Le Grenier

My go to French restaurant back when I lived in DC. The food is delicious and the closest thing I had to my grand mother's cooking. Even their snails are on point. The deco is really charming and the light french music playing in the background adds up to the classy but laidback ambiance that will without any doubt seduce you. The staff and owner are nice and helpful. And don't get me started on their brunch. Now, it's like a tradition to have dinner there when I visit my friends. A place worth trying out !

We had a wonderful date night at Le Grenier! The ambience is cozy and romantic and quiet. We never get to go out and they made this night extra special! The French onion soul was superb, it’s so hard to find a good French onion that isn’t overly salty. The star of the show was their lamb dish - it was heavenly and melted off the bone with a rich sauce. Our server was attentive and very sweet. We’ll be back!

Went for Winter Restaurant Week (February 2021, during Covid). We were seated out back on a small patio, but indoor seating was also available. The patio had little heaters by each table, and the heaters did a great job of heating the space. The indoor space is quiet and charming - exposed brick, tall ceilings, a little small and narrow. Would be good for a special occasion date. All of the food was great. And the wine went well with the meal as well. The service w felt fairly European (a little slow at times, but then you don't feel rushed through the meal either). The salted caramel ice cream in particular was what dreams are made of. Was a little disappointed that the French onion soup wasn't on the menu, but that just means I'll have to go back another time.

Amazing place! There is no enough words to describe not only the food but the espectacular experience at this location. While celebrating our anniversary and after enjoying Washington DC for the whole day, we decided to dress up nicely and visit this amazing restaurant not having a clue of the amazing evening we were about to experience. As soon as we got there were were very greeted in a very nicely way and explained the new sanitary protocols that they are following to prevent any spread of COVID-19. We were offered a beautiful table but we asked if it was possible to eat at the bar and they had no problem with that. The ambience is super romantic and rustic, the music... Oh my God!!! Everything was perfect for our celebration the place fit perfectly to the kind of day we were wanting to have. We had delicious appetizers; Encornets à la Tomate: Jumbo calamari stuffed with andouille sausage, tomato-cayenne sauce, Escargots de Bourgogne: Snails in parsley-garlic butter in a parsley sauce, Calamari filled with sausage over a delicious sauce, and also an Avocat Cocktail: Stuffed avocado with marinated tuna salad, Grilled shrimp, cocktail sauce stuffed avocado with marinated tuna salad and a shrimp. As we kept enjoying our delicious red wine and sparkling water main course came along. We eat Le Jarret Fou wich is a slow braised Pork shank, parsnip potato puree, summer vegetables and port wine sauce. We were encouraged to leave some space for dessert. So we did :). And it was totally worth it. It was very hard to stop eating that amaizn pork meat and that combination fo beautifully done vegetables but those crepes we were served they are TO DIE FOR! Mina was a Chichouette: Homemade Wild berries marmalade, Chantilly, Wild berry sauce, pistachio ice cream and my husband's had the Abricotier: Rosemary caramelized fresh apricot, hazelnut lavender ice cream, Chantilly. They served us some Champagne and delious coffee at the end of our night. I am so greatful for this amazing and unforgettable evening. Thank you Adam and Chef Emmanuel for making our day even more special. We will see each other soon. Blessings!!!
