This upscale yet cozy restaurant is unmistakably French, from the alluring hostess with her soft, exotic accent to the light but playful French music playing throughout to all the smaller touches, like the restrooms labeled “La Toilette,” everything whispers French. However, La Miche has simultaneously accomplished a country feel; the ceilings are ribbed with exposed wooden beams and hanging baskets, the walls are covered in plaid curtains and the booths and pillows display embroidered country scenes and floral patterns. For a fine dining experience, try Bethesda's La Miche.
