Fraiche (French for Fresh) is a fresh take on culinary fusion with inspiration from multiple cultures (including French, Cajun/Southern American, and Caribbean). This is also a fresh take on the historic architecture of the venue, which was once a theater.

Fraiche is designed to be a non-pretentious culinary destination with a nod to upscale dining without the stuffiness. The menu is constructed in a way that takes approachable and recognizable food and elevates it, with no flavor left behind!

Since the beginning of time, food has brought people together and that is our ultimate goal with this concept.

    Best dining experience in a while. The Branzino was phenomenal, seriously, best I’ve had in a long time!

    Fraîche is a gem that seamlessly blends French, Cajun, Southern, and Caribbean influences into a truly memorable dining experience. From the moment you step in, the stylish yet inviting ambiance sets the stage for an evening of bold flavors and impeccable execution. Standouts were the Cajun muscles, oxtail meatballs, Branzino and fried Snapper. With attentive service and a well-curated menu that delivers on both quality and creativity, Fraîche DC is a spot that deserves repeat visits. I highly recommend it!

    They’re brand new so I’ll give them grace. This used to be creole on 14th so I wanted to see what the vibe was.

    The overall rating is 2 stars because the host was very pleasant. Everything else wasn't the best experience. From the atmosphere, food, service, all need severe improvement. I highly recommend the restaurant should close for a week or two to train the staff and to work on their customer experience. It's not ideal to be out of so many products on your menu and it's on a slow Tuesday!!

    I enjoyed checking out Fraiche, and I’m so glad I did! I went there for dinner with two friends and had a fantastic time. Everything from the service to the food, drinks, and ambiance was excellent. Our server, Taisha, was adorable and made our experience even better. I highly recommend it!

    It was good, but not what I expected. I suspect the experience and food will improve over time.
