Cafe Rue Dix

“Had a great lunch here. Love the open-air, breezy set-up on a good weather day. Ordered the Spicy Potato Nems, Attiéké Bowl, Mafe, & a fresh ginger juice. All hits. !!The Senegalese hot sauce was excellent. SPICY & full of flavor. I wanted to put it on everything. My first time having mafe, and it did not disappoint! Hearty beef stew in a delicious peanut butter sauce. Great portion size, too. Service was laid-back in a good way. The vibes feel relaxed. The kind of place that makes you want to come back with friends, have a drink, and try the rest of the menu.”

“I’ve been wanting to try Cafe Rue Dix for a a while. This was my first time there. Decor was chic, thoughtful and minimal. Our server was kind and attentive. I was hoping to order their baobab juice, but they sold out. Their Thiebou Jen was suuuuper yummy, hardy and is especially perfect comfort for this freezing NYC weather. Would absolutely return.”

“Yes, I love the vibe and the food here! It’s such a great neighborhood gem! I love how cultural the whole vibe is, chilled and relaxing. And the food is absolutely delicious! I try the fataya for the first time. It’s hot but yummy hot! The bread pudding is exceptional as well! We need more small businesses like this in the city!”

“This is a great spot on the corner, cozy and open on nice days. We were seated immediately though it did get very busy quickly. We tried the duck croquette confit appetizer which was very good, the spicy sauce made it a hit for me personally because I love spicy food. We ordered sandwiches and a salad because we were here for lunch and they were great. Mine was chicken and had what tastes to me like a similar spicy sauce which really made the sandwich. I've never had Senegalese cuisine before but would definitely be willing to come again to try dinner next time.”

“Menu is a combination of Senegalese and more traditional bistro items. We went for the Senegalese options and really liked them. Service was great. Really attentive even after the restaurant filled up later in the evening. Really causal, neighborhood vibe. Look forward to going back.”
