LE GRENIER
You’ll feel like you’ve landed in a French chateau on the Bordeaux countryside when you step into this two-storied, brick-walled bistro on H Street. Between the wide selection of crepes and the oh-so-Francais hanger steak with shallot red wine sauce and frites, you’ll be spoiled for choice. Pair your meal with a glass of red Burgundy for that certain je ne sais quoi.
