Cafe en Seine Shortlisted For a 2026 Bar of the Year Awards

This nomination recognises our ability to bring together a diverse range of experiences and audiences under one roof. From locals and corporate groups to brunch goers, tourists and nightlife seekers, Café en Seine continues to deliver memorable food, drinks, entertainment and hospitality in the heart of Dublin.

Our venue is not simply another Dublin bar. It is a city landmark that consistently delivers ambitious, imaginative experiences. Across our many spaces, we offer an unparalleled multi‑layered bar experience in design, entertainment, atmosphere, food, and service. Whether guests are joining for brunch, meeting for drinks, attending an event or enjoying a late night in the city, every visit offers something different.

With more than 300 live sets each year, entertainment is at the heart of the Café en Seine experience. The weekly schedule brings together live jazz brunches, acoustic sessions and high-energy DJ events, supported by high-quality lighting, sound and production. From relaxed daytime sessions to energetic late nights, we offer a constantly changing calendar of entertainment in the heart of Dublin.

We are committed to creating an inclusive experience for every guest. All entrances to the venue are accessible, with full lift access between levels to ensure ease of movement throughout the venue. Accessibility is an important part of creating a welcoming space, allowing guests to enjoy everything Café en Seine has to offer, from dining and drinks to live entertainment and events.

Food is a central part of the Café en Seine experience. Under the direction of Executive Chef Stephan Gibson, our culinary team creates seasonal brunch, lunch and dinner menus built around high-quality Irish produce. Our menus are designed to showcase great ingredients while offering something for every occasion, whether guests are joining for brunch, lunch, dinner or a casual bite alongside drinks.

Our cocktail menu at Café en Seine has been specially curated by Crucible, London, alongside the Café en Seine bar team. Our drinks have been designed to complement the different experiences within the venue, from the distinctive surroundings and design to the music and service. Every cocktail is created to feel like part of the wider Café en Seine experience, making each drink memorable in its own right.

From brunch and seasonal dining to cocktails, live music, late-night entertainment, events and its iconic design, Café en Seine continues to offer something for everyone.

Most importantly, we want to thank our incredible Café en Seine team. Their passion, creativity and dedication are what bring the venue to life every day and make every guest experience so special.

We are incredibly proud to be recognised among Ireland’s leading hospitality venues and look forward to celebrating this achievement at the Bar of the Year Awards.
