Bistrot Lepic

$-$$, French, Glover Park

User Rating: ** 1.8

Fodor's Review:

Bistrot Lepic Relaxed and upbeat, with bright yellow walls and colorful paintings, this small, crowded neighborhood bistro is French in every regard -- starting with the flirty servers. Traditional bistro fare has been replaced with potato-crusted salmon served with French grapes and ouzo-grape sauce. Some standards, like veal cheeks, remain. The wine is all French, with many wines available by the glass. The wine bar on the second floor has a menu of small plates such as terrine of foie gras, smoked trout salad, and onion-bacon tart. On this level, seating is first-come, first-served, but if you reserve your spot in advance, you can order from the full menu.

It Couldn't Get any Worse

Posted by Girlspytravel from DC on 9/21/07

I'm from DC, and had heard good things about this restaurant-either they've changed chefs or owners, but the food, in a word, was TERRIBLE. I actually got a bit sick from this fish dish that was not only mushy, but overly salted, the owners were so upset that they gave us the desserts gratis-the table next to me told the server the same thing-way too salty. My friend's veal was okay, but nothing special. I would not recommend this place, nor would I ever go back
