Le Diplomate is a bustling, charming eatery where you can indulge in classic French dishes and delicious brunch fare, all in a cozy atmosphere.
"It really doesn’t get more “DC brunch” than Le Diplomate. This recreation of a traditional French brasserie is always packed, so definitely do make that reservation. The 14th Street staple has a ton of seating options, both inside and out, and a brunch menu that, naturally, includes steak frites. Get an order of that as you debate whether you also need some buttermilk pancakes or a croque madame for the table." - mekita rivas, omnia saed, tristiana hinton
