Le Diplomate
Sterling Recommended
A stylish 260-seat French brasserie from restaurateur Stephen Starr, Le Diplomate has become a signature anchor of Washington D.C.'s 14th Street corridor; it pays sincere homage to French cafe culture across lunch, brunch, and dinner service.
Le Diplomate is a Stephen Starr production operating under the Starr Restaurants group, situated at the junction of 14th and Q Streets in the Logan Circle/Shaw neighbourhood.
