I do recommend this place, especially for brunch, but don’t order the cheese plate. Really bad quality.

An excellent local spot to share a fine meal with friends when you seek to blend great conversation with great food. A few minutes reviewing the bill might be well spent as we had a couple of expensive errors (one corrected by staff) on ours. Highly recommended.

I had another fantastic experience at Cafe Colline! As always, the service was top-notch, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was cozy and inviting. Our server was attentive and super sweet, making our visit even more enjoyable. I took a friend there to celebrate her birthday, and she loved it just as much as I do. I’ll definitely keep returning and highly recommend this charming spot to anyone looking for a great meal and a warm, welcoming environment!

Bastille remains one of the very best restaurants in Old Town Alexandria. All four of us loved what we ordered (duck breast/duck confit/risotto/scallops) and the service we received from Darya was impeccable. We've been here many times before and will undoubtedly revisit many times in the future.
