“The idea of Pack Walk—all of us moving together in the same direction—should be part of our everyday lives. As a country, we tend to walk away from each other. But we need to be walking in one direction, toward a common outcome, helping one another. I know it sounds simple, but it’s very meaningful.” – Cesar Millan

When did French food get so ‘fancy’? Just because you can’t pronounce some of the menu items (ahem, grosses crevettes et St-Jaques rôties) doesn’t mean you won’t love the classic flavors of Southern France.
At Bistro D’oc, Chef Bernard Grenier and his family have created an enclave of French flavor and flair. From the chic cafe ambiance to the genuinely nice staff and—it practically goes without saying—stunningly good food, this DC treasure certainly has that je ne sais quoi.
