Great food and ambiance, we ordered the lamb chops, salmon, fish, all delicious. Definitely recommend it.

I treated my friend to brunch after seeing all the hype on TikTok, Yelp, and Instagram, and it absolutely lived up to it! This was easily one of the most entertaining brunches I've experienced in the DMV, while still maintaining an upscale vibe. From the singer taking special requests during brunch to the live entertainment afterward, drummers, dancers, and a saxophonist turning things into a full brunch party...we were thoroughly entertained from start to finish. What really stood out, though, was that the food matched the energy. At some places, you get great entertainment but mediocre food - not here. Everything was beautifully presented, served at the perfect temperature, and genuinely delicious. My friend was so impressed with her birthday celebration that she thanked me for days afterward. The service was impeccable, the space is stunning with plenty of Instagram-worthy moments, and despite how busy it was, it somehow still felt warm and welcoming. If you're in the mood to get dressed up, enjoy an upscale brunch, celebrate a special occasion, or impress someone on a date, this is definitely the place. I'm already looking forward to my next brunch party here! read more

Gorgeous restaurant! I felt very underdressed but I loved the vibrant atmosphere. STARTER: Prosciutto - very large portion, had plenty to take home, thinly sliced and addictive ENTREE: Hanger Steak Au Poivre $56 10 oz black angus hanger steak, pomme frites & green beans, green peppercorn sauce *I really enjoyed the steak but I didn't finish it because I polished off 2 trays of bread by myself...andddd I don't regret it. COCKTAILS: Smoked Old Fashioned $18 BB Bourbon, BB House Bitters, Syrup, Smoke *I loved the smokiness of the drink and it went great with the bread because I had no self control... Our service was consistent throughout dinner and they packed up all of our leftovers very nicely and set them aside on the counter while we chatted and they didn't rush us with the bill like a lot of establishments do. **Would you believe it that the server packed me a to go box of bread? I am dead. I could not stop laughing when I saw that. I will definitely be back! ;) read more

Barbouzard is a French Mediterranean restaurant with Riviera inspired ambiance and cuisine. The service was very good and our food came out quickly. We ordered the salmon, filet mignon, branzino, lobster pasta and paella. Everyone enjoyed their meals and had no complaints. It's perfect for a date night or a special occasion small group dinner. On Saturday nights they have a DJ that starts around 10 pm. read more

tl;dr - Really good service, but the wait time for food was long. We arrived around 6 PM and left 2.5 hours later. The ambiance was nice, and my friend and I enjoyed our time yapping and eating. ESCARGOTS "CROQUE MONSIEUR" - 22 The escargot was incredibly garlicky and filled with fresh parsley, and it was tender and sweet. Our server gave us complimentary bread service to enjoy the leftover butter which was delicious. ONION SOUP GRATINÉE - 18 The best French onion soup I've ever had. There was a thick layer of melted gruyére cheese that draped over a bowl of miso-based vegetable broth mixed with a generous amount of soft, caramelized onion. The soup was rich and flavorful, and I even peeled most of the cheese off the bowl because it was that good. My friend and I both enjoyed this greatly. STEAK TARTARE - 26 Our server really hyped up the steak tartare saying it was one of the best he's eaten, but we thought it was overly salty. My friend thought it was a bit sour. We also didn't love how heavy it was since it was topped with cubed fries. LA PAELLA DE CASSOULET - 58 By the time we got to the paella, we were already really full. The portion size looked really big since it was wide, but it was actually less than half an inch deep. The rice was delicious, filled with flavors of duck fat, seasoning, sausage, and pork belly. However, it was a bit too rich and thick after a few bites, and we got tired. A bit too heavy overall, but we would definitely recommend the escargot and French onion soup. Maybe we'll get the cured hamachi crudo next time since it's a much lighter option. read more

