We had a memorable meal at Chez Billy Sud. The corn soup was amazing, as was a host cheese and fig spread. The Cobia fish excellent and chocolate hazelnut mousse divine. Six of us agreed it was among the best food in DC. Truly chef prepared with thoughtful touches that enhanced the meal. The service was excellent. Overall an unexpectedly delightful dining experience.
