Happy Bastille Day! Every July 14, the French celebrate the anniversary of the storming of the Bastille, which kicked off the French Revolution. We rounded up a bunch of activities happening in the area, but our preferred way to celebrate is with food. So we want to know which restaurant in Washington has the best French food. Where should we go to feel like we just strolled the Left Bank? Let us know in the comments!

I love Bistrot Du Coin! It’s a bustling place with great service, great food, a pretty large menu and a price tag that’s easy on your wallet.

I second FrenchTwistDC and Sophie on their choices. Cafe du Par and Montmartre are my top picks for French food.

Montmartre. I lived in Paris, so I can tell you it has authentic food (divine) and service (intermittently snotty and terrible).

Le Refuge, near the corner of Washington and King in Old Town, is a hidden gem.

Marcels. Hands down one of the best restaurants in the city. Other great choices: Brasserie Beck (though not strictly French), Central (same), Bistro Du Coin, and Bistro Bis

I’ve never had a bad meal at Cafe du parc. Great authentic French food!

Gone are the robust bureaus for the Los Angeles Times, Newhouse News, and other once-healthy news organizations. Digital media bureaus now are taking their places with as many reporters and plenty of swagger.

Worried about how you’re going to pull that Thanksgiving meal together by November 26? Luckily, there’s lots of ways to get a takeout turkey-day dinner so you don’t have to lift a finger in the kitchen. When ordering a turkey, keep in mind that a ten-to-12 pound turkey will feed four to six people.
