" Le Diplomate really showcases the essence of French cuisine! Our food arrived promptly, and I loved the variety on the menu. The steak was great, though a tad salty—the dessert selection did not disappoint either! I’ll be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Le Diplomate is just the place if you’re looking for something authentic. We had escargot and steak tartare which were both excellent! It's a bustling place, filled with a lovely mix of locals and tourists alike. Highly recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Le Diplomate is a feast for the senses! The variety and richness of French flavors were incredible. The steak frites I had were charred to perfection and the cooking on point. I must say get ready for some good portion sizes! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been to many French bistros, but Le Diplomate is the real deal! The escargots were some of the best I’ve tasted in the U.S. and the croissant was flaky and fresh right out of the oven. Would love to go back and try their dinner menu soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had lunch at Le Diplomate and enjoyed the outdoor seating! The service staff was friendly, but my food took a little longer to arrive than expected. However, the duck confit was worth the wait! Just be mindful on busy days. " (*Curated Review*)

" A charming feeling in this restaurant! I loved the rustic decor and French-inspired ambiance. The food was well-prepared but a bit on the pricier side. It’s a great spot for special occasions. I’ll definitely be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is a staple in DC! It has a charming atmosphere that instantly transports you to France. The food quality was outstanding! I had the rabbit pappardelle which was exquisite. I'll definitely be making it my go-to spot for authentic French! " (*Curated Review*)
