Arlington, Georgetown
French
French classics in chic settings are a winning formula at these bistros from chef Brendan L’Etoile. Georgetown’s Chez Billy Sud is known for its very Parisian dining room, while Arlington’s Café Colline is airier and more casual. Both have similar menus with easy-to-love stars of French cuisine, such as Burgundy snails capped with puff pastry, a perfect salade verte, moules frites, and a divine hazelnut pot de crème.
