What to know
Bonne Vie opened as a love letter to Parisian café culture reimagined for Washington, D.C. Set in a landmark flatiron at a busy neighborhood crossroads, the bistro was conceived to be multiuse: a morning refuge for commuters and remote workers, and a convivial evening destination for diners seeking classic French comfort. Its arrival matters because it fills a local niche — accessible, authentic bistro cooking paired with neighborhood hospitality that encourages people to gather, linger, and savor the bonne vie.
