Our Story

Fresh by Name. Bold by Nature.

Fraiche DC emerges from a singular vision: to create a dining experience where refinement never eclipses flavor, where innovation honors tradition. Nestled in Columbia Heights' historic theater district, our space is a sanctuary of warm gold walls, burgundy banquettes, and copper light—intimate yet undeniably upscale.

The cuisine tells a story of cultural collision and culinary alchemy. Cajun heat meets Caribbean brightness. Southern American soul elevates through French technique. Every dish on our menu reflects Chef Matt Price's relentless pursuit of bold, unexpected combinations that sing in harmony.

"We don't do pretentious. We do unforgettable."
