Best Restaurants for a Quick Bite in Old Town Alexandria

We went to Petite Cherise for our anniversary dinner. From start to finish, we had a wonderful experience. We had the prix fixe dinner, which included four courses. The snacks were delicious, particularly the Oysters Rockefeller. Our three shareables — Céleri Rãpées, Black Truffle Cavatelli, and Pork Paillard — were great surprises of spices and flavors. We had the Beef Bourguigon as our entree. It was perfectly prepared. The meal was beautifully capped by Chocolate and Salted Caramel Cake and coffee. The service was as fabulous as the food. The staff is professional, friendly, accommodating, and generous. We can’t wait to return.

Nice cheesy sandwiches and enjoyed the bucket of mimosas

Had a lovely dinner with the family on Christmas Eve. Our service was fabulous, the food was delicious and the ambience was festive and comfortable. It had been about 35 years since we were there last time - much has changed. We kept it simple with ordering calamari (so fresh!), pizza (surprisingly fantastic and so much pepperoni!), salads (huge and fresh) and fish and chips (crunchy and light and mounds of chips). We plan to return again very soon!

Food was decent. Some of the food was really good. There was only one table beside us and the server just seemed to not look in our direction. We had to wave her over every single time.

We visited for brunch after MagFest. The service was prompt and courteous, the food was pretty great, and we were in a room in the back so it was calm and quiet. Only sad part was they were out of Coffee because apparently someone didn't order enough inventory. Truly shocked a restaurant can be sold out of coffee on Sunday at 1:30pm. Otherwise it was a great time.
