Favorite DC Restaurants

by Lauren on May 17, 2013

There are always new restaurants popping up in DC. Right now it’s all about Le Diplomate and Del Campo. There’s also Beuchert’s Saloon and Daikaya, just to name a few. And what’s DC with out another José Andrés hot spot? Barmini, located next to Minibar opened in February and offers over 100 odd cocktails. But you must make a reservation.

One place that I came across on my own was Mari Vanna. A Russian restaurant and lounge that’s an international chain. With the look of a Russian tea house, it is the chicest little spot to grab drinks with friends and enjoy one of the many infused vodkas they make in house. I went with a traditional Russian cocktail recommended by my server: Horseradish vodka, cucumber and dill vodka, club soda, and a splash of lime.

Interesting yet tasty, but I would have been happier sipping it with some smoked salmon. I’ll have to go back to try the food.

There are so many restaurants I want to try, but here are a couple of my favorites posts from favorite restaurants in the past.

Blue Duck Tavern-located in the Park Hyatt, this restaurant offers wholesome American fare, prepared through simple, time-honored cooking methods. The menu is based on seasonal ingredients, and the portions are family style.

A month ago I took my Aunt and some of her friends treking through DC tasting some of my favorite food and drinks. I taped the whole thing to share with you. I had so much fun that I plan on doing many more of these (maybe you can come along in person too!) with different restaurants.
