Please no phone calls, music, videos, or anything with audio in the dining rooms.
It is disruptive to other guests and can ruin a beautiful evening for all.
Please do not move the furniture. We have arranged it specifically for COVID protocols and for the comfort of all guests. If you would like to change tables, let your server or other staff member know and they will work with the host and manager to try and accommodate your request.
We ask you for your patience and kindness while we serve you.
We have made great strides in the fight against Coronavirus, but as the highly contagious delta variant continues to strike our community, we are stepping up our safety measures.
We are requiring our Front of the House staff to continue to wear masks, regardless of their vaccination status to protect them and to protect you, our guests.
While we have not made mask wearing mandatory for guests, except for those individuals who are not vaccinated, we strongly encourage all to wear a mask for your protection and our staffs.
While we are taking your safety and that of our staff very serious, by employing new safety and sanitation initiatives, we cannot guarantee that any of these measure will protect you from contracting COVID-19.

Since opening Bastille in 2006 on the outskirts of Old Town Alexandria VA, the restaurant has garnered eight RAMMY nominations, Washingtonian Top 100 listings and Northern Virginia Magazine's Top 50 restaurants.
Chef Christophe's cooking is rooted in his French heritage and features reimagined classic French dishes, utilizing local Mid-Atlantic products.
Chef Michelle’s desserts are straightforwardly good, cloaked in nothing but vibrant French flavors and techniques, sprinkled with influences from her time growing up in the Midwest, living in California and now the East Coast. In 2013, Chefs Michelle & Christophe Poteaux took Bastille’s creative cuisine to the James Beard House to celebrate Bastille Day.
In January 2015, Chefs Poteaux moved and reopened their flagship restaurant to 606 N. Fayette Street, located in the Asher apartment building. This contemporary space is only two blocks from the Braddock Metro / 5 Blocks from King Street and one block from Route 1 South, located in Alexandria’s quaint Parker Grey neighborhood. Featuring a large courtyard patio, increased dining capacity and an expansive bar and café area; Bastille is Old Town Alexandria's go to neighborhood Parisian brasserie.
