My husband and I love this place.
We've been coming here for a few years and it's always quality food and a quality experience.
Their escargot, and their mussels, are top notch, the likes of which I've only had in France/Belgium.
This is one of the places we always bring guests who come to visit us.
While it might be priced a bit more than a casual restaurant, it's not ridiculously expensive like some other places in the area, and it's amazing quality for what you pay.

We enjoyed a nice meal at Django.
I wasn’t sure about the menu at first, but when I saw there were salad options, there was no question.
I had the beet and goats cheese salad, with added steak.
I was surprised that the lighter vegetable on my plate was also a beetroot and not tomato, but still enjoyed it.
The steak was nicely flavoured.
My fiancé had the Caesar salad with added salmon.
We did share the Belgian chocolate custard with malden salt for dessert - that was the highlight

Django is a cute unassuming French Brasserie spot in downtown Des Moines, Iowa. The menu features a range of classic French dishes.
I got their fresh seared tuna Niçoise salad.
This dish had perfectly seared tuna, accompanied by the traditional components of a Niçoise salad—fresh greens, olives, tomatoes, and a hard-boiled egg, all drizzled with a tangy vinaigrette.
The tuna was tender and flavorful.
Loved it! The ambiance at Django is cozy with elegant French décor like that for a traditional Brasserie.
