The perfect french bistro! The quality of the food is incredible — everything tastes fresh, authentic, and made with care. The staff are always welcoming and friendly, and the atmosphere feels cozy yet elegant. Whether it’s for a casual lunch or a special night out, La Bonne Vache never disappoints. Highly recommend! They even have matchboxes upon exit!

Safe to say it’s one of the best burgers I had in DC. The wait was long but worth it. The place was a bit crowded and cold but overall a good experience

The food (burgers) tasted really great, the burgers were really small and on the expensive side.

This place is mostly vibes. The staff was very friendly and attentive, but the food was extremely average, especially for an $80 meal. The burgers tasted okay, but the meat was not well-seasoned. The endive salad was also okay, but it seemed like it was pre-dressed and came out on a warm plate. The fries felt like they had been sitting out for a bit. Tomato fish soup was actually quite good. Overall, the food has an execution problem, but their business model seems to be working since it was pretty busy at 4 pm. Would not recommend to others.

Beautiful Parisian style restaurant with a focus on their Pat LaFrieda meat burgers. We went with the LBV classic and it was delicious. Decent price for a small burger.
Stopped here for a late lunch. Food, service, and drinks were all great. The chicken sandwich is 🔥

One of my favorite places, period. A hidden gem you find and don’t want anyone else to know about. Too late though. Started coming here a year ago. Wasn’t too busy. Now it’s packed. Lines. But worth it. Tucked into the neighborhood. A bit off the beaten path. Great wine and burger and desert. Everything on the menu is excellent. And the service, the people that work here, the bartender, the waiters, the hostess, the owner — great people.

La Bonne Vache was an absolutely incredible dining experience from start to finish. The atmosphere is warm, elegant, and full of character — a true French charm right in the heart of Georgetown. Every detail feels thoughtful, from the cozy lighting to the inviting table settings.
The food was exceptional — perfectly prepared, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. Each dish felt authentic and crafted with care, and the quality of ingredients truly stood out. Their wine selection was also perfect — light, refreshing, and thoughtfully paired to complement the dishes beautifully.
The service was equally impressive: attentive, friendly, and genuinely passionate about making sure every guest enjoys their time. It’s rare to find a place that balances sophistication with such a welcoming vibe, but La Bonne Vache does it effortlessly.
I can’t wait to return — this is easily one of the best dining experiences in D.C.
