A brief history of ICI Urban Bistro
Indeed, the history of ICI Urban Bistro does not have an extensive story but does relate to traditional French cuisine. Located within the Sofitel Lafayette Square, ICI Urban Bistro was launched in February of 2008 and quickly updated a previous French décor restaurant called Café 15. Both menus of each French restaurant shared an interesting fun fact which includes the same award-winning French chef.
This earned Café 15 a prominent place on the Washingtonian’s 100 Best Restaurants list for 2007. Yet the new concept for ICI Urban Bistro replaced an aging example of smoky bistro Brasseries for an upscale and trendy Washington D.C. dining experience. This unique design change saw major splashes of elegant red decorations and décor. Walls were adorned with beautifully painted modern art and featured highly polished walnut tables.
One aspect that made ICI Urban Bistro truly unforgettable was the ambiance of true French cuisine that far outweighed the previous incarnation of Café 15. Not only was the original kitchen staff preserved, but their wine bar also wasn’t changed a single bit. Moreover, the style was treated to a hip makeover that helped ICI become one of D.C.’s crowning gems. Sadly, the onset of a global pandemic in 2020 saw the closure of ICI, which is currently still closed.
One of the highlights of this restaurant location is that it can be found less than a block from The White House. For those who enjoy the elegant settings of Hotel Sofitel, ICI was located within the lobby area inside the hotel itself. Any guest visiting ICI would not want to miss out on going to Le Bar before or after their meal. This lounge-based setting with an excellent combination of modern and classic décor also treated patrons to top-notch mixed cocktails.
Aside from a fresh and updated appearance, ICI hosted many dinner parties and private events. This also involved weddings for large and small groups. ICI could comfortably seat up to 45 or more guests, however, larger groups could be accommodated. Access to the Paris Ballroom within Hotel Sofitel also featured an additional 1,700 square feet. ICI was also a favorite to D.C. residents who frequently enjoyed weekend brunches and evening dinners.
