L'Avant-Garde offers a delicate, balanced, and sophisticated dining experience. The restaurant showcases a marvelous combination of French culinary techniques and high-quality American ingredients, including creative cocktails and dishes like crab tartare, seared duck breast, scallops, and crème brûlée. Diners can enjoy a touch of French elegance in the heart of DC.
The restaurant's interior decor is elegant, and upon arrival, guests are greeted warmly and promptly shown to their tables. The staff is accommodating, especially for those with dietary restrictions. The starters are generous in portion and delicious, and the entrees, such as filet mignon and branzino, are perfectly seasoned with delightful accompanying sauces. While the desserts, including the pavlova and crème brûlée, did not meet the high standards of the main courses, the overall dining experience is praised as a wonderful celebration. The prix fixe menu is innovative, delicious, copious, and fairly priced, and the attention to detail is wonderful, making the food majestic. L'Avant-Garde is considered the best French restaurant in DC, and customers eagerly anticipate their return visits.
