Tried the steak and mushroom pasta dish. Simply amazing. This was the second time eating here and still not disappointed. Given this is a more expensive restaurant, but with that comes the higher quality gourmet dishes. The host is fantastic and the location equal. Recommend without a doubt.

This place is consistently good! The food has been high quality year over year. The "traditional" or "rustic", and unassuming ambiance of the restaurant only adds to the experience. This time we dined there in probably what felt like 105 degree heat due to the heatwave in DC but even that didn't ruin the experience. The service was perfect! Our server was attentive, good personality and approach and timely with the service. I absolutely recommend this restaurant.

This review is for dinner at 7pm for two at the bar on a Tuesday in mid-June. service: Hicham was incredibly hospitable and professional, despite being one busy bartender. He was right there when we wanted to order or if we had a question. Of note, the waitstaff seem to get along very well. Everyone was uniformly polite and positive, even though the place was getting crowded. bar: Highly recommend the Manhattan ($15 as of 06/2024). Perhaps of note, cocktail prices are pretty reasonable for DuPont Circle. My wife drank an elderflower lemonade ($8) and thought it good. I drank an excellent Cabernet ($14.50) with dinner. Lots of affordable wines by the glass and a handful of bottles. Of interest, looks like it's all European beers on tap. food: I always order escargot ($16) and these are the classic Burgundian preparation of butter, garlic, and parsley. They are excellent and come in a Staub cast iron, not in those annoying shells! My wife had high praise for the filet with Bearnaise and fries ($41). It's a very generous ten ounces and perfectly cooked. I had a half order of the steak tartare ($18) and thought it quite good. Note the half order does not come with fries. details: It's a bustling, noisy, high-ceiling-ed room. The vibe is casual, informal, and fun. A number of families with kids were there. They add a 5% food cost charge. Reservations recommended.

Came to Bistrot Du Coin on a Friday for an early dinner and had a great time! Arrived at 5:30 and it wasn't too crowded at all but started to fill up around 7:30 when we were leaving. The atmosphere very much feels like a French bistrot. It's very casual and has a nice neighborhood calm but lively feel. Our waiter came immediately and we were served warm bread with butter. I had the St. Germain, a simple champagne and elderflower cocktail. It was simple but tasty and served in a pretty flute like glass. To eat I had the salmon and my friend had the salmon ravioli. Both were amazing and we cleaned our plates! The salmon was perfectly moist and well seasoned. Extremely tender and flavorful. The risotto it came with was a perfect pair. The asparagus were well cooked and complemented the dish well. No complaints! For dessert we had the coffee with ice cream and mocha sauce with whipped cream and WOW such a wonderful dessert and perfect end to dinner. Service was super fast and attentive, we had our food and drinks immediately. Food was awesome, atmosphere was very casual. Can't wait to come back! The french onion soup and creme brulee is calling my name already.

It was a fantastic atmosphere for a mini-reunion of friends. The food was wonderful, and the drinks were great.

Great selections on the menu! We had escargot, muscles, stew and steak. Wonderful service, great vibe in this hopping place. I'd love to come back and try other mussel options.

There are photos on a wall with visitors that ate at this French restaurant. It feels like Bastille day. The French flag? The two people next to me were speaking French. There was an Asian family here. I wanted to try the French onion soup. I have had it on a cruise. I wanted ravioli with salmon..smaller size. I also sat with myself because you can't get me somebody to sit with...that I want to sit with...today or tomorrow..or next year...The picture of the president visiting this spot is funny and what else can you say... It was more than I wanted to pay and I had to pay. If you want to..I don't see why not...then I walked back home. Festive..

Have you ever found yourself looking for some new cultural experience, searching for the kind of place you can tell your friends is "authentic"? Have you ever sat puzzling over where your next food jaunt would be without feeling convinced by what you see?? Have you ever...I'm assuming the answer is yes! So please Brad, what are you getting at?? Bistrot Du Coin is worth stopping the scrolling for and starting the strolling on over. You'll find yourself walking into a subtle cafe without great ornament, but certainly with the heart of a welcoming owner! Having lived near and visited France many times, I feel transported to those relieving moments in the local bistrot after a cold hard work day when going to places like Bistrot Du Coin. We supped on a handful of dishes from the mussels (yum) to the beef bourguignon to my dish, the French onion soup! When I arrived at the dessert, instead of my usual belly pat as a way to justify avoiding sweets, my eyes immediately convinced me to try some of the many options brought to the table. The solace I found in giving in came from cracking the crust and eating the first spoonful of crème brûlée! If you find yourself in pursuit of something authentic where the owners "really know what they're doing" then Bistrot Du Coin will certainly fit the bill. Actually though, the bill is reasonable too! Give it a try!

Amazing French food in a beautiful restaurant. This place feels authentic, warm, welcoming, and the right kind of busy. The service is always fantastic and I eat here whenever I'm in the city. We had a group dinner so ordered several appetizers and bottles of wine. I highly recommend the French onion soup and escargots, as well as the mussels in lobster bisque. The house steak frites is always cooked perfectly and if you have time and space try to order dessert.
