Bistrot Du Coin is a classic French bistro known for its casual and well-lit atmosphere. The menu features dishes like escargot, pomme frites, moules, foie gras, and crème brûlée that leave diners satisfied. Popular choices include the salad de chevre chaud and Dauphinoise, with crème brûlée often chosen for dessert. The restaurant offers a cozy and lively vibe similar to small local restaurants in Europe, with high ceilings and an upstairs “loft area,” though the acoustics can sometimes be poor. Customers have shared that the food was once outstanding but has declined slightly over the years, possibly due to freshness issues, and recent visits mention inconsistent service. The atmosphere remains comfortable and inviting, making guests feel at home. Recent reviews highlight great service from the bar tender and waitstaff, and recommend dishes like Entrecôte Grille and Pave du Saumon, which was beautifully presented with ancient grains pilaf and light ginger & lemongrass white wine sauce. The Entrecôte steak was tender and well marbled, with frites that are considered some of the best in DC. The staff, including a wonderful waiter whose beef bolognese recommendation was spot on, enhance the dining experience. Desserts like Baileys and coffee with crème brûlée are also praised. The restaurant continues to be a favorite spot for classic French dishes in the Dupont area, with a nostalgic charm and potential for future improvement.
