"Cafe Rue Dix mixes a great amount of West African heritage with fine French cuisine to create something truly delightful. From their confit to the brunch-favorite "kale cupcakes" to the fataya, Rue Dix offers a wonderful experience for enjoying interesting and delicious ethnic dishes, drinks, and pastries. Perfect for a Sunday afternoon brunch outside on their peaceful patio, or a night of some culinary adventuring." - Kyle & Annie Turman
"Cafe Rue Dix is where you should meet friends for dinner and drinks before a night out in the neighborhood. This French-Senegalese spot is covered in West African masks, the bar is painted with geometric patterns that look like Senegalese textiles, and there’s always loud afrobeat music playing. It’ll be hard to not dance a little in your seat while you order the beef mafe, or a whole branzino. There’s outdoor seating in front, in case you feel like people-watching while you eat." - kenny yang, bryan kim, nikko duren, hannah albertine, matt tervooren
"Cafe Rue Dix is a French-Senegalese spot in Crown Heights where you should spend a leisurely Saturday afternoon. Pop in for breakfast and order some of their famous beignets and a pot of Senegalese tea, or order some beef mafe at lunch and take in the scene. The walls are covered in West African masks, loud Afrobeat music is always playing, and when you’re done you can also browse through clothing by Senegalese designers and get your nails done at Marché Rue Dix, their boutique next door." - willa moore, will hartman, neha talreja, carina finn koeppicus
"“Atlantics is a horror drama about a bunch of girlfriends who are possessed by the spirits of their dead boyfriends. Seeing the iridescent glow in the eyes of these zombified young women as they haunt the streets of Dakar both mesmerize and terrify me. That’s exactly why I wish I had ordered a plate of mafe from Cafe Rue Dix online while watching this film. The Senegalese spicy beef stew in peanut butter sauce is so creamy and vibrant, I sometimes feel like it’s taking over my body. It’s probably just the spirit of the cow telling me to eat less meat.” -ND" - hannah albertine, nikko duren, bryan kim, hillary reinsberg, arden shore
"This French-Senegalese spot in Crown Heights has a covered outdoor dining area that will keep you dry while you eat beef mafe or a whole branzino. It’s fully heated inside, and there are string lights in case being well-lit feels thrilling to you and your dinner companion." - hannah albertine
