Let&#8217;s hope so. The food is Franco-Mediterranean, more or less, I&#8217;ve enjoyed everything I&#8217;ve eaten here, which by now is well over half the menu. My favorite appetizer is the potatoes with sausage. I find most main courses in most restaurants boring, but not here. Most of all here I&#8217;ve been impressed by the roast chicken and the bouillabaisse, and yes I know, neither sounds very thrilling. The execution is first-rate and they even taste original. While this place isn\u2019t cheap like many of the other options in this guide, for what you get it is reasonably priced. Very good souffl\u00e9 dessert too. Right now (December 2015) this is one of northern Virginia&#8217;s very best restaurants.<\/p>\n<h3 class='related_post_title'>Related Posts:<\/h3><ul class='related_post'><li><a href=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/hedzole-food-stand\/\" title=\"Hedzole, food stand\">Hedzole, food stand<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/the-meaning-of-death-from-an-economists-point-of-view\/\" title=\"The meaning of death, from an economist\u2019s point of view\">The meaning of death, from an economist\u2019s point of view<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/mirabelle\/\" title=\"Mirabelle\">Mirabelle<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/isabella-eatery\/\" title=\"Isabella Eatery\">Isabella Eatery<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/le-diplomate\/\" title=\"Le Diplomate\">Le Diplomate<\/a><\/li><\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Requin, web site, 8296 Glass Alley, Fairfax, VA 22031, Angelika Mosaic district, where Gypsy Soul used to be, 703-462-8662, dinner only, closed Mondays.
