There are three choices for French bistros on the West side. White House pastry chefs seem to be leading the charge to the Potomac Heights (aka Palisades) neighborhood. First there was Patrick Musel of Praline (Little Falls Mall). Now we have Michael Cornu of Et Voila on MacArthur Blvd. Praline is a better bakery than it is a restaurant - an expensive bakery and Et Voila seems awash in mussel dishes. Thus Bistro Francais gets the nod because the new guys haven’t deposed the king.
Bistro Francais has been doing business in the same spot for 35 years. The menu is good and varied and they feature a three course fixed price offering for lunch and dinner; $20 for lunch and $25 for dinner. You can’t beat those prices in Georgetown. Chicken and steak dishes are always reliable. They also do Brunch on Sunday; arguably the best Eggs Benedict in the area.
You can also dine with vampires and other night owls at the Bistro. They serve a full menu until 3AM on weekdays and later on the weekends. If you like to eat at odd hours this is your spot. Eating early or late also gets you early and late bird specials. And at those hours parking shouldn’t be a problem.
