Why You’ll Love It
- Perfect for pre-theater meals
- Family-owned and -operated
- Serving specialities from the South of France
When did French food get so ‘fancy’? Just because you can’t pronounce some of the menu items (ahem, grosses crevettes et St-Jaques rôties) doesn’t mean you won’t love the classic flavors of Southern France.
At Bistro D’oc, Chef Bernard Grenier and his family have created an enclave of French flavor and flair. From the chic cafe ambiance to the genuinely nice staff and—it practically goes without saying—stunningly good food, this DC treasure certainly has that je ne sais quoi.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
“Went here on a date and absolutely loved it. The food was perfect from start to finish. The staff was really friendly, attentive, and helpful. Finally, the restaurant itself is cozy and cute. Can’t wait to go again!”
“Excellent mussels, salads, and desserts. If my boyfriend and I only went on one date for the rest of our lives, I would choose D’oc followed by a film at Landmark, conveniently right around the corner.”

This small village is situated inland. The soil is fertile and the climate favorable for farming. You can go stroll through the forest on trails and bridges especially prepared for visitors.
This is essentially an agricultural town that dominates the region and offers a view onto the pineapple fields, which seem to stretch down all the way to the sea.
The Rivière-Salée is a large plain that has been given over to growing sugar cane, although there is no rum distillery within the territory belonging to this district. On some houses, you can still see structures that date to the 19th century.
You can get here by car of course, but also on a ferry from Fort-de-France. The Pagerie Museum is in this town, set up on the spot where Empress Josephine was born. A number of musical and cultural events are organized in the Park of the Trois-Ilets close to the island’s magnificent golf club. You must not miss the Market or the Sugar Cane Museum. The pottery center, where the objects are handmade by local craft artists, is also worth a visit.
