More information on Poste
This lovely brasserie lies within one of Washington's coolest hotels, the Monaco, across from the MCI Center. You find its separate entrance via an arched carriageway that leads to a stone-paved courtyard, where the restaurant sets up tables in warm weather. Inside, past a small bar-lounge, is the dining area, which includes an exhibition kitchen, banquettes, and a quieter back room. After trial and error, and several chef departures, Poste finally seems to have settled into a pleasant culinary groove, thanks to its latest chef, Robert Weland, who arrived in May 2004. Weland uses seasonal local ingredients to create modern American fare heavily influenced by traditional French cuisine. At lunch that means a croque monsieur is made with Virginia ham and gruyere on brioche; at dinner, your selections may include French onion soup, herbed fresh ricotta ravioli, coffee roasted duck breast, steak frites, and cassoulet. Desserts, too, blend French and American tastes; try the "3 custards" of vanilla, chocolate pot de crème, and pistachio. A wine list of 100 California and French bottles offers at least 10 wines by the glass. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
