Staff was great, french pasta is handmade and was absolutely delicious on both our plates, Short Rib Lasagna & Pappardelle. Crispy Brussel Sprouts were definitely crispy and delicious with pickled onions. The cocktails were great. We needed a good dinner our first night in town and Opaline delivered. Thank you.

This is still the best French bistro in Georgetown. Great traditional menu with new options and seasonal specials. A really well curated wine list. Don’t fall for the tourist traps. Walk up Wisconsin to a little French spot.

• Traditional French • Friendship Heights

Amazing food in a modest setting, it is reminiscent of dining in a neighborhood bistro in Paris. Because it is small, with tables crammed close together, it tends to be noisy during mealtimes, but the food is worth it. And the wines are lovely.
