This Alsatian-style cottage in bucolic Great Falls has the distinction of being the oldest restaurant—and the longest fixture—on our list. Little has changed in the special-occasion-worthy upstairs dining room. It’s still charmingly filled with folksy French knickknacks, and the seared foie gras, lobster with Sauternes butter, and Grand Marnier soufflé we have long loved haven’t changed in decades. Downstairs, Jacques’ is a more casual dining room that’s our go-to spot for choucroute garni, the Alsatian-style feast of meats and sausages atop sauerkraut.
