16 Sep
Interior of Le Grenier
Le Grenier (502 H Street) will be serving an awesome sounding French street sandwich during H Street Festival this weekend (September 19th): the Merguez Frites. We had to look it up, but it is a spicy sausage sandwich on a baguette with fries on top. They will be serving it from 11 am to 7 pm as well as Kronenbourg beer for $3.
Le Grenier Opening This Sunday on H Street (Photos)
17 AugLe Grenier (502 H Street) will begin cooking French dishes for dinner and brunch (weekends only) this Sunday. We sat down with co-owner Marie Ziar to learn more about the restaurant and to take a tour of the beautifully renovated space.

Le Grenier will be a sister restaurant to Le Chat Noir in Friendship Heights. Marie Ziar explained that she and her husband chose to open their second restaurant on H Street because H Street is an exciting and booming area that she feels also has a real sense of community. While Le Chat Noir has a more formal and traditional French feel, Marie Ziar explained that their goal for Le Grenier is to have a more modern atmosphere that will tailor to H Street’s younger crowd. Le Grenier will be a restaurant first and will make food the priority (as opposed to some places on H Street that focus on alcohol but also offer food) but will also have an extensive cocktail and French wine list.

All of their food will have a French focus and will be made from scratch. They will not have a incredibly long menu but will change it every three months to reflect the new season. They plan on serving food that is fresh and authentic but not terribly expensive.

Le Grenier Hopes to Open in July on H Street
3 AprLe Grenier (502 H Street) applied for a liquor license back in March 2011 but has been largely silent since then. However, we noticed construction occurring inside recently, and Le Grenier’s parent restaurant confirms that they hope to open sometime in July. The construction seems to have a ways to go but hopefully they will be able to open this summer.
Le Grenier is a French style bistro from the owners of Le Chat Noir (located in Friendship Heights). Le Chat Noir has quite an extensive menu of French dishes for lunch, brunch, and dinner. The liquor license application for Le Grenier says that they will have indoor seating and a small sidewalk cafe to seat a few people and will be open late. Le Grenier will add to the newly revitalized west end of H Street which has recently seen the opening of Big Board and Boundary Road.