As they say in French "Magnifique!!!!" For my birthday celebration, my boyfriend surprised me with a lovely dinner at Barbouzard. This gem is a triple threat for quality wait staff, unique drinks, and exotic food/desserts. I would even go the extra mile and say that their decor is top as it offers a sexy ambiance with its beautiful modern French/Mediterranean decor-STUNNING! To the wait staff, thank you so much for making my birthday magical. Our waiter, Mario, was AMAZING! He was very knowledgeable with parings, and recommending the best of the best! But what left us more shocked is that he was excellent at analyzing our taste to anticipate our selections and boy was he on point for each guess lol it made dining exciting. To start, we ordered a shot of Ocho tequila reposado which can only be described as smooth and easy to enjoy! Next, my boyfriend ordered the smoked old fashioned and I ordered the Nina Rose, both of which were phenomenal in taste. We ordered 2 starters: Mini Tartelettes, Crab & Caviar- this appetizer was spectacular! The caviar added a perfect balance of savoriness to the crab and the flaky pastry folded the dish together for an immediate trip down flavor town. From there we ordered the Escargots And Garlic Butter and that in itself was scrumptious! The garlic butter gave the escargot big personality and we probably could have ended the night there but we kept going lol For entrees we ordered: Lobster à l'Américaine- a moment of silence as we acknowledge the beauty behind this dish. Not only was it savory but I appreciated how well each ingredient supported each other, with no one flavor overpowering the next. There was a generous serving of lobster added and the dish was large enough to take leftovers. I absolutely loved this pasta! My boyfriend ordered the Loup de Mer au Fenouil and he loved how flaky and delightful the fish was from start to finish. He also raved about how perfectly seasoned it was and that he thoroughly enjoyed the meal. He did order a side of spinach which was lightly sautéed and buttery. To end the evening, I received a complimentary birthday chocolate presented by Mario and another staff member-how beautiful was that?! The chocolate of course was to die for. We also decided to order their Piémontaise Hazelnut Souflé and honey, let's just say that hazelnut never shined so bright. Supported by a delightful Tahitian vanilla créme anglaise, this dessert was delectable and comforting. We're already planning to support their brunch soon and return for dinner. This place was worth it!!!!! 10/10 read more

The good: turns into a night club vibe at 2pm for those that like that kind of thing. It was definitely giving French riveria vibes with the live music, dancers and spinning napkins everywhere. The bad: the FOOD! Tried about 3-4 dishes as I was with a party of 12. Hated everything. Could barely swallow the burger it was so bad! How do you mess up a burger??! Will definitely return if I eat a proper meal somewhere else first and then come just for the entertainment! Entertainment was 10/10! read more

Great spot! They have a huge variety of delicious wines and French food. Came in for dinner and got some appetizers and small plates. Highlights were the escargot and the fried bread appetizer, along with the steak tartare. I hear it's really a good brunch spot so would love to check it out. The service was very accommodating and they paid a lot of attention to our table, even when they were busy. The bartenders are also very knowledgeable and were helpful picking drinks and making us something special. read more

oh my GOD what an absolute treat. I went to Barbouzard for brunch this past Sunday for my birthday, and wow oh WOW it couldn't have been any better. The ambiance, with its creams and sharp lines, is the perfect balance of elegant and inviting, and the wait staff is extremely kind and helpful. The food is DELICIOUS: I got the steak and fries, which were cooked to perfection, super fresh oysters, and my relatives got the leek omelette (best I've ever tasted) and the tasty escargot. The live singer was amazing, and the brunch party with a live sax player and drummer topped it all off! I cannot wait to be back! read more

My first visit to Barbouzard was an absolute standout. From the moment I arrived, I was seated promptly, kicking off an evening of good service and even better food. It wasn't too busy and quite quiet so that may have played a role but I can't complain. We started with the Mi Thai and the Smoky Old Fashioned (I'm a mezcal lover so this flavor profile sparked my interest). The Old Fashioned was well made and hit those strong, bold notes, while the Mi Thai was lighter but balanced. The mini tartlets with crab and caviar were the stars of the opening act. They were perfect little bites, with a good balance between saltiness and texture. On our waiter's excellent recommendation, we also tried the scallops. The sauce had a subtle curry kick that really elevated the dish. For the entrees, the lobster pasta was a pleasant surprise. I didn't expect such a generous portion, but it was plentiful and packed with large chunks of fresh lobster in a delicious sauce. We also shared the duck paella. The rice had that authentic crust bottom-like paella texture, and the duck leg was incredibly flavorful. It was a well done dish in both taste and technique. We couldn't leave without trying the Caviamisu. As a play on tiramisu designed to look like caviar, it was visually stunning and well-balanced. While the coffee flavor wasn't overpowering, I did feel it could have used a bit more texture on top to round it out. Also, the warm date pudding was quite sweet, but it came with ice cream and the toasted sesame seeds provided a necessary "toasty" balance that made it a hit. Overall, the service was attentive and truly impeccable throughout the night. Barbouzard is pricey but certainly lived up to the hype, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit. read more

