Black Forest cake
Nabil M.

I ordered from Emmy French corner costume cake for my dad's birthday and it was awesome,the chef was very helpful and he did like what I requested, the flavor of the cherry was fresh and about the it price was correct,during the pickup order the staff was professional also the pastry looks so pretty like French style

This place is just too adorable--from their packaging to their beautiful desserts. Serving some incredible French desserts, I'm always impressed and craving another bite. There is so much attention to detail with every aspect and it makes the experience amazing.

Pain au Chocolat
Peter D.

Really modern bakery in the Shaw neighborhood! Had to swing by when I saw the assortment of pastries on Instagram. Ended up picking up a pain au chocolat and loved it. It came out freshly baked and it definitely tasted divine. The counter employees were also super friendly and made sure I got the best pick! Would definitely come back again

Kailee B.

Their dessert are really good. I got the Tarte Emmy: A buttery tart shell filled with airy pistachio mousse and a smooth raspberry crémeux. The perfect balance between the nutty richness of pistachio and the fruity tang of raspberry refined, fresh, and irresistible. It was delicious!! However their Chai would not recommend. Its not chai, its syrup and milk. Thats not true chai unfortunately. Always ask how they make the drinks just incase. Overall the service was fine and the ambiance is pretty.

As we walked back to the U Street, 13th street, Metro, my niece spotted this restaurant and said it was a TikTok place :) Not as busy on a Friday night. Tiny sitting areas however. Nice, bright and clean. She got a mango and strawberry pastry (or something). Both items came to $28!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Mango was GOOOOOOOOOOOD, strawberry not so good All workers were pleasant

This is one of the cutest little French bakeries in DC. I just love the overall ambiance even though it's simple. I stopped by earlier today to try their viral cakes. I got the strawberry cake and it was ok. I expected it to be much sweeter and I wanted more cake. The service was nice and they were pretty quick, these pastries are pricey so be prepared for that. Clean, cute, and cozy. Perfect for a little date.

A mango trompe l'oeil pastry and lemon filled madeline.

The place is cute, clean, and has a wide variety of pastries and coffees. I got an almond milk latte (not pictured) that was very good. The only thing I would improve is an addition of sugar free syrups to the coffee menu. I will definitely return.

With Emmy, they are known for their fruit shaped desserts, and they excel at that. The mango dessert I had was whimsical, fun, and didn't compromise on flavor given the presentation. I wanted to try more fruits but they were sadly out of it. This is what they're known for and I'd suggest coming here for that. When I went, it was packed and crowded. I got the cheesecake which was one-dimensional and had a texture that was more like a sponge cake. I had a friend that also came here after me that said customer service for her was a bit lacking.

Mango's and Pistachio
Natasha P.

Me and wife stopped here after brunch. We saw this place on TikTok and said next time we're in DC we have to try it. My wife said the vibe Inside is cozy and intimate. She ordered two mango's and Pistachio to go. Service was quick and decent. I took a picture as soon as she got in the car and we dug in. I can honestly say I've never had a dessert like that with so much texture and just good tastes Although this is a tasty treat it seems a little over priced to me

Strawberry
Alexis G.

So, was influenced from TikTok to come here lolol. Came after work, so around 4:45 pm and thankfully they still had some strawberries. I'll have to come back earlier in the day to get a lemon. Anyway, the strawberry is $16. Is it worth $16? It's light and nice for summer and total social media aesthetic vibes. The strawberry is covered in white chocolate with a light strawberry moose and strawberry jam filling on top of a white cake. IDK if it's worth $16. IMO the cake was dry AF and my husband thinks it was pre-bought. Also, from being in a fridge all day it was slightly frozen inside. I am curious about there crepes, so if I'm ever on U st, I'll come back to try those. Service is definitely quick and I could tell they were busy when I came because none of the tables were cleared. Once I entered, I saw someone cleaning a table for us to sit, which was nice.

Pilar C.

The pastries were amazing fresh and delicious, not too sweet and quality ingredients. The shop was really cute, with French music and all. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because the iced Chai I got was way too sweet. With less it would've been great.

