" Absolutely loved my experience at Bistrot Du Coin! I had the crispy duck confit which was perfectly cooked and accompanied by a delightful potato gratin. The service was prompt and friendly, making the evening all the more enjoyable. The decor brings a true French vibe which I appreciated. Prices are reasonable given the quality you're getting. Don’t miss out on the dessert, the chocolate mousse was heavenly! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been a regular at Bistrot Du Coin for the past few years, and I can confidently say it remains one of the best spots for authentic French cuisine in DC. I had the mussels and they were simply divine, swimming in a delicious broth that I could have happily sipped all night. The portions are generous, making it a great value for the quality of food served. One cannot forget the delightful wine selection either, always on point! Even when it gets busy, the staff maintain a friendly demeanor—highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" While the soul of this place is undeniable, I found the food to be hit or miss. I adored the escargot; however, my main course of beef cheek didn’t meet my expectations—it was tough rather than tender. The atmosphere feels genuine and lively, but at times it felt a bit cramped. Service was pleasant but had its hiccups. I might stop by again if I’m in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" Charming ambiance, but found the food a bit underwhelming. I expected a lot given the hype. My mere risotto was heavily reliant on garlic and lacked the depth of flavor I was anticipating. Service staff was friendly but scattered, resulting in longer wait times for basic needs. It’s a good place for casual dinners if you're nearby, but may not be worth a special trip. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Bistrot Du Coin was a delightful experience. The coq au vin was beautifully prepared, and I enjoyed every bite of my meal. It had a true French touch that left me yearning for more. The staff we encountered were friendly and provided great suggestions from the menu. I'm looking forward to coming back to try other dishes and possibly bringing a few friends along for the fun! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant was a bit of a mixed bag for us. The ambiance is certainly charming, with so many French decorations that it almost feels like you've stepped into a cafe in Paris. However, I found the food to be just okay. My coq au vin was well-prepared, but my husband's steak didn’t quite hit the mark—it was overcooked. Service was efficient if not particularly attentive. I might give it another shot, but not at the top of my list. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Bistrot Du Coin for the first time and I was enchanted by the ambiance. It lived up to its reputation as a quintessential French bistro. The attention to detail in decor is commendable. While the food was decent, I expected a more robust flavor from the traditional dishes. The rabbit stew was tender, but the accompanying side wasn't very memorable. I'd recommend this place for the charm and atmosphere, but perhaps stick to the classics that seem to have a flair. The service was attentive albeit slightly rushed. " (*Curated Review*)
