An Ode to Paris

In the Heart of Washington, D.C.

CUISINE

Elegant, modern dishes. Recipes that highlight seasonal produce and a flair for simple, yet elevated, French cuisine. Partner Chef, Sébastien Giannini, proposes a menu that reflects generosity and savoir faire for lunch or dinner.


WINE & COCKTAILS

Beverage director Hakim Hamid created an easily identifiable, yet dynamic, cocktail menu, bridging the flavors and ingredients between the cocktail list and the food menu. The wide range of wines, curated by Sommelier Samantha McCrimmon, are meant to complement the food, while encouraging guests to expand their arsenal of knowledge in French wines. 



AMBIANCE

Housed within a quintessential historic Georgetown row house, L’Avant-Garde is filled with irreplicable historic features such as ornate wood-burning fireplaces and hardwood floors. Transport yourself to Paris with moody, dim lighting and pulsing music.
