Gritty, Sexy, $13 Million French Bistro Pastis Opens in Union Market Today
Stephen Starr and Keith McNally bring their popular Meatpacking District bistro to DC.
The restaurant shares a timeless Parisian vibe and elevated bistro menu with its New York flagship (and newer location in Miami), though the DC locale will have its own identity. The DC menu pays homage to the original Pastis by bringing back some of its American and Eastern European dishes. For example, you’ll find Caesar salad, wiener schnitzel, potato pierogies, and chicken kiev on the Union Market menu. Popular classics will also carryover, including steak frites, escargots, onion soup, and duck confit.

On your plate: Brasserie classics, sure — an au poivre burger, French onion soup — but also plates like potato pierogies, wiener schnitzel, and chicken kiev. The latter is a nod to Starr’s late NYC restaurant Verōnika, “where we perfected it.”
