This month marks 20 years since Lynne and Raymond Campet opened up La Côte d’Or Café and brought a bit of la vie française from Raymond’s home country to the Washington, D.C. suburbs. In the restaurant’s two-decade run, it has garnered praise by way of glowing reviews and spots on top restaurant lists, as well as a devoted following among local gourmets who even on a weekday night find their way to the corner of Lee Highway and Westmoreland Street for its French cuisine. Now, the local restaurant is inviting the community to celebrate its 20th anniversary with a champagne dinner and discounted $20 three-course weekday dinner specials that may turn deal seekers into the next generation of restaurant supporters.
