Senegalese-French cooking in Crown Heights — thieboudienne, brunch, and a room that feels like Dakar by way of Paris
Cafe Rue Dix runs a menu that moves between Senegal and France without treating either as the novelty. Thieboudienne — the national dish of Senegal, fish and rice cooked with tomato and vegetables — is the anchor, alongside dibi lamb and yassa. The French side shows up at brunch in the pastries and egg dishes. The Bedford Avenue room is small, warm, and decorated with West African textiles, and it has an attached boutique. It has been a Crown Heights fixture for over a decade and remains one of the best places in the city to eat Senegalese food.
