About this restaurant

Named in honor of MICHELIN-starred Chef Matt Baker’s late mother, Michele’s is a heartfelt tribute to her love of timeless bistro and brasserie fare — a love that continues to shape Chef Baker’s culinary philosophy and hospitality ethos.

Blending his classical French training with modern sensibilities, Chef Baker reimagines beloved dishes with refined technique and seasonal inspiration. The result is an upscale New American dining experience layered with traditional French accents, offering both comfort and elegance in every bite.

Now offering lunch, Mondays-Fridays 11:00am-3:00 pm; and Brunch on Saturday's 11:00am-3:00pm.

    From the entry to the food, not the experience of elevated dining one would anticipate given the photos or raving reviews. Any restaurant that doesn’t have Coca-Cola as a staple is suspect for a good Rum and Coke.

    I had a nice easy light meal by myself one evening while at a meeting in downtown DC. The service was excellent and the creativity on the menu was vast. One of the really fun things was the after dinner amaro that was recommended by bartender: a real winner. I’ll be back.

    The was expertly prepared; my salmon had just the right amount of crisp outside and tender inside. My salad had a well balanced vegetable base with seeds. Loved it!
