Le Sel takes its name from the French word for salt, a nod to a kitchen built on French bistro cooking with a modern twist. The room is styled after Parisian bistros but with a sleeker, more contemporary edge, sitting near the Dupont Circle and Logan Circle line as a neighborhood gathering spot rather than a formal dining destination.
Guests can eat in the dining room or out on the garden patio, which welcomes dogs.
Regulars point to attentive service and a lively, attractive atmosphere as reasons Le Sel has become a fixture in the area, alongside a brunch that's developed its own following. Some diners note the execution can vary dish to dish.
