**Some Saturday evenings are better spent around a table. 🇫🇷**

A bottle of w**e to share. Seasonal French cooking. A conversation that lasts a little longer than expected.
At Bastille, that's our idea of a good evening.
We've been welcoming Alexandria to our tables since 2006, and the pleasure of doing so hasn't changed.
Whether you're joining us for the first time or returning to a familiar favorite, we'd love to see you.
**Saturday dinner | 4–9 PM**

10/23/2026

**Friday plans? We have a few ideas. 🇫🇷🍷**

A glass of French w**e. A warm, welcoming table. And our October Cassoulet Traditionnel.
Slow-cooked white beans, duck confit, pork belly and Toulouse sausage, finished with that beautiful golden crust.

Friday is always w**e night at Bastille, so there's every reason to make an evening of it.
**Dinner tonight | 4–9 PM**
Reserve your table and join us in Old Town Alexandria.

A burger. A glass of Bordeaux. A very good Thursday. 🍔🍷

French dining doesn't always have to mean a special occasion.
Sometimes it's a perfectly good burger, a glass of red and an evening when you don't feel like cooking.

Join us for "Burger & Bordeaux" in Bastille's Bar & Café or in our main dining room.

$8 glass of our House Bordeaux with your burger purchase.

Casual dining. French w**e. Your Thursday plans are handled.
Dinner from 4 PM.

10/21/2026

The best thing about Wednesday? Happy Hour doesn't end early. 🍷
At Bastille, Wednesday Happy Hour runs all evening in our Bar & Café.
Come for a glass of w**e. Stay for a bite to eat. Or turn an ordinary Wednesday into dinner out.
Casual French dining, good company and no reason to rush.

**Wednesday | 4 PM until close**
