Best French Restaurants in Potomac

They could not have been kinder. Had a little medical issue with one of our party and they held our table until it was resolved Also our server Orlando was so helpful and pleasant. They made a tricky situation much smoother

It's always a pleasure and a special treat to visit L'Auberge Chez Francois whenever we are in the area. Guests are immediately transported to a place of "old world charm" and French classics presented in a beautiful way, an art which is difficult to find these days. You are welcomed like an old friend stopping by for a delicious meal. There are many great choices on the menu. We ordered the Chateaubriand from the prix fixe dinner menu and savored each bite. The service is always friendly and attentive and never overbearing. Excited to hear about a B& B and Spa being built on the property!

For the last 7 years we have celebrated our anniversary at L'Auberge Chez Francois. The food is always outstanding, and the service is impeccable. It is our all-out favorite restaurant in the area.

The ambiance is unbeatable and the food was pretty good, but not exceptional for the price. The wine deal was great. The service was overall pretty good, but we had a few issues. When we arrived, with a reservation, we had to wait about 25 minutes for our table. We were eventually taken to the side room, so our table was nice, but I would’ve been disappointed if we’d gotten a table in the middle of the main area or upstairs because it wasn’t as cute and the main area was pretty chaotic. While waiting for the table, they suggested we wait at the bar, which we did, and nobody ever acknowledged us or took our order. When we sat down, there seemed to be confusion about who our server was and multiple people came up to our table to take our order and check on us. That being said, they were all very professional and helpful. I will say, it was my friend’s birthday, which I put on the reservation and reminded our (first) waiter, and they never did anything to acknowledge it. We ordered two desserts, and they didn’t even give her a candle!! I’ve never experienced that before, especially at a high-end restaurant. That was very disappointing.

We found this Belgian restaurant on Open Table while visiting a friend at Sibley Hospital, where dining options are pretty limited. It was a delightful surprise! One of our group, who has visited Belgium several times and loves Belgian cuisine, was especially excited. We shared several dishes: the mussels, a small cheese plate, and of course, frites paired with Belgian beer (Duvel, I believe). Everything was delicious! The atmosphere was cozy and authentic, and the service was very good. Highly recommend if you’re in the area and looking for a yummy meal. It truly felt like a little taste of Belgium.
