Our Story

Season the Moment

At Bresca, we believe in everything at its prime. Our focus is to bring the best and most responsibly sourced ingredients to the table.

Bresca is a contemporary Parisian bistro showcasing techniques rooted in France but influenced by our regionality, carefully sourcing only the best ingredients from both the mid atlantic & abroad. Building off the vibrant food scene of Paris's Neo-bistro movement, Bresca displays an inspiring take on French cuisine in a relaxing environment.  This enables our genuine approach to food & hospitality to shine.  

Bresca was recognized with one star in the 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, & 2023 Michelin guides.
