French restaurant · Des Moines

"“All French. No attitude. No corkage fee.” Django’s tagline does a decent job of explaining the sculpture park-adjacent downtown bistro — but a bite of yolk-dripping croque-madame does it even better. It’s polished without being pretentious, equally ideal for date night appetizers or a big family dinner. Bring your own bottle of wine to enjoy alongside duck frites, baked ratatouille, and bouillabaisse." - Karla Walsh
