On my second day in the U.S. capital, I stopped for a quick lunch at this Georgetown brasserie.
The concept
The concept is quite simple—a traditional brasserie with classic French dishes.
The setting
The setting is very well done, with a nicely decorated room and quintessential Parisian bistro chairs.
The menu
The menu offers a good selection for lunch, with a mix of sandwiches and full plates. It looks enticing, and I’m especially interested in returning for a more substantial dinner.
The meal and the dishes
I started with an Old Fashioned, which was excellent
For the main course, I had a croque-monsieur that was good but huge, with ham of average quality.
The service
The service was attentive and quick.
The atmosphere
The atmosphere was pleasant, though the music was a bit too loud for my taste (thank goodness for AirPods Pro).
Bottom line
A nice experience overall, but the menu deserves another visit to explore more thoroughly over dinner.
