Chez Billy Sud

Chez Billy Sud is without a doubt my favorite spot in D.C. My first experience with this fine establishment was on my 1 year anniversary with my partner. The service we received was exceptional. We truly felt welcomed and cared for by our server, and the whole restaurant staff made clear they were grateful we chose to celebrate our anniversary with them through giving us a complimentary glass of prosecco and amuse-bouche. Moreover, the food was absolutely divine. Having lived in France when I was younger, I can be a little bit-picky about the quality of my French food. But the food at Chez Billy truly transported me back to the South of France. All in all, I have been to Chez Billy numerous times for special occasions with my partner and the service has always been exceptional and the food

What a cute place with excellent service and the best duck I've ever had. Indoor area is very cozy with French bistro set up and lovely art on the walls. They also offer outdoor seating. The duck was supperb, I noticed the distinct way it was made and turns out it is prepared over 3 days with multiple steps, no wonder! It also came with great healthy sides of veggies including lentits, carrots and spinach. Onion soup was good but cheese was too soft for my taste.

Highly anticipated visit as I saw some reels on social media promoting this place. We had the salad with pork belly, escargot in puff pastry, steak tartare, omelette, burger, and steak frites. The escargot and steak frites are worth coming back for. I’ve had escargot at the most prestigious places in Paris and the ones here are really good. The omelette lacked flavor and steak tartare needs some work.

Not my favorite dining experience. The tables were placed so close together that it was hard not to be distracted by nearby conversations, which took away from the atmosphere. The menu offered standard French fare. Our appetizers included the French onion soup, which my husband enjoyed, and the chicken pâté, which unfortunately lacked flavor and the accompanying jelly wasn’t great. For mains, the steak was not tender though the pommes frites themselves were excellent. The duck confit was flavorful but came out a little greasy. The highlight of the evening was the service. Our waitress was very sweet, attentive, and made sure we were well taken care of, which we truly appreciated.

Wandered around Georgetown for dinner with a friend. This place is walk-in friendly and cozy. The tables are close to one another. We shared the pâté with bread - i really liked this! generous portion not too salty with a little bit of sweetness - paired great with the bread My friend ordered the duck confit and I ordered the see bass. Both dishes highlighted the meat with right amount of oil - as in they are very rich and flavorful without being too greasy. I also added fries to my dish because I wanted to have fries at night. A good and satisfying french place!
