    These macaroons are delicious and super soft although on the sweeter side. I got them as a gift from a friend.

    Place is for sure average! Don't get me wrong. I love cutesy, overhyped places, but please sell me the fantasy on arrival! I found the servers very pretentious and rude. Despite this, we had tea and a few pastries.

    While shopping in Georgetown, I found a beautiful, quant place for coffee, hot chocolate and delicious almond croissants! Laduree, the interior ambiance is much like a European, French place with the crown moldings, mirrors and crystal everywhere. The service is prompt and very polite. Space is somewhat cramped if looking for a table; be patient seats open up quickly and the staff is helpful in finding you a table. A bit on the pricy side, but well worth the experience!

    From the first look even outside the window, this place makes me feel so fancy and like i was in France. The aesthetic of the place so different from many other place I usually go to. The service was exceptional. The staff that was checking us out and greeted us always smile and so helpful with her recommendations. We got the cutest box of macarons , cost about $28 without tax but it's so pretty I could use it to put gifts in later! We also got the cutest chocolate bar and the cutest chocolate piece. The chocolate "button" one was so delicious, the right amount of sweets and fragrance. I got different flavors of macarons and oh my goodness, they all tasted so soft still the next day and it's like they melt in my mouth. It is not too sweet and just made with perfection. Love the presentation, love the look, love the bag and box that came with the purchase. Overall, it was a bit expensive but it was worth it. I would definitely come back here for a girl date!

    Harsh critiques. SMH. Their selection of pastries and sweets goes well beyond the infamous macaroons. If you don't automatically feel like a Parisian Princess, then, please get over yourself! Lol! This place is a great stop to pick up gifts and to take a break from shopping!

    This is an iconic macaron shop in Georgetown. It gives off Parisian vibes. We got the Isaphan and Marie-Antoinette which was sweet and just melts in your mouth when you bite into it. The Iced lavender latte was very water down and you can't taste the lavender flavoring at all. It feels like it was filled with my ice than coffee.

    Laduree is well-known for their macarons, but did you know some of their locations offer afternoon tea like the one in Georgetown? Favorites during my afternoon tea jncluded: Club Laduree sandwich (creamy chicken salad sandwich) Plaisir Sucré (not too sweet pastry that's crunchy and filled with hazelnuts, praline, and milk chocolate) Pistachio and coffee macarons Thé Roi Soleil (green tea with hints of rhubarb and caramel) Pro tip: If you're really looking to indulge, add a mocktail to your afternoon tea order ($$)

    What a cute spot! My gals and I decided to have a tea party and found this gem of a spot. Towards the back of the store, there are a few tables which allow for a very fun cozy gathering filled with yummy delights. You have options of savory to sweet. I got the salmon Benedict and others in my group go the breakfast option and another got the avocado toast. Everything was delightful. Now... let me get to the sweets. Never have I ever had such delicious macaroons. Was never a huge macaroon fan but Laduree totally made me a true believer.

    I liked this place for its pretty decorations and display. 1. Tea/coffee: 4 stars It is $6.50 to go and $7.70-$9 if you sit down. That's expensive yet it doesn't taste any special. 2. Cakes: 4 stars The looks are good and they have the afternoon tea, which is very popular. Macarons are delicious and good looking. 3. Service: 1 star Super slow, mean, impolite.

    I wanted to really like Laduree, but I thought the experience was okay. Laduree has a great location in Georgetown right off M Street. There is a parking garage on Thomas Jefferson St that was only $16 (on the weekend), and it was only a few minute walk away. This location is small (like all places in Georgetown), the front half of the store has a bakery counter and the back has a few tables. It looked like they had a few outdoor seats as well, but it was too cold when we visited. They location is small, so if you want to sit down for a meal, I would highly recommend making a reservation. I did the Laduree tea time for $60. I did a pot of tea with my tea time, and they had a good selection. The food came on a tiered tower. The finger sandwiches were good, especially the salmon one, but small. The rest of the tray was just sweets. The macarons were good and you get to pick the flavors. I also picked a chocolate croissant, which I wish had been a little warm. The two sweets of the day just ended up being two bite sized cookies. You also get a half dozen macrons to go. I ended up eating my friends French fries from her sandwich meal, because I needed something savory. If I went again, I would just get a normal meal, the tea time was not worth the price at all. The service was okay. They seemed to have a lot of people working, but it took a while to get the check at the end.

    We enjoyed the macaroons at this establishment. We had actually purchased ones in France at Versailles previously from the same company, these were much better. The shop is located on M street which is the busiest part of Georgetown. It's very nice inside and there were seats available so we sat and enjoyed our macaroons.

    Food - know for their macarons in Paris. Surprising that they have in DC. Love their macarons. Reminds me of my time in France with family. Tried their vanilla flan, good but was somehow thinking crème brûlée. Was decent sweetness level but just dry. Service - good service and very friendly French gentleman and ladies. Ambiance - totally feel like a Mary Antoinette style or some French style place. Beautiful and French music playing in the background. Totally throwback to our adventures in France. Verdict - yaaas!! Try at least their macarons!!!

    I wanted to love this experience so much... Brought my daughters here for high tea, and it fell far short. The seating area needs an extreme makeover. The chairs are stained and plenty of chips of paint on the walls, chairs and tables. The food for high tea is also needing a makeover. Sandwiches are not worth paying for. If you do go...order separate from the $60 high tea menu. Not at all what I expected at a cute place in Georgetown.

