   We returned to the Bistro Francais on Saturday 4/30 for dinner with old friends, and it was just as fantastic as we remembered it from 19 years ago! We were engaged there and chose it for our rehearsal dinner way back in 1997. We are sad that this neighborhood gem is closing. The asparagus vinaigrette and peppercorn steak were still amazing, the ambience and service fantastic. If we still lived in DC we would definitely have been able to go more. Thank you for everything, Bistro Francais!

   We reserved a table for brunch from Peru because I was looking for great places for eggs Benedict in DC. We were not dissapointed. The service was friendly, premises comfy and "french bistro looking" and the food excellent. Restaurant is located on M street in Georgetown, a lively and busy place, very nice.

   I've been coming her for many years whenever in DC. It was a treat to come here with my family and the food is very traditional French brasserie fare, but well executed and delicious. The only complaint I have is that they should have more French-speaking waiters ... à bientôt !

   Great location in the heart of Georgetown on M street. Service was excellent and very discrete (thank you). The food though was really nothing special ... it was good, but not great and not good enough to warrant the prices.

   My wife and I were first time visitors to Le Bistro Francais on April 11,2016. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and she enjoyed her birthday. We look forward to another visit and are eternally grateful to the staf and the kitchen for a wonderful evening. Thank you. Saleem & Aisha

   I hadn't eaten here in years so was looking forward to it. The service was poor, the food was ok although it has really lost the French bistro fare and become very American. No water refills. The people next to us got completely the wrong meal. The are many Georgetown resturants will a lot more to offer with better food and service. Don't waste your time.

   Great food and service just like it has always been for years. Even on a crowded Easter Sunday brunch, the service & food were still superb. Never had a bad meal here. Great French Onion Soup and Steak Frite as well.

    We have been coming here for 30 years and have never had a bad meal. We both had the tournedos - delicious - and gazpacho and escargots. The menu does not change much but that's part of the appeal.
