Parisian Charm in the Capital

In Washington, D.C.’s Union Market District, Pastis brings the unmistakable charm of a Parisian brasserie to one of the capital’s most dynamic neighborhoods. A sweeping curved zinc bar, red banquettes, vintage mirrors, and mosaic floors set the scene for lively gatherings and leisurely meals. The menu pairs beloved French classics, including onion soup, escargots, and steak frites, with local favorites such as fish and chips and the signature Joy Burger. From weekend brunch and afternoon cocktails to dinner with friends, Pastis captures the convivial spirit of its New York original while feeling entirely at home in Washington, D.C., today.
