At the corner of 16th & U, Bonne Vie Cafe & Bistro blends the Parisian spirit with DC vibes. We serve traditional French fare from breakfast through dinner, with brunch served on weekends.

Mornings are easy - coffee, baguettes, pastries made fresh every day.  Stay awhile, gather and even get some work done. 

Evenings bring an authentic bistro experience to eat well, sip slow and savor the moment.

Mornings are self-serve and easy—fresh coffee, warm pastries, and welcoming space for 1 or many.

Evenings bring full service, Parisian melodies, timeless bistro fare, and carefully selected wines in an inviting setting layered with vintage moody charm.
