Bistro 112 — A Taste of France Finds a Home in Shepherdstown, WV
“This brasserie, Bistro 112, is a charismatic addition to German Street’s already notable culinary assortment.”
“America’s Coolest Small Towns” as decided by Budget Travel
“You might say all roads lead to West Virginia’s oldest town….and the sophisticated Bistro 112 is housed in an 1830s brick building that once served as the town’s haberdasher…”
Well worth the drive from DC.
“French cuisine is tried and true, with an old world decadence and a traditional romanticism. The warm dining room glows with the heat from the fireplace and candlelight reflects off of fresh flowers while soft music plays in the background. When your meal arrives, you will fully understand the mixture of tradition and le nouveau that makes Bistro 112 in Shepherdstown well worth the drive from DC.”
Locals and visitors gather here as much for the the food as for the fun, friendly atmosphere.
“DINING A LA FRANCAISE – When they opened Bistro 112 they set out to do five things perfectly: steak au poivre, pommes frites, raspberry tart, espresso and–of course–French bread. Solo diners are embraced. Inside, the decor includes paper lanterns, glass masks, and a flirty mannequin in a 1020s Lanvin dress. In warm weather, the party moves outdoors under the stars, to a long communal table or intimate garden corner.”
A proponent for sustainable agriculture.
“The menu offers French favorites such as l’entrecote and pommes frites, savory and sweet crepes and a variety of salads, soups and sandwiches. The Bistro, a proponent for sustainable agriculture, continues to offer fresh produce from the local farming community whenever possible. Grass-fed beef, free-range chickens, creamy cheeses, juicy tomatoes, and fresh picked strawberries are some of the ingredients they prepare daily when in season.”
For Lovers…of Food
“Shepherdstown has its own brand of earthy seduction with biking along the Potomac River, gatherings in pubs and coffee houses, and celebrations of performing and visual arts throughout the year. Lovers of French epicurean delights even have a maison in Shepherdstown to please the palate.”
