Le Diplomate

Le Diplomate pays a sincere homage to French cafe culture by creating a friendly, adaptable gathering spot that has become an anchor for the revitalized 14th Street corridor in Washington, D.C.

Painstakingly built out of a historic structure that harnesses the artful spirit of a Parisian brasserie, the interior and exterior pay subtle tribute to tradition, imbuing every meal with a sweeping sense of European drama. On the broad menu, you'll find classic French dishes like onion soup gratinée, beefsteak, and escargots, as well as daily specials like bouillabaisse and cassoulet. The journey is completed by a well picked wine list and unique cocktail menu.
