Best Cafés in Merrifield

We usually go to Sisters in Alexandria but this new location was closer to where we stayed. It was Just as beautiful and delicious! They never let us down with the delicious food and the beautiful fancy drinks. Can’t wait to go back

The food was really good. Nothing exceptional but really good. My husband had the Boeuf Bourguignon and gave it a B+. I had the Strip Au Poivre and I was a little disappointed with the “green peppercorn sauce”. The sauce was not made with cream (which is usually the traditional way). The cookie on top of the Crème Brûlée was unnecessary and didn’t taste good. The dessert would have been better served with a strawberry on top and no cookie. Service was great and our waitress was very polite and pleasant. The best part of dinner was the ambiance. It is a beautiful building!

Superb coffee omakase experience, 10/10 would recommend! 2nd time visiting!

We had a wonderful evening tonight at Julii. We ordered burrata, French onion soup, Alsatian tart and scallop crudo for appetizers. For mains we had the trout and the scallop risotto. Everything was excellent. The ambience was lovely, service was perfect - very attentive without being overbearing. Burrata is hard to mess up so of course that was great. The tart while good didn’t live up to the hype. It was still very enjoyable! It’s not so much of a tart as it truly is more of a flatbread pizza, but still very good. The trout was tasty and the scallop risotto was very nice. For me, the stand out dish was the scallop crudo -very bright and refreshing flavors. We had a great time and I would definitely come back again!