Lovedddd the French Ambiance
Paris M.

Of course my 7 year old convinced me to go here to try their fruit deserts. It's a very nice corner pastry spot down on U Street. The ambiance gives very elegant and French vibes. The service was top tier. The workers there were so nice and helpful in helping us choose the deserts we wanted to try. We decided on strawberry, mango, lemon, and hazelnut. Me and my daughter were a big fan of the lemon and mango. We also tried the peach, dubai chocolate, & the pear which we weren't a big fan of but all of them are good you just gotta find your flavor

Desserts with a fruit illusion
Lucky P.

Took a break from the cold in this cute corner cafe. You're greeted by the friendly staff and the sight of cute desserts. We took lots of pictures with Parisian style furniture. Ordered a chai latte and substituted milk with oat milk. It was warm and light, perfect for cold weather at night! We walked from a friend's place but there's paid street parking available.

Fantastic dinner in a more artsy/hip area of Washington DC…read more In the beginning, the dinner's pacing felt a little rushed when we sat down, but after we ordered, everything came out at a sensible pace, they weren't rushing to have you leave so someone else can have your table.

We were sat in the solarium area, and it was during the heat dome, and it was really warm in there. Otherwise, though, it's completely charming inside and reminds us of some of the best French bistros we've been to in the country (e.g. Balzathar, Le Supreme). The three cocktails we tried--the frose, le jardin, and the clouseau--were all stunners. And of course the bread deserves another special mention, *especially* the room temperature butter. Thank you for not serving hard as hell butter! We shared the warm shrimp salad to start, and for $31, we were expecting more than a few avocado slices and 4 shrimp on it, but c'est la vie. The dressing was incredible, and the greens were crunchy. That's actually the only dish of the night that we thought was unfairly overpriced. One of us ordered the burger and the other got the rabbit pappardelle--you've got to get rabbit when you see it on a menu, which isn't often enough! There was a good amount of super tender meat and the pasta was perfectly al dente, all in a lightly stunning sauce. Chef's kiss. The burger was, no surprise, another triumph. There was juicy meat, bun integrity, and all the right accouterment notes. The fries are standard. Our daughter got their mac-n-cheese, which is probably just the gratin dish renamed. It was OK. We kind of got out of control for dessert and ordered the pot de creme, the cookie dough ice cream, and the profiteroles. Honestly, these were all good, but nothing that stood out as exemplary as with the savory stuff. Our only major complaint was the service. It was really spotty and while there was a very, very long gap in between when we got our water and then put in our drinks, but our mains came out almost directly after the salad. And the guy was just not very hospitable. Not necessarily a "bad" experience...it just could have been a lot better. Four stars, and we have already declared that we will be back again to "The Dip" because there is so much else on the menu that we want to try.

We visited La Grande Boucherie with my family and made a reservation about two days in advance…read more When we arrived, we were initially seated on the second floor, which wasn't very convenient for my parents. Although they offered us the elevator, it was located on the opposite side of the restaurant, making it a bit difficult. I asked if it would be possible to move to the first floor, and they kindly accommodated our request, which we really appreciated. The food was absolutely delicious, and the drinks were just as good. The portions are quite generous, so if you're not a big eater, you may want to consider sharing a dish. One thing to note is that the restrooms are gender-neutral. While they were very clean, I found this a little inconvenient when visiting with children. If you plan to go on a weekend, expect the restaurant to be lively and a bit noisy. Also, avoid the parking lot next door if possible--it was very chaotic and not worth the hassle. Overall, we had a wonderful dining experience with excellent food, great drinks, and friendly service. I'd definitely recommend it, especially if you enjoy French cuisine.

