Penn Quarter Dining
Splitting Penn Quarter, Chinatown, and Judiciary Square away from Pennsylvania Ave (the southern border of those areas) made sense for attractions and walking tours, less so for dining. The reason is that there aren't a lot of restaurants themselves on Pennsylvania Ave, you have to walk up into Penn Quarter, which is rife with them.
If you are touring the Mall--specifically the eastern end where the museums are--it is often less than a 15 minute walk to anywhere listed below. If that sounds like too much, there are Metro trains and buses you can take to cut some of that walking. Our suggestion, however, would be to take an Uber. The ride both ways would cost under $20 (for a standard UberX) and you would likely save that amount, or get much better quality, by eating away from the Mall.
Jump to Fast Casual DiningThis is currently the sole restaurant from super chef Michel Richard (described as a bistro, but priced like a four-star), and it pays tribute to Richard’s unique mix of culinary devotion and quirky humor. Visually, Central is something like a Swedish contemporary retro-diner: blond wood with wine-colored accents and industrial chic metals, a long Les Halles–retro white marble bar, see-through wine cellars and meat locker, and frites baskets that resemble Container Store mesh pencil pits.
Though its culinary Elvis is only rarely in the house, Central remains one of Washington’s best restaurants, annoying as it can occasionally be (loud, and with a pushy i’m-a-regular lunchtime swagger crowd, even when the waiter ignores them). Some of its longest-running items remain favorites: a $30 lobster burger (really more like a lobster-scallop mousse on brioche); short ribs braised for two days in both wine and beer; “faux gras” (chicken pâte); delicate skate with lentils. And the (seriously) KFC-inspired bucket of lunch-to-go fried chicken (six pieces, six nuggets, and mashed potatoes) is $30. (it does make a pretty astounding picnic.)

Three things to know: this ramen is nothing like the dry dollar- store stuff, and in fact is made for Daikaya in Sapporo (you may see the fresh noodles drying on a rack); an izakawa is traditionally a sort of Japanese pub that turns out small plates for drinkers (“sakaya” is a sake bar). two of Washington’s true food stars are partners in this double-decker establishment— Daisuke Utagawa, whose Sushi-ko was among Washington’s first great Japanese restaurants, and Katsuya Fukushima, who was for many years chef at José Andrés’s groundbreaking Minibar. the laser-cut steel exterior bears the Japanese kanji for “water,” and at night the back light turns it into a lit lantern, which is what says an Izakawa is open. the textiles and vintage posters are imported, the “wallpaper” is sheets of manga, and the exposed wood is traditional; the blue-and-yellow chevron-painted bar suggests the ramen carts that are a fast-meal fixture at Japanese train stations.
Downstairs is the no-reservations ramen bar, where, if you get a seat by the kitchen counter, you can see the noodles being boiled, the bean sprouts being charred, and the long-simmered broths (chicken, pork, beef, or a vegan version) being prepared. dumplings are just about the only other option. (Slurping is encouraged.) Upstairs is the izakawa, where nibblies include grilled eggplant, grilled or baked oysters, ginger-spiked turkey wings, grilled avocado, miso-braised mackerel to be eaten bones and all, monkfish liver (ankimo) with ratatouille (not so sushi-bar conventional), pork-stuffed rice balls (something like the Japanese version of arancini), and skewers of not only the usual suspects but beef tongue and pork with brussels sprouts. this is one of the wackiest (and best) spots for brunch: Japanese-style fried chicken and waffles with wasabi-spiked sauce, eggs benedict with tonkatsu sauce instead of hollandaise, a croissant with sea urchin and white miso, a gin rickey with green-tea soda, and more.

Though he’s worked all over the world, Washington considers Fabio Trabocchi a prodigal chef. this is the same space that once was Bice, Trabocchi’s first American kitchen, and few second acts have been more welcome. Fiola is easily the area’s best Italian restaurant, and it has a volume level you can actually converse over. the decor is like a Frank Lloyd Wright concoction— part rustic (stacked-stone walls) and part Mad Men (white leather banquettes, massive cut-glass chandeliers, a touch of gilding, and what looks like a Murano glass basin in the restroom). The menu equivalent: house-made spaghetti with sea urchin, mussels, and scallops is elegant and intoxicating.
Think big and assured: lobster-stuffed ravioli in a gingery sauce (a signature dish going back to days at Maestro at the Ritz Tysons Corner); carpaccio and tartare (“Italian sushi”); tortellini stuffed with lamb belly and served with sweetbreads and fennel confit; or a roast veal ribeye sauced with sweetbreads and osso bucco; prosciutto-wrapped veal chop; pheasant with butternut agnolotti; or fresh pappardelle with suckling pig/veal ragu. “Maria’s Menu” items, named for his wife, are healthy by design, but you can always get a simple grilled fish (or fresh sweet calamari). For a really special occasion, spring for the four- or six-course tasting menus, $105 and $120 before wine pairings.

This fine tapas restaurant from super-chef José Andrés is a lot like Andrés himself, simultaneously faithful and irreverent. (The cocktail and wine menus come on an iPad, just for a start.) A renovation replaced the downtown restaurant’s signature Sargent mural of a gypsy tango with a new painting of Footloose-like dancing feet (and a foosball table); chicken fritters are served in a Cinderella–meets–Michael Jordan glass sneaker; gazpacho is served as a sauce from which tomatoes and bread emerge like the rocks of a zen garden.
Tapas change frequently, but among recent choices are: grilled sausages over white beans, named for the late Senator and fan Daniel Patrick Moynihan; oysters gin and tonic; a sort of sea urchin crostini; five types of paellas, including a porcini–veggie version, a squid ink fideuà, and a soupy lobster risotto; rabbit confit with apricot puree; grilled quail; sliders of blackfoot Iberico pork; four-cheese grilled sandwiches with honey; “wrinkled” potatoes with red-and-green mojo sauces; and the crispy-thin pan tomate that is closer to flatbread than crostini. They may not be called charcuterie and cheese boards, but varieties of fine Iberico hams, sausages, and varieties of cheeses are a strong presence, both as stars and supporting characters. nevertheless, vegetarians could spend a whole day here. Daily specials and particularly seasonal rarities are extremely good bets.

