Welcome

Inspired by iconic neighborhood bistros in Paris, with its name originating from Duke Ellington Park, located across the street, and the grandeur of the late Washington D.C. native, Ellington Park Bistro carries a magnetism around its stunning central bar, where discerning creatives and change-makers meet.

Serving delectable breakfast, brunch, happy hour, and dinner, step into a quaint corner restaurant with upscale twists on contemporary French classics. Situated between the energy of nearby Dupont Circle and the charm of historic Georgetown, snack on a cocktail and a raw bar selection and chat with your favorite bartender, or make it a standing weekly dinner date in one of our emerald velvet booths. Ellington Park Bistro brings out the DC native in all of us.

Cuisine

Ellington Park Bistro is built around a contemporary French notion that will satisfy any appetite from a quick bite to a lingering three-course meal. Discover the Chef’s daily specials for a soon to be fixed favorite reminiscent of your favorite Paris sidewalk café. The French Toast served during breakfast and brunch is not one to be missed.

Private Dining

The perfect backdrop for any gathering, Ellington Park Bistro features a timeless design with an intimate setting. Emerald velvet booths and sleek decor surround a curved marble bar, an ideal space for a cocktail party. The restaurant's tiered layout offers separate sections for seated dinners and private parties of varying sizes. For larger gatherings, our lobby with a two-sided fireplace and lounge seating provides space for greeting, mingling, and fireside chat.

Channeling the magnetic energy of Dupont Circle and the charm of Georgetown with the cozy feeling of a Parisian bistro, Ellington Park Bistro is the perfect location for your next DC meeting or event.

Ellington Park Bistro has two private dining spaces with a Bar that can be combined to accommodate 50 seated or 90 standing.
