Le Diplomate brought Parisian brasserie culture to 14th Street and DC hasn’t looked back. The bustling dining room with its zinc bar, mosaic floors, and wicker chairs perfectly evokes a Left Bank café. Their bread basket alone is worth the visit — warm baguette, salted butter, and house-made preserves. The sidewalk seating is some of the best people-watching in the District.
