Saint-Georges Boulangerie across from Eastern Market visible at the far right.

The bakery’s pastry chef Slama Abdenour said he expects Saint-Georges will open in about three weeks.  He says he thinks the final permits to be approved next week.  The café will need a couple of weeks after that to get up and running, with a a soft opening on a Friday in March with a grand opening the following week. 

Here’s the view from the north entrance to the restaurant on C Street.

And here’s the view from the 7th Street side, looking at the north entrance.

Part of the decor, and as they say, very French.

CHC reported the coming of the bakery in the space formerly occupied by Radici at 303 7th Street, SE, in June of 2024.  The café will be the first U.S. venture for the team of restaurateurs who own five restaurants in Paris.
