French Restaurants near Reston, VA

“This is a lovely place for lunch or dinner, especially on a nice day when you can sit out on the plaza overlooking the lake. Very good quiches, salads, desserts and other entrees. Reasonable prices. I definitely recommend, particularly as a luncheon/brunch get together with friends.“

“Okay. Dating myself. L'Auberge Chez Francois has been open for 70 yours. We've been going for 35. Never had a bad meal here. Or a mediocre one. This is an old school restaurant in all the best ways. You might think it's expensive. And it is. But it's the best value restaurant I've ever been to. The entree price gets you bread, appetizer, amuse bouche, entree and dessert. I had the Tuna Tartare, House Salad and Beef Wellington. My wife got the warm Asparagus, House Salad, and Rack of Lamb. All expertly prepared. The ambiance is amazing. French Cottage in the countryside of Great Falls. The service is impeccable. You don't get much better. And get the soufflé for dessert. You have to order it when you order your meal. Well worth it. I will keep coming here until I die. It's that good.“

“We go to 2941 for many of our special celebrations and we are never disappointed. The food is excellent, the service is impeccable, and the sommeliers are incredible (really, ask them anything about any of the wines). We both had the chef's tasting with the wine pairing and were perfectly satiated at the end. The portions are on-point. We told our waiter the occasion we were celebrating and anyone who visited our table expressed congratulations and brought an extra special complimentary dessert at the end. We had a 7:00 reservation and arrived a bit early so we were able to watch the ducks come back to the pond as the gloaming fell and it was kinda magical. We'll definitely be back.“

“The ambiance of the restaurant is romantic, with flower bouquets and beautiful paintings. For the appetizers that we ordered, the portions were very small but the food was good. The duck confit was sweet, the ravioli sauce was great, the french onion soup was standard, and the crab cake sauce was delicious but very small. Free desert came with small samples of chocolate mouse and raspberry cake.“

“From the moment I stepped through the doors, the ambiance exuded a perfect blend of classic elegance and contemporary flair. The sunlit interior, adorned with tasteful decor, created a warm and inviting atmosphere that set the stage for a memorable dining experience. Thank you!!!“
