Simply an exceptional/elite French dining experience in DC. Cozy atmosphere, impeccable service, and insanely delicious food. I’ll take this quasi-hidden gem over Le Dip any day of the year and twice on Bastille day lol. The desert menu is particularly incredible. All in all prices are very reasonable too for DC. 5/5 ⭐️. My new go to for French in the city.

I recently hosted a private event at Convivial and I had the most amazing experience! From the first email to Elvis with my request to the last guest leaving it was too notch customer service.
Several of the private event attendees travel extensively through France and two of them said the French onion soup and beef bourguignon were BETTER than any they had abroad.
I can’t recommend Convivial enough for a private event! Also, on a personal note I’ve eaten here many times for brunch and dinner and have never had a bad meal and am always blown away by the kindness of the staff. This is a true gem of Shaw.

What an incredible French restaurant! Every dish was full of flavor and thoroughly enjoyed. The burratta salad had the perfect fall flavors. The boeuf bourgonion was excellent. I knew I had to get it the moment I saw another review on it. My husband loved his steak. Our drinks were good, and the creme brulee and lemon macaron were delicious for dessert. Gluten free and other allergens are clearly marked. Great options. And our server Dino was a delight. He did a great job taking care of us. Highly recommend.

Outstanding experience from start to finish at the unpretentious, Paris bistro style restaurant. Service was amazing, friendly, timely but not overbearing. Food was perfect; everything was delicious and perfectly served. Three cheers for the bartender as well - great drinks. Will definitely go back!

I came to Convivial with a group of 7 to celebrate a work accomplishment, and Convivial knocked it out of the park! The food was incredibly flavorful, the service was excellent and I loved that the menu was fresh and clearly rotated often. I would highly recommend checking out Convivial.

Exceptional food and staff make this a place worthy of 5 stars. Our Server was very helpful and knowledgeable regarding the menu selections. The escargot was exceptional, and our entrees were outstanding. Very reasonably priced; I would rate it as one of the finest restaurants in the city. We will definitely be back. Convival has our highest recommendation.

What an amazing meal. So classic French and so beautifully executed. The carpachio was stunning and the cassoulet flavorful and fill with yummy ingredients. The consumme stole the show! Our waiter Carlos was so fun and attentive.

Really enjoyed everything about this spot. Great space food and staff. The cassoulet is pretty dynamite and overall everything was excellent.

Truly some of the best food I've had on a date night! My partner and I went to celebrate Valentine's day, and the experience was excellent. Highly recommended if you're feeling French and are looking for high-quality food and well-sized portions.
Drinks: We started with the Napoleon's Gain drink. I got mine with vodka (it normally comes with Gin) and it was similar to a Moscow Mule. My partner also got the Château des Antonins Cabernet Sauvignon with the main course.
Food: The Foie Gras & Duck Liver Mousse was extremely tasty! For anyone who hasn't had it (I hadn't before), I'd recommend trying if you're feeling adventurous. My main course was the Loup de Mer (branzino) and it was perfectly cooked and very flavorful. My partner got the Cassoulet with duck, and it was great as well.
Dessert: We got the Le Grand Rocher Jivara, which was essentially an oversized Ferrero Rocher. It was AMAZING, highly recommend. I got the recommended pairing (Graham's 20 Year Tawny Port)-- if you're feeling bougie I would go for it.

Had an amazing dinner here last night for dinner! Wasn’t crowded for a Thursday but we had made reservations in advance through Resy.
Food was so delicious! For starters, loved both the Escargot and Crayfish Nantua—well flavored and good portions. For entrees, the Bouef Bourguignon was great—the beef was so tender. Would love to come back to try their other dishes.
