Petite Cerise, located in The District, is a new French restaurant that sets itself apart by excluding typical French dishes like French onion soup. Chef-owner Jeremiah Langhorne, known for his acclaimed restaurant The Dabney, brings unique offerings to the table, such as buckwheat crepes filled with salami and goat cheese, and meticulously crafted sauces. The menu features dishes like grilled mussels with choron sauce, asparagus with hollandaise and whipped cream, and braised chicken with morel mushrooms and vin jaune. The cozy yet stylish ambiance of the restaurant, adorned with green paint, curtains, mirrors, and copper molds, enhances the European sensibility. While the noise level can be high, Petite Cerise offers a range of dishes not commonly found elsewhere.
