The Best Restaurants In Washington D.C.
Washington D.C. is known for its monuments, museums, and the chaos that ensues at Capitol Hill, but it also has a great range of delicious restaurants that are just as noteworthy. Selected
from the Washingtonian’s list of the “100 Very Best Restaurants”,
here are my five favorite.
1KOMI
A combination of Mediterranean
and Greek, Komi dazzles you with its finely-crafted cuisine. Thing to try include: the
Bay scallops, the gyros, gnocchi
with milk-roasted rabbit, greek
doughnuts, and the the gelato to finish. The last
course is served family-style, and it
will leave you feeling full and
satisfied.
2Le Diplomate
Bringing the best of France to D.C., Le Diplomate is a charming bistro with red leather
banquettes and its brasserie. For small, flavorful
dishes start with the onion soup, mushroom tart,
and the foie gras parfait. Their desserts are
delectable too. Try the crème brûlée
and the milk-chocolate pot de
crème.
3 Little Serow
Owned by chef Johnny Monis, Little Serow exudes the aroma of northern and northeastern Thai flavors in its
small, lagoon-blue dining room. Start with the snakehead
dumplings in a galangal broth. For your entree have
the crispy pork skin with anchovies. Get there early as they
do not take reservations, and there are only 28 seats in the tiny establishment.
4The Red Hen
One of the best spots for italian, The
Red Hen is not known for a
particular dish but known for executing every dish superbly. Start with the beet salad or the grilled octopus. For your
main have the tomato-braised short
rib, saffron zucca with a butternut
squash puree, or the scallops with kale and bacon. If you
have a sweet tooth, try the maple custard or the
autumn ice cream sundae.
5Woodberry Kitchen
One of the best spots for italian, The
Red Hen is not known for a
particular dish but known for executing every dish superbly. Start with the beet salad or the grilled octopus. For your
main have the tomato-braised short
rib, saffron zucca with a butternut
squash puree, or the scallops with kale and bacon. If you
