Café La Ruche
(Restaurants - French)
1039 31st St NW, Washington  20007 • 202-965-2684
Distance: ~0.52 mi from The Fairmont Washington, D.C.
        Description: This narrow, elegant café, open since 1979, sports contemporary artwork in a 19th century building. Its terrace overlooks cobbled streets, and the whole place has a settled, comfortable feel. The menu features traditional French favorites, such as potato and leek soup, croque monsieurs, and crab-meat quiche. You can also choose from salads, pastas, and vegetarian dishes. On the sweet front are tartes of all varieties, perfectly accompanied by a range of coffee drinks. "La Ruche," translated as "beehive," aptly describes the cafe's busy atmosphere.
