Convivial, defined as "relating to or fond of feasting, drinking, and good company," is also the newest restaurant in Shaw from Chef Cedric Maupillier. Convivial brings diners to a table alive with the deep and provocative history of French cooking presented in a spirit of cheer and easy exploration. A menu of fully composed, mid-size dishes looks past both the traditional entrée and the tapas-like snack, allowing guests to assemble an individual, multi-course meal or to select a variety of dishes for everyone to share. Closest Metro is Mount Vernon Square - Convention Center.
