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. We are 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.
