The menu here is almost a parody of what you would expect to find in a real Brasserie in France, but I kid you not this place is better than what you are likely to stumble upon in Paris. <\/p>\n<p>The skate was one of the best fish entries I&#8217;ve had in this area in many years. Everything was remarkably consistent and high quality. I do wonder how they will keep up standards, given the size of the place. And, circa 2013, it is very difficult to get in the door. I recommend showing up at 5 pm and sitting at the bar, unless you are well-connected in this town. In a way it is pathetic that we should be so happy to have this place, but kudos to the people in charge, this is a real winner. <\/p>\n<p>By the way, just in case you think I am crazy, everyone else loves it too.<\/p>\n<h3 class='related_post_title'>Related Posts:<\/h3><ul class='related_post'><li><a href=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/mirabelle\/\" title=\"Mirabelle\">Mirabelle<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/requin\/\" title=\"Requin\">Requin<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/ris\/\" title=\"Ris\">Ris<\/a><\/li><\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Le Diplomate, web site, 1601 14th Street NW, Washington, DC, 202-332-3333 (Metro Trip Planner &#8211; opens in new window) [WaPo | Washingtonian | City Paper | Don Rockwell | Yelp] Washington finally has an excellent French restaurant.
