The menu features French classics, such as escargots.
Capturing the ambiance and flavors of southern France, Barbouzard, which means “secret agent” en français, is the latest offering from acclaimed chef Cedric Maupillier of Convivial fame. Drawing on his upbringing in Toulon, the menu pays homage to the coastal fare of his youth—think bouillabaisse and escargots —while also catering to the luxe set with caviar service. The restaurant’s design, conceived by Olvia Demetriou of HapstakDemetriou+, features bleached oak, lively patterned tile, jewel-toned seating and bubble chandeliers. To keep the party going, dinner is served till midnight most nights and to 1 am on Fridays and Saturdays. 1700 K Street, NW; 202-998-2009. barbouzard.com
