The Room
Matt Conroy and Will Morris opened Lutèce on Wisconsin Avenue in 2020 — a chef-driven modern-French dining room. The Michelin DC guide assigned Lutèce a Recommended designation.
The dining room is intentionally tiny: thirty seats, exposed brick, an open kitchen at the back.
The Food
The menu runs modern-French with Mid-Atlantic sourcing. The seasonal-rotating preparations, the chef's tasting at $85 handle the menu's wider draws.
Wine programme is French and natural. Cocktails are classic-French.
