Bistrot du Coin

January 7, 2013 – 8:46 pm

This is a great place for some good traditional French cuisine.  Located only a few blocks South of our front door, Bistrot du Coin is hailed for its “Traditional” etiquette as well.  Don’t be offended by the cultural indifference, because trust me when I say the food is AMAZING.  When I go over there, it’s like crossing the ocean and being in my South of France around my Grandma’s dinner table. This place treat you to the finest French food in DC near our hotel.  Don’t ask questions about the menu, just order something you won’t be disappointed!

Address: 1738 Connecticut Avenue Northwest, Washington, DC 20009
Phone:(202) 234-6969

Prices: $$$
