Fodor's Expert Review Bistrot du Coin

$$$ Dupont Circle and Kalorama French

A well-established local favorite, this cozy bistro has a monumental zinc bar and a menu of moderately priced French classics, including onion soup, duck breast, cassoulet, and steaks garnished with a pile of crisp fries. Enjoy your meal with a glass of the house Beaujolais, a Côtes du Rhône, or an Alsatian white. If you're in town for Bastille Day (July 14th), don't miss the restaurant's lively French National Day celebration.
