Thanks to SW DC Newsies for sending the coming soon signage for Bistro Du Jour. This is the former Dolcezza space which we spoke about back in March. Stay tuned for an exact opening date.

Bistro Bistro is located at 1727 Connecticut Ave NW. We noted their grand opening back in June ’09 (for some reason that post got messed up but the comments are still there).

Le Chat Noir is located at 4907 Wisconsin Ave, NW. This one is for the French food lovers. You can see their menus here. What’s the atmosphere like? Any must order dishes?
