Dining

DC has some of the most diverse culinary experiences in the country. 

  • Thip Khao: Considered the standard-bearer for Lao cuisine in D.C., Thip Khao comes from mother-and-son chefs Seng Luangrath and Boby Pradachith. Their Columbia Heights standby continues to satisfy heat-seekers with a menu full of fermented fish sauce, a heavy dose of chiles, offal, and cured meats.

  • Elephant Jumps: This standout Thai restaurant provides a much need jolt of heat and flavor. 

  • Martha Dear: Inside a narrow, dark basement underneath an ice cream shop in Mount Pleasant, Martha Dear owners Tara Smith and Demetri Mechelis serve a style of Greek pizza that’s unlike anything else in D.C.

  • Maydan: Maydan sets an Arabic table with communal plates like zucchini baba ghanoush, chicken shish taouk kebabs, and ribeye seasoned with blue fenugreek, all complemented by an array of condiments such as toum, tahina sauce, and zhug.

  • Las Gemelas: The new venture from the crew behind Espita Mezcaleria is two concepts in one: a “fast-fancy” all-day taqueria and a full-service, seafood-centric Mexican restaurant.

  • The Monocle: Founded in 1960 and a favorite for Members of Congress, staff and visitors to our nation’s capital, The Monocle is the closest restaurant to the U.S. Capitol building and Union Station and provides a delightful dining experience.

  • Café Berlin: Classic German-style food in the heart of DC.

  • Nando’s Peri-Peri: Home of the legendary South African flame-grilled PERi-PERi chicken and sauces.

  • Old Ebbitt Grill: With a history dating back to 1856, this legendary spot offers great seafood options but a menu that can accommodate all.

  • We the Pizza: A simple, incredibly tasty pizza joint. 

  • West Wing Café: Some of the best cafés in DC, open for breakfast and lunch.
