And just like that... it's Cassoulet season. 🇫🇷
Our new Plat du Mois — Cassoulet Traditionnel arrives tonight.
White beans slowly cooked with duck confit, pork, and Toulouse sausage until rich, deeply savory and beautifully crusted.
This isn't delicate fall food.
This is cold-weather French comfort food, and we've been waiting for it.
Available throughout October at Bastille.
🍷 Add a glass of red.
🥖 Definitely get the bread.
📍 Dinner tonight from 4pm.
Reserve your table.

Our three-course prix fixe dinner brings seasonal choices and chef-driven French-inspired cooking together for $45 or $55. We believe a great dinner should never need a special occasion. Book a table at https://www.bastillerestaurant.com/ today.

A French question for your Monday:
When dinner is finished, which are you choosing?

A. Cheese
B. Dessert
C. Both - because this is not the moment for restraint.

We know our answer. What's yours?

Sunday is underrated.

The errands are mostly done. The weekend isn't quite over. And dinner tastes considerably better when somebody else cooks it.
Your table is waiting and may we suggest one more glass of w**e before Monday? Oui.

Bastille is open for Sunday dinner from 4-9 PM, with Happy Hour at the bar and café from 4 PM to close.

Not every celebration needs a ballroom.

Sometimes it needs a long table, French food, good w**e and a room full of people you actually want to spend the evening with.

Birthdays. Anniversaries. Rehearsal dinners. Family gatherings. Corporate dinners. The occasions that deserve more than a reservation for two.

If you're planning a private dinner or group event in Old Town Alexandria, let us make it feel like Bastille - warm, personal and very French.

Friday night has entered the chat.

The kitchen is cooking, the w**e is open, and your only real responsibility is deciding what to order.

French dinner in Old Town Alexandria. No occasion necessary.

We'll see you tonight.

October calls for Burgundy.

On October 15, Marc Lotterie joins us for Hidden Gems of Burgundy - an evening devoted to the bottles and places that don't always get the marquee attention, but absolutely deserve a place at the table.

If Burgundy is already your weakness, you understand.

If it isn't yet... this could be the dinner that changes that.

Mark the calendar. Details and reservations are available through Bastille at [email protected]
