About Us

Join us at Opaline Bar and Brasserie for an authentic French Riviera experience, where the charm of the French Riviera meets the culinary excellence of Italy. Our talented team of chefs will bring you culinary markers from both France and Italy — wine, cheese, bread, cold cuts and pasta — for the best tasting experience. In the summer, you will be able to enjoy fresh and light dishes that evoke the ambiance of the Italian seaside on our patio. And for the winter, you can savor our comforting and gourmet dishes with rich and bold flavors.

Start your culinary journey with our selection of antipasti, featuring a variety of cured meats, artisanal cheeses, and marinated vegetables - our homemade bread, paired with premium olive oil, is a perfect beginning to your meal. Continue on with a variety from each destination, from a short rib lasagna to a perfectly cooked fettuccini puttanesca with olive and confit garlic.  Our pasta are freshly made in-house, offering a taste of Italy with every bite and our desserts are a sweet conclusion to your meal, indulge in a classic Parisian flan or savor the flavors of a tarte Tropezienne .

To complement your meal, the restaurant offers an extensive wine list featuring a selection of French, Italian and American vintages. Or try one of our refined cocktails that are curated by our own head mixologist, inspired by the French art of living, and Italian classics along with a range of non-alcoholic cocktails.

With its quintessential Parisian ambiance, refined cuisine, and unique take on French classics, Opaline Bar and Brasserie stands as a premier destination for those seeking an elevated and luxurious French Riviera dining experience in Washington DC.