The service was genuinely five-star. Attentive without being intrusive, thoughtful, and incredibly knowledgeable. The drinks were inventive and beautifully balanced, creative without trying too hard, and the wine selection was outstanding. The sommelier's guidance made the experience even better; every recommendation paired perfectly with our meal. And the food? Superb. Outstanding. We ended up trying almost everything because we simply couldn't decide -- and not a single dish disappointed. Each plate felt intentional, refined, and deeply flavorful. Maison is the kind of place you go for a special night and leave already planning your return. An absolute gem.

We got a bunch of things to share. I ate the butter like it was frosting. It may be cultured, but I'm not!! Had the carrots, escargot, the deviled eggs, and the pasta. Also had the octopus pepper gilda thing. Our server, think his name was Hunter, said that was the most popular main. It was very delicious, rich but not overly so. The martini was nice and came with a side car. Great presentation. When my friend saw the martini she said this makes me feel like i know how to live. They have a good wine list, you can get good stuff without breaking the bank. Their espresso is nice. I don't think they have decaf though.

    History of Present Indulgence 32 yo M presents with spouse…read moreand friend for pre-comedy show dinner at Italian establishment on 18th Street in Adams Morgan. No reservation and sat comfortably at the bar. Physical Examination Food - This place was absolutely delicious. We started with Arancini and Prosciutto e Polenta. The arancini was fried perfectly - crispy outside, warm risotto inside, and sitting in this savory-sweet tomato sauce that I could've honestly just eaten with a spoon (and basically did using the focaccia they give with your meal - which itself was delicious too). The arancini also has ground beef in the center, which adds to the flavor and depth of what is usually just fried risotto. The polenta fries with paprika aioli were fantastic too. My only complaint is that I wish there were more of the fries because there were only 3 to go along with the large plate of sliced prosciutto. The prosciutto itself was fine. Just standard quality prosciutto. For mains, we went family-style and shared three entrees: the pork ossobuco from the secondi menu, the tagliarini with shredded duck, and the cavatelli with rabbit and fava beans. The ossobuco was cooked well, though I wish the braise flavor went deeper into the pork. The truffle mushroom risotto underneath was incredible. Rich, creamy, and the fresh lemon and parsley gremolata on top cut through all that richness perfectly. The tagliarini was delicious, but my wife and I agreed that the duck flavor was a little lost in the rich marinara sauce. It didn't feel like I was eating duck, to be honest. You could've told me that was shredded short rib, and I might've believed you. The cavatelli was probably my favorite dish - those shell-shaped pasta pieces with rabbit and fava beans in a white wine sauce that had this unique flavor I haven't tasted anywhere else. There's a mild gaminess from the rabbit, but it was very subtle. Each time I had a fava bean, it was a fun change of pace in texture and taste as I was spooning this plate down my throat. It was so so good. Portions were generous too, which made the prices feel totally worth it. We left full and satisfied. My wife had a lambrusco spritz that was deliciously refreshing, and we shared some good wine throughout the meal. No complaints. Service - The bartender was really kind and attentive. Even though we weren't at a table, we didn't feel like we were getting second-tier service or anything. They checked on us regularly, made good recommendations, and kept everything moving smoothly. I also love a service that offers more table bread without needing to be asked. And their table bread was this fragrant focaccia, so I could've eaten all of whatever they brought. Ambiance - haven't been to a ton of Italian restaurants in DC, but I loved the vibe here. Intimate, cozy, dim lighting. The wine selection was great too - enough variety to be interesting without being one of those overwhelming 50-page wine lists. I think this would be a perfect date night spot. Assessment A high-quality Italian restaurant with creative takes on traditional dishes, generous portions, and an intimate atmosphere. A strong contender for the Adams Morgan dining scene, where restaurants are lined up right next to each other, and making a choice can be a bit difficult. Plan - Add to recommended restaurant list for DC visitors - Consider for future date nights or a solo wine and appetizer moment - Return to try more pasta dishes or enjoy a happy hour

We told one of the servers and he said noted, then never came back and it was never addressed. The ossobucco with the risotto rice was extremely undercooked, where we could see the white middles of each grain of rice. The ossobucco itself was delicious though! I reached out on their website to share that we were a bit disappointed as we were there with friends who claim this is one of their favorite Italian restaurants in the DMV, and having multiple bones in a dish is not acceptable. Not coming back and saying something is also unacceptable. No one reaching back out after I emailed them, is equally very unacceptable.

Warm wood, soft lighting, an atmosphere that feels intimate without being cramped, the kind of place that makes you want to slow down and stay a while. The team went above and beyond when they learned I don't drink: they gifted us a non-alcoholic wine, a complimentary appetizer, and dessert. That kind of hospitality isn't scripted... it's felt. Now, the food. The housemade sourdough with eucalyptus honey butter is dangerous, I could have stopped there and been happy. The roasted carrot salad with hazelnut dukkah and garlic toum was one of those dishes that makes you rethink a vegetable entirely. The garlic knots had no business being that good... crispy, layered, almost croissant-like, deeply garlicky in the best way. For pasta we had the pappardelle with spicy roasted pork ragù and fennel breadcrumbs, and the canastra cheese ravioli with wild garlic pesto and brazil nut pangrattato, that stunning deep green dish topped with chive blossoms looked like art and tasted even better. Both pastas were perfect. Then the Brazilian budino with coconut caramel and toasted coconut came out with a little candle tucked in. I nearly cried. This is a restaurant that treats every table like it matters. We will absolutely be back.
