While I originally loved this place, I had to change my mind. The food is great, but they will trick you. We were ordering a bottle of wine. Had one picked out that was about $95 for the bottle. The waiter comes back and states "based on the wine you picked, the sommelier has recommended "this bottle". So we agree. That bottle of wine was $375!!! Now, I get it, we approved and didn't ask the price, but when he compares it to the bottle we picked out, we assumed it would be somewhere in the same price range, not more that four times the price!! This was a deceptive practice that I just can't get behind. None of us mind paying for good food or wine, but to sneak in a $375 bottle under the guise of a $95 bottle is low level trickery that shouldn't be tolerated. We will not go back to this restaurant again and advise anyone who asks to not go either.

The fried oysters and fried okra are the best I've ever tasted . The pork belly melted in my mouth.

Staff was amazing but food was less than to be desired. Ordered chicken and it was heavy heavy breaded and quite greasy. Couldn't even eat it. Meal was so bad I asked what other places were open cause I was really hungry. Server never asked about making it right or sent over a mgr and $40 for a greasy heavily breaded piece of fried chicken is ABSURD. Wanted bread pudding but they didn't have it so settled for beignets and they were awful. The middle was gooy and they didn't taste done. Really disappointed cause this is supposed to be fine dining. Will def be posting on multiple sites so people know not to spend money here. Not at all like the place Chris DuPont opened!
One of our favorite spots in Birmingham! Every visit is perfection. Great cocktails, wine, food, atmosphere, and service. Cayla executes a flawless experience for the senses! So proud to have Cafe Dupont in Birmingham.

Celebrated a dear friend's birthday. Cuisine was fabulous!! Service is always first class. With that said, we had a new server who was still training. He was not up to the high standard we are use to at Cafe Dupont but the evening was amazing. Ambiance is always a favorite! The lovely, simple but elegant French decor with lovely wall sconces and warm lighting truly welcomes diners.

The food was well prepared, but the overall experience was less than stellar. Flavors were not amazing.

My wonderful, thoughtful boyfriend brought me here to spoil me for my Birthday! We were not disappointed! First of all Brandon guided us through our dinner with wonderful suggestions and expertise! We highly recommend the cheese plate and the red snapper and the french gimlet! Everything we tried was divine but these were the stand outs! The little bites before, between and after were delightful and fun! The seared scallops we added to the red snapper were seared to perfection! The Pot de creme was sinfully rich! Charming and intimate with a small amount of tables ensure you are taken care of the best way possible! If you have an event to celebrate or just want to be spoiled, make a reservation! I promise you will be delighted!
This place is phenomenal! My boyfriend took me here for date night. The ambiance is perfect, very intimate setting. The waiter was an absolute pleasure to be around, he was very detailed and gave great recommendations. The food service was top tier, we didn’t have to wait long. The food was very delicious as well. Will definitely come back again.
