" I went to Café du Parc with my husband during our anniversary and it felt magical! The ambiance was perfect for a romantic dinner. We tried the beef bourguignon, which was incredibly tender, and ended with the crème brûlée that was is the best I’ve ever had. The only downside was the waiter was somewhat inattentive at times, but overall, it was a memorable dining experience. I highly recommend this place for special occasions. " (*Curated Review*)

" Café du Parc is a gem! I visited with my family and we enjoyed the relaxed vibe of the place. The kids had pancakes that were fluffy and delicious, while I opted for the classic croque monsieur which lived up to high expectations. Everything was fresh and came out promptly. I love that this place has that laid-back Parisian charm right in the heart of DC. We'll definitely be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Café du Parc has a lovely vibe, but I found the food lacking in authenticity. While the presentation was nice, the flavors weren't distinctively French. Breakfast items were decent, but nothing I'd rave about. The service seemed a bit rushed, although the staff was polite. I enjoyed the pastries but might not return for lunch. " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm torn about Café du Parc. On one hand, the food was undoubtedly delicious—especially the onion soup and the various choices of pastries. On the other hand, my experience was marred by long wait times, especially for service. I felt the staff was stretched too thin during a busy weekend brunch. Still, the ambiance was lovely so I'd consider giving it another chance on a less busy day. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful dining experience! I visited Café du Parc during my recent trip to DC and was absolutely taken in by the atmosphere. The décor reminded me of a quaint Parisian café. I ordered the duck confit which was simply sublime - tender and flavorful. The service was friendly and attentive, which made for an enjoyable evening. Would highly recommend the crème brûlée for dessert, one of the best I've tried! I will definitely return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I really wanted to love Café du Parc but unfortunately, it fell short for me. The food was just passable—the beef tartare lacked seasoning and my friend’s duck was cooked unevenly. While the ambiance felt welcoming, it seems like they invest more in decor than on perfecting their menu. Service was a bit slow too. Not the experience I sought, but it could vary depending on what you order. " (*Curated Review*)

" I dined here with friends last week, and the experience was just okay. Nothing really stood out that made me want to rave about it. I had a steak that was a bit chewy, and my friends commented that their dishes were similar. We enjoyed the atmosphere, but the food did not leave us impressed. I might give Café du Parc another chance for breakfast, as I’ve heard good things about the pastries. " (*Curated Review*)
