If I have an author with the name "Bertrand Café", is it acceptable

or should I be using the unicode numeric entity instead?

The key point is that the atom:name element, described in RFC4287  
3.2.1, is not a "Text Construct", as defined in 3.1, so you can't say  
<atom:name type="html">; so no markup allowed.  So just say "Bertrand  
Café".  -Tim
