Restaurant week has been announced. 3 course fixed price meals for $20.10 for lunch or $35.10 for dinner. I still think that's a little steep for lunch on a workday...but it's worth the splurge if you're sick of freezing in line at the bulgogi kart on K St.
Some of the places I've experienced (in alphabetical order):
I would go here for the biscuits alone.

May the pork belly be the only one stand you have this year. Just try not to feel guilty afterwards.

This is on recommendation from a good friend. And I once shared a cigarette with the pastry chef. He seemed legit.

My husband and I got the 27 course tasting menu here as a wedding present. We should get married more often.

Get the Queso Fundido. Get it. Get it. And not sure if they still do this, but the margaritas are stiff and cheap on Fridays.

Belly dancing and you get to eat with your hands. That might gross some out, but whatever, I had a good time. Some of the better Moroccan food I've had. DO NOT go to Casablanca in Old Town.

My friend Elizabeth works here. It must be good. I will be attending a private dinner party catered by one of the chefs this weekend...so my opinion may change.

Black Salt was great. When Chef, Nicole, Candace and I first got there we had drinks at the bar. Eventually, the bartender caught on that we are in the industry. He gave us the low down on the menu and suggested a few dishes.
ReplyDeleteNext time I go I want to focus on the appetizers.
