Le Chat Noir DC

“Outstanding restaurant. Been eating here for over a decade. Food is lovely and consistently excellent. Escargot is best in dc area. They have a fixed price menu for cost conscious. Not cheap but worth your time and money. Great place for a casual night out or special occasion. A gem. Wine list is well chosen. Service excellent.”

“We had a wonderful Valentine’s dinner at Le Chat Noir. The atmosphere was romantic and perfect for a special evening. The frog legs and mahi mahi were absolutely delicious, and the dessert was the perfect ending. The service was warm and attentive, making our night even more special. We highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to coming back.”

“Had a wonderful time at their happy hour. All of the cocktails are superb- extremely talented bartenders. The 5 cheese board was delicious and each cheese was unique. We enjoyed talking about the different flavors and textures. Lovely ambiance, romantic and lovely service. We will be back! Thank you!”

“We came for lunch. Started our lunch with - Rose en Provence - recommend - Kir - recommend - Escargot - recommend - bread My hightlight is the free bread, it's warm and soft, and with perfect crust. It goes amazinglt with Escargot. For entree we ordered - Bouillabaisse - recommend. this is a seafood stew it goes perfect with the bread - Beof Bourguignion - recommend, this comes on top of noodles. The flavoring is amazing and the auroma of wine and beef stays in your mouth. My only watch out is, the beef probably comes from varies cuts. Some are not as tender and melt-in-mouth than the others. I had a few cubes that stuck in my teeth. Dessert, we went for Suzette - it's crepe in tangy sauce and alcohol. The presentation is great, because it comes in flames.”

“How much I would love to love this place. Well situated, serving the Tenleytown community, it offers so much potential with its wide veranda and French dishes. Unfortunately, I cannot. For one thing it is overpriced. $17 for an onion soup, that wasn’t tasty at all. The salmon terrine, despite its tasty salad, was not pleasing to the eye nor the palate. Bread was good. Guys, there are a lot of French restaurants in DC with your competition not too far away. Step it up, I would hate to see you go”
