We went to this restaurant after my friends went and raved about the beef stroganoff and the desserts. Some of our dishes we liked--I enjoyed the french onion soup, and we also ordered chicken cordon bleu that was fine, but the beef bourgiugnon was not worth ordering (much of the meat was overdone and chalky, and it was served, I...

This spacious "cafe" is all about choices. Choose a seat at the always-crowded bar and lounge, at a sometimes-noisy outdoor table, or inside in the somewhat sterile but comfortable restaurant section. The bar attracts a colorful mix of mostly local professionals, unwinding after work, with a sprinkling of tourists and other locals just there to kick back. The outdoor tables... More

I've eaten at Cafe Dupont (and Bar Dupont) several times, and each time I eat there, the food has been great. The service can be sketchy if it's busy, but overall, not bad. Their mussels are perfectly prepared and the truffle fries are divine. We stopped in for a quick snack the other night and tried the fries that have... More

French style cafe on Dupont Circle; the food was outstanding. Order the mussels, any style, you will thank me later. They seemed to do everything well, and the bar was certainly the place to be seen. If you are looking for an appetizer while at the bar, look no further than the truffle fries. Divine. More

I visited Cafe DuPont for the first time for happy hour and it was a lot of fun. The crowd was mixed, tending toward the younger, single side.

This cafe was absolutely delightful. The service was excellent and on top of it all. I came in for bfast and was very surprised. The Omelette Blanche - egg white omelette with spinach, red peppers, n goat cheese was amazing! I couldn't help but order the French Toast also. It was a great experience.....must check this place out. More

The service was spotty and slow. The food was meh. It was certainly a happening bar on a Thursday night - really busy and loud. I was surprised. I think if you don't want to wander far from the hotel and for some reason can't go anywhere else, then this is fine. You won't hate it. More

Sometimes you just want a decent restaurant meal. The location is terrific with great people watching from the outdoor seating in good weather. Decorated in a generic hotel modern style, the dining room has comfortable banquettes for seating which soften the bare tabletops. The mixed drink specials offer unique names for generic cocktails (all of which are $11). We tried... More
