A Latin-fusion restaurant stakes it claim in South Minneapolis – In Short Owner and chef Hector Ruiz is making quite a name for himself. The former executive chef of Prima has embarked on bringing the globe to Minneapolis, with El Meson, La Chaya bistro and Café Ena, where his artful dishes are inspired by rich, Latin cuisine and French flair learned from years studying abroad. The dining room is equally as comforting and globetrotting as the unique food, combining warm, mosaic patterns and hues with a candle-lit bistro ambi... read more
Great atmosphere - Gem of S Mpls – My husband and I have been going to Cafe Ena since they opened. It's our favorite place to celebrate milestones in our life and to impress out-of-town vendors and relatives. We're so happy to have this gem so close to home! We brought my parents who are very into their wines and they were pleased with the selection. The food is always amazing and unique. Anything with the coconut risotto is my favorite!
Great cuisine right in a South Minneapolis neighborhood... – This is a very comfortable and casually elegant neighborhood restaurant. The service is great...always friendly and accommodating. I usually have numerous special requests and care is always taken to get it just right. Every meal I have had here was excellent..I usually try the fresh fish entree and my daughter enjoys the beef. Price is right...parking easy and what I really like is everything fresh daily ...including the deserts which are delicious and different. ... read more
Toss up b/w the BEST Salmon/BEST Scallop's EVER! – Cafe Ena is by far me, my husband, and my sister's favorite restaurant in the Twin Cities. It is even partly responsible for convincing my sister to move all the way from AUSTRALIA back to Minneapolis. She has traveled the world, and thinks that Cafe Ena is some of the best food she has ever had! I think that's a good reason to keep going back. The cardamom blackened salmon and the scallop's with coconut risotto are just a few of the gems on the menu. Everything from the win... read more
Great food, great wine, great service! – Last week, I had a friend visiting from New York City, and I chose to bring her to Cafe Ena for dinner. We had a superb meal, we both had fish, and a wonderful bottle of wine. The service was also excellent as was the presentation. My friend, at the end of the meal commented that she was very surprised by the quality of the meal. I wondered why, and she said that she was such a New York snob, and that our dinner was equal to any fine restaurant in New York City. I think that says it a... read more
A Minneapolis Favorite! – We have been to Cafe Ena at least 5 times and have enjoyed every experience there. It is one of our favorite places to bring out of town guests and friends, as it showcases everything an outstanding local, family owned restaurant can be. There are some things on the menu I could become addicted to (key lime pie, honey/chipotle butter, mashed potatoes). The ambiance is very inviting, relaxing and comfortable. I especially appreciate the cozy waiting area (although I've never had to wait more than a f... read more
Great food within walking distance! Couldn't ask for anything better! – My family lives walking distance from Cafe Ena and we were so happy to see it being integrated into the neighborhood. We have since had the pleasure of enjoying many meals in the cozy restaurant. In addition to the menu always changing and offering so many different combinations of flavors, the service is superb and the staff is exceptionally personable. Whenever I eat at Cafe Ena I know I will be greeted with warm welcomes and leave with a satisfied sto... read more
Amazing neighborhood cafe...great food, atmosphere and service! – We LOVE Cafe Ena...great atmosphere. Service has always been great...fast, knowledgable, friendly and unobtrusive. Also love the concept of supporting a wonderful local establishment in the heart of a neighborhood. The Food: AMAZING and unique! I haven't had anything less than yummy yet. Their ceviche is one of my favorite appetizers anywhere.
Excellent food and great service – I visited Ena with my wife and we were very happy. Ena offers an intimate decore, an excellent service and a very good menu. The blend in flavours, where an authentic fiesta in my mouth. I will for sure go back to Cafe Ena.
