Café du Parc

I think it's been close to a decade since I've been to Cafe du Parc, but on a recent walk downtown I re-discovered it!Tucked away in the historic Willard Hotel, the cafe is a cute little nook that's great for a quick meeting or go grab a beverage to go.They have so many beautiful French baked goods, but on this visit I stayed away from those and just opted for an iced latte. The barista made it with love and I was on my way. Even though the space is rather small, there is a decent amount of seating and I've yet to see it packed (although I'm sure that is only because I've dropped by during off peak times.) But definitely a great, accessible option near the White House to grab a cup of coffee!

Stopped here for lunch after a morning tour of the White House. It is a large restaurant and we thankfully were quickly seated despite not having a reservation. The restaurant has cute French bistro vibes.I really enjoyed my moules frites and thought it was a pretty large portion. My family members ordered burgers and they all enjoyed them. Service was just fine.This restaurant is one of the better lunch options near the White House and I'm glad we found it!

Café du Parc is a French Bistro/Brasserie located in a semi-detached building at The Willard International Hotel in Washington, DC. It's a handy place to eat if you are staying at the hotel, and you might want to give it a try even if you are not.There's a small grab and go area downstairs where you can get a coffee, sandwich, or pastry. The offerings here are very nice, and compare with high end coffee shops in the area. There's a small dining area downstairs as well, and out front there's outdoor seating that would be nice in suitable weather. Unfortunately, it wasn't available when I visited. Then there's the larger dining areas upstairs which seat more people than one would think.The menu is limited, but adequate. One can find some good choices. It should be noted that the menu and pricing are the same as the Round Robin Bar in The Willard, so you can eat at either place.If you are an International Ambassador, you might get a free breakfast amenity. It's worth taking advantage of that if you do. The breakfast/brunch offerings were great, and included enough variety for a few days. The quality was great and the service fast and attentive. It's a bit pricy, but pretty much in keeping with quality establishments in the area.

Great casual vibe with an extensive lunch menu. The kitchen really pays attention to details. Even the simplest thing -- Salade Nicoise -- was done to perfection. Tuna was rare, haricot verts were perfectly blanched. Greens crisp and perfect amount of dressing, Fishes were beautifully prepared. Charcuterie and cheese plate were varied in tastes and textures. Great place to enjoy a special lunch!

Inside the Willard near the White House is a small cafe with coffee drinks, pastries, and more. Before seeing the White House 2024 holiday decorations, we stopped in for lattes and breakfast. The hazelnut latte was average, but the spinach and feta croissant was good! My seven-year-old daughter LOVED their hot chocolate with whipped cream.

We stopped in for lunch while visiting DC. The restaurant has a serious European feel nice menu selection. I had the chicken breast with french mashed potatoes and green beans and my wife had the french onion soup a meal in its own the chicken was a bit on the small side but was extremely good the mashed potatoes were the best I have ever had hands down a serious 11 green beans were fresh and crispy the service was first rate our server was fantastic coffee always refilled water as well food came out fast and hot my wife had to let the soup cool a bit as it was steaming as it arrived table side we were treated like kings you will not be disappointed

My favorite patio to dine on near downtown DC- Cafe du Parc marries French cafe favorites with Parisian cafe culture/people watching. In the summer their gazpacho is amazing and in the winter a cappuccino and steak frites are perfect to warm up. I love the indoor space but prefer to join when the weather allows to sit outside and especially appreciate that the patio is dog-friendly! Make a reservation and prepare for excellent service and flavors!

Came to cafe du parc and it was overall a good experience. It's a very cute upscale French bistro vibes where you're able to get your bang for your buck.My recommendation is to get the garlic butter mussels. They are so buttery and the amount you get is worth the money. The bread on the side is so crispy and buttery as well. There were a few Sandy mussels at the bottom so just beware but exceeded expectations.Had the Willard burger which was not super special. It was a regular burger (needed just more sauce and wish the burger was juicer) but the fries were incredible. They were so skinny yet crispy.The chocolate cherry macaron was a great dessert to share between two people. The amaretto ice cream packs a punch and there is a good balance between the cherry and chocolate (and it doesn't taste artificial at all). Our server Adilia was incredible. She made sure me and my friends needs were met, and was so funny.

Such a cute little cafe attached to the Willard hotel in Washington DC. The service is pretty fast. Staff is friendly. They have such a cute menu for pastries and items. Their coffee is really good! I got a cappuccino and it was done just right!

There are 473 reviews for the restaurant at historic Willard Hotel. This is where you make a video piece that you play on weekend television. It's a historic hotel and I hadn't heard of it. I went on a tour today. This is Intercontinental hotel chain. The restaurant and cafe are nice and pricey. It's for professionals. It's open. Essentially, why ask why you are getting pastry. Nice atmosphere. Says it's French sidewalk style. On a sunny day. The sun with the blue awnings..It made my day.
