Seven Things to Know About Del Ray Cafe’s Soft Opening Tonight

1. Laurent Janowsky is welcoming Del Ray neighbors and friends to the soft opening tonight of his new, more-casual French restaurant, Del Ray Café. (D’uh.)
2. Janowsky also owns the fancy French Le Bergerie in Old Town.
3. He’s hoping for a slow night to let the kitchen ease in. “I want to be here a long time,” says the veteran restauranter, “and not short term, so I don’t want to srcew up my opening.”
3. Le Bergerie’s Sylvian Tonello will become executive chef of both restaurants and will now be primarly cooking at Del Ray Café.
4. The menu will be sustainable, natural, organic and local, but, says Janowsky, ”with a little bit of poison, meaning that there’s some stuff…that’s too good to pass up.” Expect foie gras and beignets.
5. Starting Monday, Del Ray Cafe will be ready with breakfast at 7 a.m. and will also offer lunch and dinner.
6. Boozers welcome – Jankowsky scored a liquor license.
7. And of course, here’s a peek at the Del Ray Cafe menu
205 East Howell Ave., Alexandria; 703-717-9151.
