Well we visited this lovely French bistro restaurant again and thoroughly enjoyed it! You will truly feel like you are in a Paris bistro as it is quaint, cozy and very interestingly decorated. Service is excellent, the food is wonderful, the wine list is nice and reasonable....what more can I say but Ooo Lah Lah Le Refuge. I highly recommend... More

This restaurant was recommended to us by the B&B where we were staying. Their favorite restaurant in Alexandria. So glad that we asked for a recommendation. Great food and wine. We will be back.

2 friends and I took water taxi from National Harbor over to Alexandria which itself is quaint and a relaxing experience. This little restaurant is a local favorite and can see why. On side street of King street, this place has amazing food, ambience and service! Very small and quaint....not to be missed. We had scallops, tuna, and soft shell... More

Seating is tight and cozy, very intimate and the walls are lined from floor to ceiling with French decor. As soon as we walked through the door we were transported across the Atlantic to a little restaurant in the middle... More

My friend was in the mood for French today, and gave the names of three French places in Old town. I came to trust trip advisor, saw how highly rated the restaurant was, and decided we must go.
