Located in Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C., Bistrot Du Coin serves up delicious French cuisine. Its very relaxed setting features picnic-style table cloths and a second floor to accommodate a packed house. Owners Yannis Felix and Michel Verdon opened Bistrot Du Coin's doors in 2000 for patrons to converse and have fun while enjoying their meals. It offers hearty starters such as French onion soup and fresh, crisp salads, steamed mussels and sautéed foie gras. Veal stew in a creamy sauce, braised chicken in white wine and pan-seared salmon topped with a fresh herb sauce are filling main courses to try.

Bistrot Du Coin hosts parties to celebrate popular French events throughout the year, and it serves brunch on the weekend with its own menu. This restaurant has an extensive wine list, but also offers cocktails and apéritif. It is open year-round and welcomes reservations.

    Classically French bistro, many rows of closely spaced tables and chairs and adverts for French products posted on the wall (comme en France). The food was amazing, delicious, well-presented. We never felt rushed. Good wine list, too. Reservations are highly advised. Oh, and don’t pass up any of their desserts. They are amazing too.

    I’ve been coming to this restaurant for almost 20 years. The service and ambience are always wonderful. At this point, the prices have gone up significantly, plus there is a 5% surcharge and the food quality is just not the same. The bread is not as fresh. The chicken dishes are dry. And the onglet, which is their signature is fine, but far pricier and not as good as say, Mon Ami Gabi.

    Bistrot du Coin is a wonderful French bistro. The food and service are excellent, and the ambiance is just like the bistros we visited in France. The mussels were delicious, the cassoulet was very tasty and my husband really enjoyed the rabbit stew. Be sure to get a reservation!

    Whereas we had great expectations, this was a moderatly satisfying experience. The food was good, no more than that, and the service the same. We were disappointed.
