Fodor's Expert Review Café Rue Dix

Whether it’s the rhythmic African music, the aromatic Ataya tea, or the stylish diners from all parts of Brooklyn, be prepared for this romantic Senegalese-French fusion bistro to steal your heart (and stomach). The charming knickknacks in this vibrant, intimate space create an authentic backdrop for dishes straight from the owners’ kitchen in Dakar, such as the hearty Thiebou Jen (stewed fish and vegetables over rice; the national dish of Senegal) and Fataya (beef empanadas with Senegalese hot sauce).
