Chefs Christophe & Michelle Poteaux
Since opening Bastille in 2006, chef-owners Christophe and Michelle Poteaux have built a French restaurant rooted in culinary tradition, seasonal cooking, and a shared commitment to hospitality.
Christophe brings his French heritage and classical training to the kitchen, combining familiar brasserie favorites with contemporary techniques and seasonal Mid-Atlantic ingredients. Michelle, a chef and pastry chef, brings her own creativity to Bastille's house-made desserts, ensuring the final course is every bit as memorable as the first.
Both chefs have cooked at the James Beard House in New York City. Over the years, Bastille has received RAMMY nominations and recognition from Washingtonian, Northern Virginia Magazine, The Zebra, and OpenTable.
Twenty years later, Bastille remains personal. Located in Old Town Alexandria’s historic Parker-Gray neighborhood, our restaurant is built around the people who make it what it is—from the chefs and staff behind each service to the guests who return year after year.
