BARBOUZARD
PROJECTED OPENING: Spring 2025
1700 K Street NW
Partners Nasr El Hage, Nellie Elana Gebrail, and Dany Abi-Najm will be opening a new concept, Barbouzard, next year. Inspired by the glamor of the Mediterranean seascape and Cote D’Azur, the new dining destination will blend sophisticated tastes with an alluring day-to-night ambiance. The 180-seat, 6,493 square-foot space will feature a bar and lounge, expansive main dining room, piano and DJ booth, champagne lounge, and lush outdoor veranda. Striking architectural and design plans include large-scale glass and steel structures complemented by luxurious, layered textiles. Barbouzard will draw culinary inspiration from the vibrant summer destinations along the Mediterranean Sea, with a focus on the buzzy scenes reminiscent of St. Tropez and Cannes. The menu will highlight highly seasonal ingredients, exquisite seafood and luxurious cuts of meat, plus charcuterie and cheeses, and an in-house bread and pastry program. An expansive beverage program with Old World wines, a deep champagne list, and a cutting-edge cocktail program will complement the dining experience. In addition to the culinary offerings are plans for large-scale music programming, to include an in-house resident DJ as well as pianists, saxophonists, and violinists.
