afé en Seine received the Best Pub of the Year Award. As you can see from the photograph the Dahlia 3

and Mint 4 looks stunning all over the ceiling. It is one of the many admired features.

The first of the continental style café-bars to open in Dublin, in 1993, Café en Seine is still ahead of the fashion a

decade later - after closing for complete refurbishement, it re-opened in December 2001 to reveal a stunning new

interior in an opulent art deco style reminiscent of turn-of-the-century Paris. Not so much a bar as a series of bars

(you mobile phone could be your most useful accessory if you arrange to meet somebody here), the soaring interior is

truly awe-inspiring with a 3-storey atrium culminating is beautiful glass-panelled ceilings, forty foot trees, enormus

art nouveau glass lanterns, and statues and a 19th century French hotel lift among its many amazing features.
