Et Voila opened in 2008 in the Palisades neighborhood serving French Belgian food for brunch, lunch, and dinner. When you enter the space, it's clear you've stumbled upon a neighborhood joint. It's always full with familiar faces.
The space itself is intentionally a little more cramped. There's a bar in the very front of the house next to a small European market selling goods like jams and cheeses. There are two narrow dining rooms with tables closer together to encourage community. Despite the close quarters, you don't feel on top of anyone or in the way of service happening.
The menu itself is large and the service impeccable. Your server is a great resource about the daily specials and what wine should be paired with what dish. They also have cocktails, and of course, beer.
In terms of food, it's all local and fresh. The Amish from Pennsylvania bring in vegetables and herbs and the mussels are flown in from Maine every morning.
To start, we ordered a delicious warm goat cheese salad and French onion soup. For our main, my wife ordered the moules mariniere mussels and I the hamburger. Both came with French fries. For dessert, my wife ordered the pavlova and I the chocolate waffles. Everything was phenomenal and fresh.
If you love Belgian French food, run to Et Voila. It's well worth your time!
A favorite restaurant!
The food here is delicious, everything is really good. The service is also outstanding. There's a long, narrow dining room--we enjoy eating in a smaller establishment the functions more like a big family than a factory.
The wine list has good choices and is reasonably priced. Service is outstanding.
If you like French food, this is a great place to go, for lunch or dinner. Reservations are not a bad idea, because I'm not the only one who's figured out how good this place is.
I visit this unique place once a month as I love the special air that is exist in this restaurant. The team is exceptionally welcoming and well trained. The service is extraordinarily fast. Most important, the food you get is highly distinguished. I frequent many times and I was always delighted. The price is reasobable. I highly recommend this place to to everybody.
Excellent food and even better service. The setting can get quite cramped by the bar, but once seated it becomes much more comfortable. Also the lighting is very dim. The burger is a staple of this establishment and I would highly recommend it as well as the lamb. Great place for a classy night out.
Great service. A restaurant where you can still ear one another.
Great menu. The broth of my mussels was delicious. I wish there were less sweet potatoes and more endive.
The prices are very reasonable for DC.
