“When I came on board with the project, the design aspect was quite well advanced, however I participated towards the end in making sure we created a concept that was casual, friendly, warm and high energy, keeping in mind we were building a neighborhood bistro.” – Eric Ripert on the design of Westend Bistro, exclusively for We Love DC
Westend Bistro by Eric Ripert, opened in 2007 at the Ritz-Carlton, Washington D.C., is not your typical, often lackluster hotel restaurant. Apart from the exceptional service – synonymous with the Ritz-Carlton brand, one would never guess that they were dining amongst hotel guests and visitors. Westend Bistro feels like that friendly, neighborhood spot. The place you know you can always count on – with phenomenal food and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
