The Best Places to Eat in Great Falls, by the Record

The best places to eat in Great Falls, by the professional record: Northern Virgina Magazine and Washingtonian have both weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. L'Auberge Chez Francois comes out on top.

Categories

  1. An Alsatian-style cottage tucked into the woods of Great Falls that has been on the Washingtonian's 100 Very Best Restaurants list longer than most of its readers have been alive. The upstairs dining room runs classic French, foie gras and Grand Marnier soufflé and all, while downstairs at Jacques' the mood loosens around a proper choucroute garni. Folksy French knickknacks everywhere, zero apologies for any of it.


  2. Rank 2. The Old Brogue

    Irish British Cocktail Bar
