Reviews for Café du Parc in 1401 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, WA

The food was quite nice, but the service let them down. I ordered eggs, Benedict, an orange juice, and a cappuccino for... breakfast. The eggs Benedict came quite quickly, and was rather nice. However, when they put the coffee on the table I didn’tnotice there was no spoon. I like my coffee, sweet, but I had nothing to stir it in with. I had to get up from the table andfind a waiter to get me a spoon because nobody came back to ask me if everything was well. I also had to ask for the orangejuice that I ordered because they didn’t bring it. How they messed up on the two most simple parts of my three part breakfastorder I will never know. Not even McDonald’s make that mistake. Read more

Great breakfast! We loved the eggs Benedict and avocado toast. We also liked dinner. We tried the salmon, which was okay, but... nothing special, and the baked chicken breast, which was delicious and came with amazing mashed potatoes. Read more

The cutest little French pastry shop! Delicious coffee! Right next to the White House and across from the WWI memorial. After... seeing all the memorials and important buildings this is the perfect spot to take a break and enjoy elegant desserts! The peachpastry I ate was amazing and the coffee superb! Read more

Great experience. Good setting with good food. Service was good and we were able to enjoy our food. The steaks were perfectly... cooked and the fries that went with them were also great. On top off that it was reasonably priced which was great. The sorbetportions were very generous indeed. Read more

We went to have dinner at this cafe. It is a French cafe so they serve French cuisine. For the most part the food was good. The... Escargot Bourgogne, Assorted Artisanal bread, Beef Bourguignon, and the Crème Brûlée was good. My Stew, I forgot the name, which is basically a seafood stew was something I didn’t enjoy. It was bland . I had to put quite a bit of salt and pepper forflavor. We also ordered the Steak Frites, which is a NY strip steak. My husband and I didn’t like it as much. It was a bitchewy and dry. There was some peppercorn gravy on it, but the gravy wasn’t that flavorful too. But, I love love the crabcakes. I don’t think it’s bad, I just didn’t enjoy it as much as I thought. It’s the first time i’ve tried Frenchcuisine and I refuse to think that their food has no flavor. I am very much going to try it again. This is a good place to comeif you like French food, or simply want to try something different. The location is great. You can dine inside or Al Fresco.Parking is a bit limited, so there were 4 of us, and we just took an Uber. This place can be a good place for dates. It’scasual to semi-formal dining. If you plan to come dine, be aware that this place is a bit pricey. Read more

Was walking from downtown, to the monuments on a Saturday afternoon. No place was open for coffee, but we came across this... boujie little spot. They have a great selection of coffee and pastries, but you are going to be paying a lot. $18 for 2 lattes.Not worth the price, but DC prices. Favorite part was sitting outside on the steps and doing some good ole fashion peoplewatching. I’d go here if you don’t care to break the bank and want to people watch as you sip your coffee.

The food was phenomenal, the drinks were lovely, and the crème brûlée was absolutely divine! The wild boar: Was loaded with... flavor and didn’t have any gamey or overly fatty taste. It was absolutely delectable for lunch time! Beef bourguignon: Was sodelicious! It was sweet, savory, and rich! It was super tender and pulled apart! The potatoes and onions that came with it werephenomenal! I wish I had ordered a second serving! Lobster bisque: Tasted like the literal essence of lobster! It was so goodfor lack of a better term! Phenomenal I say! The creme brûlée: Was absolutely phenomenal, it was sweet without being toosweet! The crust was super sweet and cracked at the pressure of the spoon! This was truly a sumptuous desert! Best cremebrûlée in DC! Read more

A ham and cheese sandwich always seems to taste better when it's called Croque Monsieur. This one is particularly good and... wonderfully messy with the melted Gruyere cheese oozing out over the French ham. There's also a really good cafe downstairsthat's a great place for coffee and a pastry. Read more