So first off the food is great, and my rating is taking off for the ambiance of the restaurant. I wish I had known this is mostly a nightclub feel not a fine dining experience. Loved everything we had. Scallops were top notch though the sauce I think would do better with different flavors. I think the biggest thing people should know coming here is this is an absolute night club / housewives of fill in the blank city vibe. Not at all what I am looking for. Me and my partner both agreed that while the food was very good we will never be back. BUT if you're looking to party to loud music and people dressed like they are in a reality show with great food .... You have found your new spot. read more

It's been a while where I can say service is close to impeccable, but it is here. The service in the dining room is a 10, at the bar, a 9.5. I just found the service in the dining room as a bit more personable, but I'm biased since I knew a waiter from a previous restaurant. They do a great job of cleaning between courses and making sure you're topped off, etc. Shout out to Joseph (the assistant manager and sommelier), and Eli and Carlos, the lovely waiters! For Joseph, he created one of the most beautiful, bountiful wine lists ever. He took a wine course (which I'm also taking!), and he used that knowledge to input the wine list on iPads, making it easier for those that don't know wine to find something just for them. He divides it by wine type and country of origin, and even region within a country. So cool! For the food, the only thing I'd say is that they need to cut the salt by 10-15% for the beef items. I noticed that the beef was overall salty, and I had two beef plates: tartare and a hanger steak. The cook and the look was perfect, and I've had both items time and again, so the salt was a tad overpowering for me. The cook (or lack thereof for the tartare) was perfect for the steak. I'm going to try the daube, or the beef stew next. If that's a tad too salty, then I'd have to conclude that the beef dishes in general are a tad too much. Because the foie gras opera was one of the most innovative ways to eat foie gras and the balance between salt, fat, and sweet was impeccable. Perfectly balanced, even the port jelly and the preserved cherry. Everything supported that rich foie gras to perfection! I highly recommend the foie gras opera and the gran marnier soufflé dessert. The bottle of grand cru Klepka Sausse champagne had beautiful notes of ripe fruit like apples and notes honey. Lovely and safe! The raw seafood was fresh and the gougère appetiser was interesting but not my cup of tea. However, if you want something light, those are the ones to go for along with a glass of Chablis. read more

I went here for happy hour with some friends and they had tasty food for a really good deal - a burger and fries for $12, a big plate of pasta for $16, a large serving of gougeres for $12, and so on. All the dishes were well-made and filling. I think the crepes Basques were my favorite bite off that menu, but the gougeres were a close second. We also really enjoyed the souffle and the sticky toffee pudding for dessert. The only real miss was the chocolate cake, which tasted a bit stale and didn't pair well with the saffron sauce. All in all .I would return for happy hour again! read more

The food was mid - nothing was really memorable. Neither bad nor great. And then when you factor in the prices just seems like a classic overpriced average DC restaurant. The salmon was probably the best dish. The pomodoro was ok. House bread seemed generic and the appetizer was underwhelming. Despite there being a plethora of servers, service was quite slow (not clearing appetizer plates when food was served) or that drinks came after appetizer. Ambiance is quite warm and bright - there were booths and tables. Seating was comfortable. The space was nicely decorated for the holidays. read more

I went last week on a Thursday. The group we had was a business dinner. The octopus appetizer was excellent! I could eat 5 of them. I had the steak and it was excellent. My colleagues were very happy. The drinks were also fantastic. The overall mix of the restaurant was professional and classy dressed but no one in the restaurant gave that impression that it could have been business casual. For a K St restaurant I liked it a lot and can't wait to bring the wife. read more

