Parisian-style bistro with curated French wines & bistro classics
"Brookland’s dreamy bistro sends out classics like homemade buttermilk waffles dressed with vanilla plum compote, a crowd-pleasing pork hash with confit baby Yukon potatoes, poached eggs, and hollandaise. Don’t sleep on the popular smash burger with Coulter Farms gruyere, charred onion, and dijonnaise with fries, with the option to add eggs and bacon. Go big (then go home) with pitchers of rotating French 75s. A dining room joins a gorgeous glassy patio framed with roll-up doors, with ’90s hip-hop tracks spinning in the background during brunch (11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sundays)." - Tierney Plumb
"Price: $$ During the pandemic, Brookland’s feathery French wine bar and bistro mastered the art of the smash burger with a temporary carryout operation dubbed Larry’s Chicken and Cheeseburgers. The best-selling burger is here to stay at Primrose, slightly tweaked with griddled onions, Coulter Farms gruyere, and dijonnaise alongside fries. Know before you go: This part of the city typically has ample parking." - Tierney Plumb
"A venue hosting an 'Ugly Sweater Jolly Hour' with a wine tasting from a local vineyard and prizes for the ugliest sweater." - Emily Venezky
"The Brookland wine bar celebrates Beaujolais Day with $10 glasses, plus special magnum pours from other producers and special French snacks like gougères stuffed with boursin, duck liver crostini with a gamay reduction, and smoked trout brandade." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"Locals rave about the thick-cut fries at this French-themed wine bar that come with an addictive dijonnaise and herb dipping sauce and pair perfectly with the endless variety of wines available by the glass." - Claudia Rosenbaum
