Dauphine's brings a New Orleans sensibility to Northwest Washington, pairing Mid-Atlantic ingredients with classic and contemporary Louisiana cuisine under a seafood house and boucherie banner. The menu draws on dishes like raw oysters, jambalaya, duck, red beans and rice, and trout almondine.
Bread and beignets have become a particular draw, and brunch has built a following of repeat regulars. Diners consistently point to well-seasoned cooking and steady service as hallmarks of the place.
Michelin has recognized Dauphine's multiple times, naming it a Bib Gourmand in both the 2024 and 2025 Washington DC guides after an initial Selected listing in 2021.