4.5 stars 'very good' We had a nice pre-Christmas meal here and were blown away by the decor and professionalism. Brandade de morue - more plentiful than I anticipated, but comfort food, soft dish of cod-potato spread, not overly salty Panisse & scallion - a rare treat to have chickpea pancake wafers (think thick crackers) with a fluffy green topping (which I forgot was scallion foam and pine nuts) Soupe à l'oignon - he had this, but felt it was too salty ('soy sauce') and said he prefers the traditional beef stock recipe [which saddened me as I appreciate a rare option to have a vegetarian onion soup] Oysters - Pink moon oysters were fresh and deep with nice serving platter Salmon a la vapeur - very tender serving, with a nice sorrel butter sauce atop a bed of wilted spinach (given all else ordered, I couldn't finish) Linguine alle Vongole - he liked this but said it was unexpectedly spicy Souffle - this tasted lemony and airy, perfectly cooked with a dusting of confectioners sugar Caviamisu - an unconventional take given the chocolate pearls on the top, but otherwise the typical, very marscapone heavy, classic Getting over a cold, we both just had teas so couldn't speak to the other drink offerings. read more

Went here for a friend's birthday and had an incredible experience. We sat in the Champagne Lounge, which set the perfect tone for the night, stylish, intimate, and fun. The music did get louder later in the evening, but it fit the lively vibe and didn't take away from the experience. The service was phenomenal! The bar gets pretty packed later on, as expected, so I would get there earlier if you want a seat Sea Bass // Absolute standout of the night. Perfectly cooked, flavorful, and easily one of the best dishes we've had here. Highly recommend. Burrata & Halloumi // The burrata itself was phenomenal, creamy and fresh. Only small issue: we requested no olives, and it still came with them. Otherwise, delicious and beautifully plated. Steak Frites (Hanger Steak & Fries) // Just okay compared to the other dishes. The sauce was flavorful, but overall the sea bass was better. Mini Tartelettes, Crab & Caviar// A must-order. The crab filling was delicious and rich. The caviar flavor was subtle, but the bites as a whole were fantastic. Escargot // So good we ordered it twice. Buttery, garlicky, and full of flavor Scallops // Good, not great. Nicely cooked but on the lighter side, so it works better as an hors d'oeuvre rather than a full meal. Tiramisu // Gorgeous presentation. It looked almost like a little tin of caviar? super creative plating read more

What a fantastic dining experience! We started the evening early by arriving in time for Golden Hour. We found two seats at the bar and enjoyed cocktails and a half dozen oysters. Service was simply outstanding. The bartender Lorenzo was friendly, attentive and made sure we had a great time. We moved to the dining room at our reservation time and continued to enjoy outstanding service. We decided to share several dishes--grilled octopus, gougeres, Caesar salad, and prosciutto. The gougeres practically melted in my mouth. The octopus was grilled to perfection. The salad was what a Caesar should be. Everything was delicious and my only regret is that we were too full for dessert. I can't wait to visit DC again and try more. Barbouzard is a must visit in DC. read more

I visited Barbouzard twice in one week -- it's that good! The vibe is chic yet comfortable, perfect for a date night or dinner with friends. Their cocktails are phenomenal -- hands down the best lemon drops and espresso martinis I've had in DC. Perfectly balanced, smooth, and beautifully presented. For food, I tried the grilled octopus, green salad, branzino, steak with green beans, and the lamb chops. Everything was fresh and flavorful, with the octopus cooked to tender perfection and the lamb chops bursting with rich, savory flavor. The branzino was light and delicious, and the steak was cooked exactly how I like it. Service was friendly and attentive on both visits, which made the experience even better. I'm already looking forward to going back -- Barbouzard has quickly become one of my favorite spots in DC! read more

We were greeted, and they checked out coats as we came in. The menu had so many good options. We here for restaurant week, $65 for appetizer, entree, and dessert. I had the chopped Nicoise Salad, followed by Saumon Vapeur, ending with the Warm Mahool. Date Pudding. My husband had the Burrata & Feta Salad, followed by the Daube de Boeuf Provençale, ending with the Poire Belle Michele. Plus for my birthday they added a little balloon chocolate mousse with a matcha coated chocolate shell, and a raspberry tail on the plate. The food was all amazing, I've never had anything like that sauce on the Salmon, it was both creamy and refreshing at the same time, a basil infused oil with a buttermilk emulsion. I'm dropping it from 5 stars because by the end of the meal the server disappeared. Other diners near by were offered tea/coffee with dessert, and we weren't also they left the oil/vinegar plates for the bread, in case we wanted more. And then took them away anyway 2 minutes later when the entrees dropped. I did like that they gave us different colored (blue) water glasses to signal that we were drinking sparkling water, which was brilliant! read more

