In an interview with BisNow Chef Cedric Maupillier said to

"Expect a hybrid of a French café and an American diner serving breakfast, lunch and dinner.
I’m going to do what I’m known for by bringing over flavor, precision, execution and quality products,”

he went on to tells us. 

"The difference? Slightly smaller portions, “medium plates,” 

then he he joked and a lower price point.

Today on Tom Sietsema's chat today, the big news is that Cedric Maupillier, Saied Azali are bringing a new restaurant to City Market at O. Below is a report from The Washington Post

"Restaurateur Saied Azali and chef Cedric Maupillier have signed a lease to open a second concept together, at 801 O St. NW --- otherwise known as City Market at O in Shaw. Yet to be named, the 120-seat dining room will be a riff on the business partners' popular Mintwood Place, home to American food with a French accent.

Except the spin-off will find smaller portions and lower prices. "I want to cook for the 99 percent and their kids," says Maupillier, who hopes to reach a younger audience with his cooking in the future 5,000-square foot space.   His next restraurant will be on the ground floor of the Cambria Suites hotel and be open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Saied and Maupillier want to break ground by August.  Look for an early 2015 debut."
