French champagne & caviar bar with small plates & wine
"Apéro serves pastries and espresso drinks by day and bubbles and French fare by night. Designed for celebrations, this Champagne and caviar bar is located in a historic Georgetown townhouse. Its theatrical tasting room up top, dubbed La Bohème, opened in 2023 with themed 4- to 6-course tasting menus that rotate regularly (right now it’s all about Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki)." - Tierney Plumb
"Walking into Apéro in Georgetown feels like stumbling into an impossibly chic Parisian bistro stocked with enough wine and caviar to outlast a particularly bourgeoisie apocalypse. This French spot has a substantial wine program of more than 700 selections, specializing in—you guessed it—Champagne. Our essential small plates include the deviled eggs (bacon and chives sprinkled atop) and the fromage trio, served with a piquant blood-orange compote and baguette. For the main course, the beef bourguignon consistently delivers, thanks to the creamy robuchon potatoes and robust cabernet reduction, and the caramel bread pudding with a house espresso martini is our can’t-miss dessert combo." - tristiana hinton, omnia saed, mekita rivas, allison robicelli
"Behind the bar and down the stairs, there is a small, intimate outdoor patio great for late-night dates in the quieter part of Georgetown. There are also picnic tables out front for more casual seating." - Abi Newhouse

"This dreamy petite French restaurant nestled in a Georgetown row house embraces Champagne and caviar like few other restaurants do. Enjoy it at the restaurant along with mushroom “cigarettes” with Parmesan foam, trout topped with lump crab, or silky ribbons of pappardelle cloaked in lemon, creme fraiche, caviar, and freshly snipped chives. A theatrical, prix-fixe counterpart called La Bohème recently entered the fold upstairs with themes that rotate with the season. From January to April, the menu pays homage to English author J.R.R. Tolkein." - Tierney Plumb