A phenomenal addition to DC's repertoire. Our waiter Stephane was impeccable. Personable, quirky, perfect level of attentiveness, and dropped little nuggets of information about essentially everything. I'd want to return just to have him as our waiter again! Service overall was perfect, with a lovely ambiance. Cocktails were interesting with great fresh flavors. I requested a Last Word since I saw green chartreuse was in another drink and wow, they made it using an in house gin and it was simply the best I've had. Punchy and bright. Bread service was excellent, delicious baguette. Appetizers were a bit middling. Panisse and scallion was outstanding. Confit carrots were cooked perfectly... but found them a bit underseasoned with a labneh sauce that underwhelmed. Burrata halloumi Greek salad just needed some more croutons and it would be perfect as when everything was in one bite it was delightful... if not it could be unimpressive. Rabbit ragout was tasty, but not necessarily memorable. The classic clam linguine was flawless. Delicious pavlova and a wonderfully complex pour of Gilles Brisson VS to end the night. A definite 4.5, and we'll absolutely be returning to try some other offerings! read more

Recently dined at Barbouzard (1700 K St NW), the buzzy new spot channeling the effortless elegance of the French Riviera right in the heart of Washington, DC. Helmed by acclaimed Chef Cedric Maupillier, this place nails that sophisticated-yet-vibrant Mediterranean vibe--think plush seating, gilded accents, live music, and a menu that beautifully blends classic French refinement with coastal flavors from Provence to North Africa. The food was genuinely excellent. We started with the Onion Soup Gratinée (rich, cheesy perfection) and some Mini Tartelettes, then moved on to standout entrees like the Loup de Mer au Fenouil (perfectly grilled sea bass with fennel), Grilled Lamb Chops, Cassoulet, and a decadent Filet Mignon. The Jumbo Tiger Prawns were plump and flavorful, and the charcuterie touches (like Prosciutto di San Daniele) added that luxurious touch. Desserts, including the Mini Tartelettes, wrapped things up sweetly without feeling overly heavy. Everything was fresh, well-executed, and beautifully presented--definitely elevated fine dining without being stuffy. Service was a highlight too. Our server, Ezra, was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and kept the flow smooth for our group. The atmosphere felt special--candlelit, lively, and perfect for a celebratory night out. That said, one thing really soured the experience: the unexpected 4% operations fee tacked onto our nearly $900 subtotal (adding about $33). It showed up on the bill out of nowhere, with no clear mention on the physical menu we browsed or any verbal heads-up from the server before we ordered. While I understand restaurants face rising costs (especially post-Initiative 82 changes in DC), a spontaneous surcharge like this feels sneaky when it's not transparently disclosed upfront. It turned what should have been a seamless, high-end meal into a moment of frustration at the end. Overall, Barbouzard delivers on food quality, ambiance, and service--it's a welcome addition to downtown DC and worth trying if you're craving that Riviera flair. Just be prepared for the extra fee (it's noted on their website, but it wasn't obvious during our visit). I'd go back for the cuisine and vibe, but I'd appreciate more upfront transparency next time. Great spot, minus the surprise charge. read more

Food was good, but not outstanding. Caesar salad cut too small and too much dressing. Squid needed one more minute on the grill. Onion soup a bit bland. Cheese salad needed more chick pea to balance the richness. Service was a bit lax:soup was delivered without a spoon and we had to flag down servers for that as well as water refills. read more

