The Best Restaurants in Great Falls, by the Record

Great Falls has sent exactly one place into the record so far: L'Auberge Chez Francois, honored by Northern Virgina Magazine.

  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.