We had a great experience as the service was excellent and attentive. Our waitress, Sou Sou, was kind, helpful, and had lots of good suggestions. Only complaint, which likely wasn't her fault, is the dessert took a while to come out so we ended up spending longer at dinner than we'd hoped. To start we ordered the escargot and French onion soup, which we enjoyed with delicious bread. Pretty standard but on the pricy side compared to other options in the city. For mains we got steak frites and the wagyu burger. The steak was well crusted, seasoned, and cooked to a nice medium rare, but the knife could've been sharper, was struggling to cut it haha. Small detail. The wagyu burger was a bit disappointing, as the bottom bun was burnt -- we like it toasted but you could taste the char -- and it also got very soggy quickly and didn't hold well. The flavors were there though, and the fries and sauces were all good. For dessert, the basque cheesecake was delicious and the profiteroles were a bit harder than others we've had and underwhelming, but ice cream and chocolate sauce is always a saving grace. Overall, DC has a ton of good food including great French places that may be a better bang for your buck. But La Grande Boucherie is a great spot to impress a date, client, etc. if you're looking for a high end night out, and enjoy a nice steak / French cuisine.

We came here with a few friends for an early dinner, making reservations in advance. Once seated, we decided to order some starters to share: +the Warm Pistachio Crusted Goat Cheese Ball - with honey and red wine caramelized onions +Chicken Liver Mousse - with white wine gelee, apricot, pickled veggies, and an onion marmalade +Baked Camembert de Normandie - with confit garlic, thyme, and honey +and, an Onion Soup for the hubs - prepared with beef broth, croutons, and Gruyere For our entrees, I went for the Steak-Frites, which came with a hanger steak and shallot sauce; you can sub the usual fries with truffle fries, which I recommend! My counterparts enjoyed their Long Island Duck Breakfast (with seared asparagus, cumin carrot puree, cippolini onions, and port sauce), the Maryland Rockfish (with artichoke barigoule, carrots, brasied fennel, and noilly prat sauce), and the Local Roasted Chicken (with English peas, carrots, baby potatoes, and truffle jus). If you want to sop up your sauce with bread, don't forget to order the breadbasket! Staff were friendly and checked-in on our party throughout our dining experience; the place is cozy and vibrant, and seems to be pretty popular.

Dispelling the myth that French cuisine is pretentious, we felt like we were in a home, and that we would be fed full to the brim. Came in while it was packed late into the night. We were sat immediately and had a wonderful time. Our waitresses were patient and had great recommendations for our first time trying French food. They seem incredibly experienced and added comfort in the way they spoke to their customers and ran their tables. We were even greeted by the owner who was great and cheery to each table he visited. The one night we went, it was incredibly packed with people having intimate, lighthearted, and laughter-filled gatherings, tables with multiple rounds of wine, everyone sharing their fries, and so he should feel proud of this place. Touches like this made it as though we were dining in someone's house. And I love that they start you off generously with bread and butter. Its a type of french loaf that is nice and fluffy, and I'd recommend setting some on the side if you're ordering a brothy dish. We ordered Moules Marinières, which came in a delightfully large cauldron of juicy plump clean muscles swimming in an herbaceous-garlicky white wine sauce. Unassumable from the simplicity of ingredients they threw together, but incredibly complex in flavor. This is one of the few times I actually tasted bay leaf, and amongst the fewer times I found the use of rosemary not be so overpowering. The mussel liquor at the bottom was perfect when soaked up in bread. What an incredible dish. We also tried a classic, Le Steak Maison, which was also distinctively flavorful. Our steak had a perfect cook at medium rare, and was uniquely seasoned with some sort of blend of herbes de provence. The fries were pretty standard and substantial, but paired with the Béarnaise sauce, it was such a tangy play of richness and acidity. Again really simple ingredients just executed so well. Great job, looking forward to coming again to try more on this large menu.

It was around 70 outside and warmer in. Our server was so sweet and very consistently checking in and making sure we had what we needed. The food was great. The oysters were fresh and briney. The omelet and Benedict were served perfect. The omelet itself was so fluffy and rich with the side salad being a perfect addition. Sadly, the fries were on the soggy side. A bonus was the complimentary bread, which was a crunchy baguette served with homemade butter. Overall it was a good experience and would be interested in trying dinner when the mood lighting makes more sense.