The hospitality was on point right from the door. The host team were incredibly warm, professional, and chic. Mark (our server) greeted us immediately with poise, made excellent recommendations, and the service was rather quick. We were only enjoying some shared plates and appetizers, but every dish was a knockout! The wine selection is on point, and all the wines are excellent food wines - so just point and order, you won't be disappointed. Each dish was purposeful and well thought, the combination of flavors will stay with you long after you depart, and you'll crave returning for more! If you are unfamiliar with Riviera French cuisine, the team are very knowledgeable and will guide you through the experience with clarity and grace. Must haves: Foie Gras Opera, Steak Tartare, Scallops a la Plancha, Hamachi Crudo - maybe the best I've ever had. BRAVO!!!! The ambiance is posh and elegant, lighting is a little bright but not garish - just a bit brighter than most restaurants but it comes off as warm and inviting. Music was a good volume, and I saw a DJ booth for late night reveling - definitely need to come back for that! Management were all over the dining room and were very interactive with guests in a conversational manner, not robotic or forced, just more and more hospitality from every angle. read more

Barbouzard - Peach Melba pavlova - Mediterranean Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Beautiful restaurant and gracious FOH people but then things slowly went off the rails. Starting with drinks - we ordered from the list on the iPad but then a woman came over with a wine list and tried to give us other options. Except, her options were approximately 100% or more up charges. Next is the food, we ordered 4 appetizers and they all came out at the same time. There was barely enough room on the table to maneuver (see pictures). The escargot dish was a big let down, completely overcooked. The waiter never asked if the food was okay, instead, he was more focused on pouring the sparkling wine into our glasses even when the glasses were still half full. At that point, I decided to cut my losses and skipped the main course. We got our dessert and left. read more

I visited Barbouzard for lunch and was immediately impressed by the ambiance. The space is elegant and inviting, with a polished atmosphere that feels upscale yet comfortable. The waitstaff were attentive, friendly, and professional, which added a lot to the overall experience. The food, however, did not live up to the setting. I ordered the mixed greens, an Old Fashioned, the chicken, and coffee. The salad had a nice flavor, though a few brown pieces of lettuce took away from the freshness. The Old Fashioned was actually made very well--smooth and balanced--but the staff didn't quite understand my request for it "chilled," meaning served without ice. The chicken started off promising, with the first bite of the breast tasting delicious, but unfortunately the rest was undercooked. Cutting into it revealed blood, which was disappointing. My server was apologetic and offered to replace it, but I chose not to reorder. Perhaps chicken isn't their strongest dish. The standout item was the homemade sauce served with the fries and vegetables--it was flavorful and memorable. My sister ordered the linguine and also found it lacking. For a restaurant with such a refined atmosphere and excellent service, the food fell short of expectations. While I appreciated the ambiance and the staff's attentiveness, I wouldn't recommend Barbozzard based on this lunch experience and don't plan to return. read more

Stopped by for lunch, had a wonderful dining experience. They have a nice prix-fixe 2 or 3 course lunch offering, with 3 options for each course. The space is very pretty, and excellent attentive service. The food was delicious, starting from the bread service all the way through the bread pudding. Will definitely return to try additional plates. Good pacing on courses, did not feel rushed at all.

Barbouzard idelivers excellent food and a warm, stylish ambiance; the kind of place you want to linger. With a few tweaks to pacing and attentiveness, it could be an easy five. The kitchen is the star. Every plate felt thoughtful and balanced, with vibrant flavors, careful seasoning, and beautiful presentation. Sauces were silky and purposeful, vegetables had real character, and proteins were cooked with precision. Portions were generous without being heavy, and the menu shows a clear confidence--comforting at first bite, but layered enough to stay interesting through the last. The space hits that sweet spot of upscale-casual: soft lighting, comfortable seating, and a soundtrack that complements conversation instead of competing with it. It's lively without being loud, and the room has an inviting flow that makes date night, celebrations, or a long catch-up feel equally at home. The team is friendly and efficient, and courses arrived with great timing. That said, the experience would be even better if staff didn't **frequently interrupt conversations and if they weren't quite so eager to clear plates and glasses that guests are clearly still enjoying. A touch more "read-the-table" restraint would let the ambiance shine. Barbouzard is absolutely worth a visit for its top-tier cooking and welcoming vibe. With slightly more mindful service pacing, it would be a flawless night out. I'll be back and I'll plan to linger over those last bites. read more

I had the fruit plate, Caesar salad (yum) and steak and eggs.
