Opened since 2006 by Christophe Poteaux & Michelle Garbee-Poteaux, Bastille is a contemporary bistro and wine bar.
Chef Christophe Poteaux and Michelle Garbee-Poteaux (formerly Executive Chef and Pastry Chef of the Watergate Hotel) are the heart and soul of Bastille. Their menu creations are based on a combination of traditional, yet modern interpretations of classic bistro fare.
Bastille is however, a modern, not "old-school" French bistro.
Bastille is viewed as a "bistro gastro" (as so many young French chefs are opening nowadays):
"A simple and comfortable setting with fine dining food at bistro prices".
The bold flavors, combined with rich and exciting creations…that is what makes Bastille the perfect place for a romantic night out, impressing your business clients or a refined wine dinner with friends.
The hand-picked wine selections offer more than 120 labels with over twenty of them available by the glass or tasting pour (half glass)
For all these reasons and a few of your own, we know that Bastille will be the place you come to for your next…lunch, dinner, wine tasting or pre theatre gathering…
