Classic French bistro fare with steak frites and moules frites
"New Year’s Day brunch is basically as essential as the midnight toast, and this Union Market favorite is keeping the tradition delicious. They’re serving up a New Orleans-style French-Cajun spread packed with beignets, comfort food classics, and all the cozy vibes. And to top it off, a live brass band sets the perfect laid-back, let’s-ease-into-the-year mood." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"A nearly two‑year‑old French bistro in D.C., named among Stephen Starr’s biggest there and cited in complaints filed with the National Labor Relations Board alleging labor law violations amid unionization efforts." - Melissa McCart
"As a nearly two-year-old French bistro in D.C., this outpost has become a flashpoint: activists have pushed to unionize and filed NLRB complaints over alleged labor law violations, while a staff vote here resulted in “no” to unionizing. In a union release, one cook at Starr’s Pastis claimed a supervising chef grabbed her neck from behind and shook her, and a counter-campaign’s website, “Serving the Truth,” declares that “Workers at … Pastis have made their choice: no union.” (The original New York location is not involved in any unionization efforts.)" - Andrea Strong
"A French bistro that is part of Starr Restaurant Group, recently involved in a unionization push." - Emily Venezky
"A French bistro located in D.C., part of Stephen Starr's restaurant group." - Tierney Plumb
