DC Affordable French Cuisine – Le Diplomate 🇫🇷✨

Had a farewell meal with a friend here – just the two of us at Le Diplomate. 💐 Boeuf Bourguignon – An absolute standout! 🍷 The beef was perfectly tender, and the mashed potatoes were creamy and rich. So delicious! Duck Confit – The potatoes were a bit too salty 🧂, but the restaurant kindly comped the dish. Chicken Liver Mousse – Paired with bread, it was a match made in heaven! A bit sweet, but highly recommended – I loved it! ❤️ Escargots de Bourgogne – Salty and garlicky, perfect for dipping bread 🥖, but too intense to eat alone. Worth trying for something new! Coffee – Just okay… honestly, I prefer Capital One Cafe’s brew ☕. Complimentary Dessert – Pretty decent! 🍰 The atmosphere was lively and full of character – very bustling! They serve brunch on Sunday midday. 🥐 Parking is available on nearby streets, or you can take the metro and walk a bit. 🚇 All that food for two people came to around $100 – not bad at all! 💵 Have you been here?
