Reviews
This was my second time visiting Café Insene, and I absolutely loved it once again! The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and very pleasant. A special thank you to Gabriela at the reception and Deva, our waiter, for their outstanding service. They were both incredibly friendly, attentive, and made our experience even more enjoyable. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!
Great atmosphere, very chilled. Service was very good. A nice comfortable place there is a covered outdoor area. We were inside which I prefer. Eggs were good but the side salad was a bit disappointing. Looked as though they had grabbed some leaves out of a salad bag without much care. One or two of the leaves were wilted, no dressing etc.
I visited Café en Seine as an invited guest for a Google concept party, and it was truly a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was absolutely stunning, elegant, lively and very memorable. The interior design, lighting and overall concept created a unique and glamorous feeling, almost like stepping into a different world for the evening. The food was excellent and everything served during the event was delicious and well presented. The service was also outstanding; the staff were professional, attentive and very kind throughout the night. Even though it was a busy event, everything felt well organized and smooth. It is a beautiful place for special events, dinners, celebrations or a stylish night out in Dublin. I really loved the energy, the performance atmosphere and the overall experience. Definitely one of the most impressive venues I visited in Dublin.
Heard great feedback about this place and wanted to stop on Dublin visit. We came early evening before the crowds hit the place. The decor is fantastic and the service was very welcoming and accommodating. Drinks and dessert were excellent. Feels like step back into past luxurious cafe. Loved it.
Parisian-style place to indulge and unwind, blending Art Nouveau-inspired elegance with a lively atmosphere. A perfect spot for a night out, as it transforms into a bar later in the evening, where you can dance. The menu is a mix of French and familiar European dishes—beautifully presented and flavorful. For starters, I had the Celeriac Soup, accentuated with smoked butter, green onion, and ham hock toast—creamy with a filling texture. For the main course: Seabream, grilled gambas, shellfish orzo, confit fennel, cherry tomatoes, and basil, served with bisque sauce—a great choice for seafood lovers, with nicely balanced flavors. I wrapped it up with espresso crème brûlée, chocolate gelato, and sablé biscuit for dessert. There are quite a few interesting signature cocktails on the menu, ranging from inspired classics like spicy margaritas to something more extraordinary, like the Sacré Bleu with egg white, pink berry vodka, and blueberries—a refreshing change from the usual flavors. And, of course, the staff is attentive and welcoming. Go here for brunch, a work-related dinner, a date night, or pop in for late-night drinks with music.
