french restaurant
1315 14th St NW
A narrow room where you can taste what French wine people actually drink—natural, alive stuff from producers most places won't touch—paired with the kind of food that doesn't need to prove anything. Go if you want to remember why bistro cooking matters.
french restaurant
2622 P St NW
A Michelin-listed French bistro where you go when you actually want to taste what classic French cooking tastes like, not a dinner theater version of it. The wine list here is serious enough that you should probably bring someone who knows wine, or be prepared to ask real questions.

99 District Sq SW
Locals slip in for croissants and coffee before work, stay through lunch for steak frites and wine—the kind of casual French place where you actually want to linger over a second glass.
french restaurant
1738 Connecticut Ave NW
Someone who wants to feel like they've stepped into a Parisian neighborhood spot without leaving Connecticut Avenue will find exactly that here—small, familiar, the kind of place where the same dishes have been right for two decades.
