"Chef Jeremiah Langhorne and his team continue to crush desserts at their two-year-old French bistro in Shaw. Try the pistachio profiterole with vanilla ice cream and dark chocolate sauce." - Tierney Plumb

"Chef Jeremiah Langhorne and partner Alex Zink, the duo behind Michelin-starred sensation the Dabney, doubled down in Shaw with the 2023 opening of a French cafe-meets-bistro. Situated in a 130-year-old, two-story building, the bright corner respite exudes a low-key elegance with plenty of French influences across its 90-seat space and morning-to-night menus. Guests can start the day at the coffee bar and choose from traditional French pastries like croissants, canelés, and pains au chocolat. Come back later for dishes like scallops or potato-crusted snapper alongside a raw fennel salad with lemon, bacon lardons, and balsamic-roasted pearl onions. A new prix fixe experience — only $58 a head — starts with a snack before moving on to options like scallops, escargots, Parisian gnocchi, and stuffed chicken with stone fruits." - Tierney Plumb, Emily Venezky
"One of the favorite dining spots of Ryan Ratino in Washington, D.C." - Nancy DePalma
"I've loved eggnog since I was a kid. It's a holiday classic,” says Jeremiah Langhorne, chef of The Dabney and Petite Cerise in Washington, DC. “When The Dabney entered its first winter, I wanted to make it for our guests; we spent years perfecting our house eggnog, known as "Dabnog,” he shares about the blend of bourbon, rye, madeira, black rum, sorghum molasses, and the best eggs and dairy from farmers in the Mid-Atlantic region. “It's perfect for an after-dinner drink or you can even use it in your latte, Petite Cerise style." - Jillian Dara
