This is our favorite restaurant in suburban Virginia. Quiet atmosphere, great food. We go at least once a month, and are never disappointed. It's also the "special" place we go for birthdays, anniversaries, etc.

A friend and I (both of us live 2-3 hours away in western Maryland and Pennsylvania) met here for lunch on March 8th. We decided on this café based on other TripAdvisor reviews. We were not disappointed. The Café is small and full of country French accents - tables a bit close together. Lovely menu - I had one of... More

This restaurant is better than Good, but not Excellent. It is a good standby. They have one of the better Caesar's salad in the area. Not too much dressing and very tasty with just the right amount of ingredients. It is always quite full, with an older crowd that must be locals, but a reservation isn't a must. The deserts... More

Cafe Tatti is a great place if you are looking for a lovely, cozy ambiance, wonderful service, great food at a great price. We've been coming here for years and have never had a bad experience. The veal is always delish and the seafood divine. Other favorites are escargot and French onion soup. The wait staff always makes us feel... More

I'm rating Cafe Tatti "excellent" for what it is...a really nice, unpretentious, cozy cafe with delicious, satisfying food and and efficient, friendly staff which doesn't ever pressure you to leave. It's where we go to relax, to celebrate and to join friends. It's almost always crowded, sometimes noisy, the decor is outdated and we see the same waiters every time...charming!!... More

We eat here at least once or twice a month so we know it well. Cafe Tatti is a nice little local joint, French provincal, and has the feeling of an old comfortable pair of loafers. Some of the decor is a little tired, the waiters are geriatric, the uniforms are tux shirts with black bow ties and black slacks,... More

I love this little gem of a restaurant. Very traditional French bistro dishes in a cozy environment with staff that go well out of their way to make you feel welcome and ensure you enjoy your meal. I usually order the quiche special and have never been disappointed.

I have been going to Cafe Tatti for over 25 years (it claims 31 years of operations) and have never had an even "so so" dining experience there. The food is simple and well prepared, the atmosphere is very much like a small mom and pop bistro away from the hustle and bustle of a French or Belgian city, and... More

Cafe Tatti bills itself as a French Bistro serving quality food at moderate prices. That's accurate. I had the pork schnitzel special, which included a good portion of Caesar salad. With an English ale and tax, the tab was still under $16.00. That's a moderate price, particularly for McLean, VA. The schnitzel was topped with a fried egg and an... More
