Azur

Chef Frederik De Pue’s Euro-accented American bistro and market – his latest transformation of the former Cafe Atlantico space in Penn Quarter – provides a sophisticated, lounge-like backdrop for an informal drink and a bite upstairs, while downstairs you can shop for prepared meals, produce, bread and more. A six-seat chef’s counter offering a daily prix fixe menu is also planned.
