Bistro Cacao has been serving modern French cuisine to DC's Capitol Hill since 2009. With over 10 years of loyal customer support and accolades, Bistro Cacao expanded their operations in the beginning of 2020 to include more patio capacity and private dining rooms.

In November 2020, Bistro Cacao welcomed the addition of Chef Alex Merritt to the helm of their kitchen. He was born and raised in Memphis, TN where his deep attachment and respect for food began at a young age by participating in BBQ competitions with his father. He moved to Washington D.C. in 2007 to work under the tutelage of Michelin star Chef Antionne Westermann at the Cafe du Parc in the Willard Hotel. Over his successful career in the DMV area, Chef Merritt has worked at well-known and renowned establishments such as The Hamilton, 1789, Range and Mussel Bar.
