One of my all time favorite places to eat in Arlington! A casual, authentic neighborhood French bistro with an outstanding menu! The only problem I always have with Cafe Colline is what I am going to chose on the menu! I have never had a bad meal there! For appetizers, the Bibb salad is amazing and fresh. The Smoked Trout Rillette is a must! For entrees, the mussels, the Loup de Mer, and the duck confit are all amazing. Save room for dessert! Reservations fill up fast, so plan in advance!
