Not pay $32 each and share an app, have your own entree and share a dessert. Each person gets their choices and they are full sized ones! For our first course, I had the beef Fataya, which are spicy empanadas served with a side of Senegalese hot sauce and Beebs had the Senegalese Spring Rolls, spicy vermicelli beef & shrimp rolls over kale leaf. LORDDDD, these empanadas and the hot sauce, BOMB. I immediately was kicking myself for putting this place off for so long. If you don't like spicy food boo for you but if you do, get some and save me one. The spring rolls were delicious and crunchy. They came with this beautifully tangy sauce that upped the flavor. The second course, we had the Thiebou Jen which is stewed fish and vegetables over rice. It's known as the "National plate of Senegal". A simple composition of items that are not over the top but the dish was done so well- great flavor, good portion and fresh. We also had the Dibi Senegal, which is grilled lamb chops, onion confit and sweet plantains, served with rice. OOOO these lamb chops were so juicy and tender. Please just get them! For the third course, Creme Brulee and Caakiri, couscous pudding topped with shaved almonds. Both were divine and the perfect way to end a fantastic meal. Don't be like me. If you are reading this, go ASAP. Bye! read more

My friend has only said good things about this place and I was finally able to go with him. I've been to their attached store, Marche Rue Dix, before -- got an excellent, luxurious bath bomb -- so I knew to expect quality food and a quality experience. I was not disappointed. For indoor dining during the pandemic, you have to reserve online in advance. For outdoor dining, which I prefer, you can just show up, order at the window, and take a seat in their heated outdoor space. My friend and I both ended up ordering the same thing for an entree: the Dibi Senegal. Grilled lamb chops, onion confit, sweet plantains, and a choice of rice or couscous (I decided to try couscous). We also had a pot of tea to share (chose the green goddess tea, a blend of green tea, strawberry, raspberry, and rhubarb) and finished the meal of with the beignets. Everything was splendid. The texture of the onion confit and crunchiness of the sweet plantains paired well with the savory notes of lamb chops. My only substitution would likely be to get the rice next time; I was missing that sturdier, starchier texture in the couscous. The tea was fruity and mellow and I'd definitely recommend, and the beignets hit just right at the end. The food came out rather quickly and it was, overall, a great dining experience during the pandemic. It wasn't too crowded when we were there since it was a weeknight. I loved coming over for dinner but could also easily see myself coming back for tea and snacks as well. That gold teapot was a great centerpiece to adorn a memorable meal. read more
