One of my all time favorite places to eat in Arlington! A casual, authentic neighborhood French bistro with an outstanding menu! The only problem I always have with Cafe Colline is what I am going to chose on the menu! I have never had a bad meal there! For appetizers, the Bibb salad is amazing and fresh. The Smoked Trout Rillette is a must! For entrees, the mussels, the Loup de Mer, and the duck confit are all amazing. Save room for dessert! Reservations fill up fast, so plan in advance!

DELICIOUS! A cozy favorite French neighborhood restaurant with a welcoming staff, serving yummy & beautifully prepared dishes. Pop by for an after work drink and dinner at the bar where no reservations are needed or cozy into a booth table for their perfectly prepared steak frites. Finish it off with a digestif and the olive oil cake or seasonal specialty.

My wife and one of our son’s,had dinner and it was delicious.I had the bass and my wife had salmon,both were cooked perfectly. Our son had the duck and enjoyed every bite. Our server was one of the best,I’ve seen in a long time.He never let our glasses get empty and was so attentive. I hope when we come bck to visit our son,we will have time to enjoy this establishment again.
