3345 14th Street, NW
Thanks to Analya for sending the great news about Fraiche at Tívoli: “I was happy to notice a new restaurant coming to the old Creole space on 14th street.”
Fraiche’s website says:
“Fraiche (French for Fresh) is a fresh take on culinary fusion with inspiration from multiple cultures (including French, Cajun/Southern American, and Caribbean). This is also a fresh take on the historic architecture of the venue, which was once a theater. Fraiche is designed to be a non-pretentious culinary destination with a nod to upscale dining without the stuffiness. The menu is constructed in a way that takes approachable and recognizable food and elevates it, with no flavor left behind!
Since the beginning of time, food has brought people together and that is our ultimate goal with this concept.”
From Fraiche’s IG:
“I couldn’t be more excited to announce the Soft Opening of my restaurant, Fraiche, in Washington DC! The nations capital has always been like a second home for me (I lived there for a few years too!) and the love is always overwhelming in the DMV!
We are Soft Opening beginning 2/18 and I can’t wait to show everyone what I’ve been working so hard on! This new venture means the world to me and I can’t wait to welcome everyone in! See you soon!
We are Open Tuesday-Sunday from 4pm – 10pm.”
