Sausage and Duck Cassoulet @ Bistrot Lepic
1736 Wisconsin Ave. NW (between R and S Streets) Washington D.C.
One of Georgetown’s best-kept secrets is the upstairs wine bar at Bistrot Lepic. Low, cushioned chairs and parlor tables create the ambience of a wine-centric clubhouse. The 20-deep bar list is available by half or full glasses (more are available by the bottle), but engaging bartenders often pour samples to encourage new drinking experiences.
