Caf� Saint-Ex serves as ‘local meeting place’
Looking for a sophisticated venue with a great outdoor patio? Look no further than Caf� Saint-Ex, the neighborhood restaurant and bar located just off the U Street corridor.

The caf� is named for Antoine de Saint-Exup�ry, best known as author of the novel The Little Prince.

Proprietor Mike Benson says he opened the caf� to create a “local meeting place” where “guests could enjoy delicious food in a comfortable setting.” Caf� Saint-Ex’s kitchen is led by Executive Chef Barton Seaver, formerly of D.C.’s Ardeo, Felix and Jaleo.

The 12-seat open bar carries microbrewed beers and a wine list created by Seaver, also a sommelier. The large, outdoor, street-side patio is among its best touches.

Caf� Saint-Ex is located at 1847 14th St. N.W.
