- JJean-MarcWashington, D.C. Area •1 review4.0Dined 1 day agoTwo great dishes were the mussels and the boeuf bourguignon. The veal and chicken should be reviewed. The veal accompaniment was good, but the meat should be cut more finely. The chicken, too dry, with asparagus needs to be rethought, The desserts were perfect. I'll certainly be backMore infoCafe Du ParcPrice: Expensive• Contemporary French• Downtown•4.3
- RrichardVIPBaltimore / Maryland •39 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoTruly a diamond dining experience! When I walked into the restaurant I felt like I entered a French or Swiss chalet where I was then greeted by a distinguished French speaking host. Crisp white linen table clothes adorned each table and a lovely gaslight fireplace in the center made for a perfect ambiance. All the servers were older distinguished looking gentlemen buzzing through the restaurant focused on one thing- guest hospitality! Loved it. I cannot say enough about our server from San Salvador Emilio who coursed out our dinner so perfectly, beginning with baked oysters and ending with chocolate souffle. Definitely Old World dining done to perfection! Enjoyed chatting with the guests from each side of our table! Cannot wait to return in the future! Merci Beaucoup!!!More infoLa ChaumierePrice: Expensive• French• Georgetown•4.8
