La Chaumiere

always excellent---superb food, solid service, good value for DC.Why go anywhere else?

The lobster bisque is the best in the world. We know. Trout amandine, apple tart are also tops. Don't ignore the biweekly specials.

This is a classic old school French restaurant that has been a constant for over 45 years! Inside, you could be in a French country inn. The Lobster bisque and the grand Mariner were classic and outstanding. The fois gras and the duck was fine but not stellar. Service was professional and Maitre D was very welcoming with French accent!

Muy buen trato, servicio extraordinario.. muy buena recomendación del vino para el maridaje

Visiting with international guest

A favorite, charming neighborhood restaurant! The staff is so friendly and professional, the food and service are always first-rate. We return again and again!

Best French food I’ve ever had in the metro DC area.

Great food, highly recommend this place, service was better the first time we went there, amazing souffle!!! Requested a corner table but we were give a table near the entrance. Great ambience, will we come there, yes for sure..

Seafood stew used to be my favorite until I tried the scallops. OMG, best scallops ever in the DC metro area!

Georgetown and Washington's longtime place to go for delicious classical French food. From the quenelles de brochet to the wonderful dessert omelets, with the attentive, polite informed service, and pleasant interior where there are no screaming crowds, La Chaumiere is the best.

Duck foie gras and calf brain was amazing!

Excellence is apparently what they do! Plenty of people with us in the dining area but didn't feel like it. Servers were very courteous without being overbearing. Loved it!

Great quality gourmet restaurant with Michelin qualified grade and with personal service

They rushed us since the very beginning because it was july 3rd and obviously they wanted to leave early which we thought it was wrong since it us not a cheap restaurant. Food is good and the soufflé GREAT ( main reason of our visit) good french wines nut they could have much better wine glasses ( like Riedel).

Fantastic as always! In 20 plus years we’ve never had a poor experience! Martin and his staff are wonderful!!

Love this restaurant! Very relaxing and comfortable. The food is always delicious and the soufflés are wonderful!!!!
The service is impeccable and you can really enjoy the evening without ever feeling rushed

Great for birthday celebration. We always love going there.

Best lamb I ever had. Can't wait to go back and try something else.

Delicious food with good presentation. Slightly rushed service, but overall a lovely experience.

I was expecting the food to be better than what it was. We were placed in the back corner of the restaurant even thought many tables were open and I had a reservation. Overall, I thought La Chaumiere was okay but I had higher expectations. I wouldn't recommend this place to my friends.

Fabulous from start to finish-skillfully prepared French cuisine(and I am a very good French cook); excellent, professional, and friendly waiter, Rene. Charming ambience.

Ambience was excellent
Service overall good. Changing of service ware a little noisy
Duck magret was salty

Delightful for a special occasion (birthday). We really appreciated the excellent food (including great vegetables) and attentive service - warm and attentive without ever being intrusive. We’ll be back!

Always a delight

Traditional French cuisine in a quiet setting. Nice seasonal specials where you can have calves brain.

A frequent visitor recommended your restaurant. We were very impressed. We also look forward to coming back. INDULGED ON GRAND MARNIER SOUFLEE. Very seldom have desserts but WOW.

Top 30 restaurant. And I’ve been everywhere.

This is our favorite French restaurant in the United States. Authentic, delicious, and inviting. We make a special effort to come to here whenever we are in the area.

Amazing food, service and atmosphere. Highly recommend for business dinner or any type of dinner. Very low noise level and it is nice hear other people and speak without yelling.

Great food but quite rich and filling. Ambiance and service is excellent.

Very good classic old school French restaurant. Polite and attentive service, chatty neighbors, a very nice evening.

Fabulous — our go to place for birthdays and to take guests. Would have been nice to have a little candle or something for the birthday girl, though. Merci! ❤️

Never disappoints ! Our go to place with guests from out of town! Love the wine list, food and service !

Great meal pre theater. Great service. Soufflé deliciousness

Really delicious food.

Food and service were excellent, manager and owner never talked you or checked after the initial hello from entry. Never interact/touched ANY table during our dining experience observation. Tables are small giving a cramped feeling.

Warm and welcoming and delicious French fare!

La Chaumiere always comes through on the best food and service! It continues to be an enjoyable experience whether having a business meeting or catching up with friends. Very few come close to them!

I have been a visitor at this restaurant sine the late 1970s. It keeps getting better.
My thanks to all involved.

From top to bottom — everything was outstanding!
