Café du Parc

Robin Mehera

Was walking from downtown, to the monuments on a Saturday afternoon. No place was open for coffee, but we came across this boujie little spot. They have a great selection of coffee and pastries, but you are going to be paying a lot. $18 for 2 lattes. Not worth the price, but DC prices. Favorite part was sitting outside on the steps and doing some good ole fashion people watching. I’d go here if you don’t care to break the bank and want to people watch as you sip your coffee.

The food was phenomenal, the drinks were lovely, and the crème brûlée was absolutely divine! The wild boar: Was loaded with flavor and didn’t have any gamey or overly fatty taste. It was absolutely delectable for lunch time! Beef bourguignon: Was so delicious! It was sweet, savory, and rich! It was super tender and pulled apart! The potatoes and onions that came with it were phenomenal! I wish I had ordered a second serving! Lobster bisque: Tasted like the literal essence of lobster! It was so good for lack of a better term! Phenomenal I say! The creme brûlée: Was absolutely phenomenal, it was sweet without being too sweet! The crust was super sweet and cracked at the pressure of the spoon! This was truly a sumptuous desert! Best creme brûlée in DC!

Decided to eat dinner at Cafe du Parc before viewing the National Tree. While at the Willard, we were treated to Christmas carols being sung by an acapella group in the lobby and beautiful Christmas decorations. We took a small 'lift' up to the second floor restaurant and enjoyed our dinner of burgers and fries. The burger was seasoned and cooked well, served with all the trimmings including garlic aioli and crispy fried onions on a bun that held up well with the burger. The fries were delivered hot but quickly cooled. Which to eat first? Fries or burger?! Coke products and alcoholic beverages are served. The pastry display downstairs included a melted snowman and santa hats. Very tempting! But too full from dinner. Pricing was a bit high but the burger was worth it! Server was ok, but never asked if we wanted drink refills.

Cafe du Parc, located in the Willard InteeContinental Hotel, just a hop across the street from The White House, was an excellent place to eat during a recent stay I've eaten at my fair share of hotel restaurants. The food is mostly the same, especially breakfast, and Cafe du Parc was a pleasant surprise! The food was fresh and tasty! The staff were all friendly and helpful. I was so impressed by breakfast the first morning I made a point to return for dinner, and was not disappointed! The avocado toast was delicious with a perfectly poached egg on top (not an easy task). The assortment of pastries was also excellent. For dinner I had the Filet. The steak was cooked perfectly to order and the Bernaise sauce was amazing. The gratin potatoes and broccolini were also spot-on. The meal was wrapped up with a SPECTACULAR Peach with Red Currant Mousse! As an added bonus, eating these meals on the terrace with an awesome view and atmosphere, mere steps from The White House. This is the first hotel restaurant in my life I would gladly return to even if not staying at The Willard.
