La Piquette - Washington

Excellent steak frites, fun local neighborhood atmosphere and a really extensive menu of French bistro classics.

Great food and service but on the pricey side. Go before 7PM if you want it more on the quiet side.

If I live in the DMV area, I would definitely come here every month.

Excellent French place! Very similar to my actual Paris experience. Portions are small (as they should be, like in France). And some people would find it pricy. But this gives you an opportunity to try more items per meal and still feel ok, not “thanksgiving-dinner-full”. I tried beer tartar, which was excellent. Also seared foi gras (I’d give it 8/10, so very good). And also risotto. Which I liked. But by that time I was already a bit fuller than I wanted to be because I spent quite a bit of time ordering 1 dish at a time. Thank you and I’ll definitely visit again.

The food from a French pov was a bit overpriced but service was on point and the bread was really good
