"Exposed brick, a cobblestone patio, and cushy fireplace elicits the feeling of walking into a neighborhood favorite in the French countryside at recently remodeled Chez Billy Sud. Indulge on steak tartare, pate, potato-crusted salmon, croque-madame, and addicting baskets of table bread. Wash it down with beer, mocktails, wine, and specialty gin, rum, and scotch-based cocktails." - Tierney Plumb
"This 50-seat wine bar sits next to sibling spot Chez Billy Sud, the well-known French favorite of former First Lady Michelle Obama. Patrons rush to grab their favorite seats, since the velvet-covered walls and roaring fireplace make for a setting primed for Instagram and TikTok-worthy moments." - Mekita Rivas
"Politicos and news anchors come to Chez Billy Sud for a white tablecloth dinner, but the best seats in the house aren’t in the dining room. Although connected to the restaurant, Billy Sud’s Bar à Vin has its own entrance, a darker, moodier, wood-paneled interior, exposed brick, and a fireplace. There’s possibly nothing better than a glass of bubbly by that fire, or a casual meal at the bar when you’re craving more than nuts. The menu here is the same as in the dining room—go with the moules-frites and the smoked trout served with roe, chips, and crème fraîche." - madeline weinfield

"The table bread is what regulars ask for right when they sit down at Georgetown’s dreamy French bistro. A pate plate served with grain mustard and cornichons is a fine friend of the fluffy basket." - Tierney Plumb
