Part of Restaurants by Chef Jeremiah Langhorne and Alex Zink

Petite Cerise is the second restaurant from the creators of The Dabney.

Part neighborhood café, part energetic bistro, Petite Cerise is located in a bright and lively historic corner space in Shaw/Mount Vernon Triangle. The restaurant features separate menus for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, each built upon the values the creative team finds to be truly French: integrity of ingredients and technique and an appreciation for culinary history and traditions. Guests here are encouraged to slow down and savor their meal, whether they come in for a morning coffee and crepe, stretch out lunch over a glass of wine, or gather with friends for an indulgent dinner.

We are looking for team members who care deeply about food and the hospitality industry, and want to be an active part of building our Petite Cerise restaurant culture. If you are excited about what we're doing and value what we value - Commitment, Agency, Integrity, Adaptability, and Hospitality - we'd love to hear from you.
