The reopening will bring with it daily specials, hot & cold meals, breakfasts, patisserie, quick bites, épicerie fine as well as a great selection of wine and coffee.

Dublin’s Alliance Française aims to promote French culture in Ireland, as well as providing a space for intercultural exchanges between Ireland and the French-speaking world. As well as their soon-to-reopen Chez Max cafe, they host an extensive French multimedia library with books, graphic novels, newspapers, magazines, CDs, DVDs, audiobooks, learning & teaching materials, and a language centre for all ages and levels.

The cafe will be open to the public from next Tuesday, March 1st. Dare we say ideal for anyone looking to celebrate Pancake Tuesday with a tasty traditional crepe?