Jose Andrés indisputably blew minds, and traditionally-equipped kitchens, when he opened the first really mini-Minibar in the mid-1990s, and it continues to lead the way in gustatory experimentation, making Andrés the James Beard award chef of 2011. it may be titanium-credit-card expensive—$250 per person before any of the wine-pairing choices ($75, $125, or $200) or well-deserved tips—but more than two dozen courses, incredible technique, and almost flawless flavors make this a 10 in all ways. Though “expanded” to 12 seats (with two seatings nightly), this is still a hot ticket; reserve as early as possible (website only), up to three months in advance. Diners have a ringside seat as waves of chefs—the two “tables,” really kitchen-side bars, of six are seated with a 30-minute split to allow for fluid service—use liquid nitrogen, sous-vide, smoking, searing, and occasionally the cotton-candy spinner to transform familiar foods into bubbles, foams, and toys (a meringue rubber ducky with “brains” of foie gras or a similar piggy with bacon ice cream). This is smoke and mirrors of the most delicious kind, but it will not suit the traditionalist or the humorless. Andrés trained at the world-famous El Bulli, the birthplace of deconstructed gastronomy, and he has done mentor Ferran Adrià proud. amazingly, as elaborate as the menu is, Minibar can accommodate vegetarians and some allergies; when you make your reservations, there is a questionnaire, and the staff will check back with you to get it exactly right.
Some of the indulgence is flavor, some is texture, and some is eye candy (tricks); some of these two-and-three-bite dishes involve 8–10 steps. Olive oil quivers in a drop like a jelly bean; “carrots” are actually pastry-tube-squeezed concentration of puree; classic tapas are reinvented, with marcona almonds transformed into an ice and then topped with a foam of blue cheese, or fava beans in a cream of clam. there are also fava pigs’ tail “curry” in a meringue bun; “pizza” of Paremean paper, freeze-dried tomato dust and burrata; and “dragon’s breath,” for which you swallow two shots and breathe out smoke, if not fire.

The Old Ebbit Grill is a Washington landmark, sentimentally if not actually: the original opened nearby in 1856, has a list of presidential patrons to equal any in Washington, and has been in this location for more than 30 years. It doesn’t get a lot of food-trend buzz, but it doesn’t need the business: the mahogany main bar, white-linen-and-wood dining room, and classic oyster bar around back off the atrium are almost constantly humming with lawyers, lobbyists, interns, and tourists. (Don’t miss the antique marble staircase or the carved glass partitions showing the white House, Capitol, and treasury buildings). All four bars—yes, four—have art and decor worth exploring. If you’re planning to come around Cherry blossom Festival, Fourth of July, inauguration, or other busy times, make even your breakfast reservations early. The Old Ebbitt takes its White House neighborhood location seriously, but not too seriously. that is, it gives out pagers to patrons waiting for tables, but the staff democratically seats the ties and t-shirts side by side.
This actually belongs to the local Clyde’s group, which guarantees good service and quality. The menu runs an all-American gamut but with interesting updates: chili-braised pork osso bucco, lamb shank, jambalaya, calf’s liver, mussels fra diavolo, crab cakes, local seafood, and the Clyde’s burger, a local standard. The oyster bar is lovely, and the oyster-centric wine list is first-rate. Even the (very extensive) late-night menu is lively, with Korean pork-belly tacos and empanadas alongside the seafood, sandwiches, chowders, and even steaks. Annually, during the brief halibut season in Alaska, the Old Ebbitt and its Clyde’s cousins have a halibut celebration that is a command performance for seafood lovers.

Oyamel refers to a kind of tree that is the destination of the monarch butterflies that annually migrate to Mexico; hence the fabulous mobile of a butterfly flurry (look for the day of the dead butterfly, which is when the monarchs generally arrive in Mexico). While Oyamel accepts reservations, it holds aside plenty of tables for walk-ins. This is particularly popular with kids, because everybody likes salsa and chips (free), tangy guacamole made tableside, fries in mole . . . you get the idea.
Do not confuse this with Tex-Mex. This is dedicated Mexican street food, which might include hanger steak and eggs with refried beans and salsa verde on a housemade corn tortilla; a fine spicy version of menudo (tripe soup), the classic weekend hangover remedy; local pork spare ribs, and so on. And if you think you’ve had tacos, try those fresh corn tortillas filled with seared house-cured pork belly with chilies and pineapple; confit of suckling pig, cracklings and tomatillos; braised beef tongue; or turkey leg confit blanketed with an almost Middle Eastern pecan, almond, and sesame mole, belly chicharrónes, and many more.
Vegetarians and vegans have plenty of options here, including seasonal veggie mole; plantain and squash fritters stuffed with black beans; and a sort of Swiss chard, hazelnut, and dried-fruit pilaf. (We’re not sure what grasshoppers count as, but sautéed with tequila and guac, they make a pretty amazing taco). In addition to good wine, beer, and tequila lists, Oyamel serves a mean margarita—several, in fact. there is a lunch special—two appetizers and a taco (or one appetizer and a sweet) for $20—in this case, the little bites range from spicy cactus paddles to mahimahi ceviche (one of many) with avocado and olives, several taco options (from wild mushrooms to braised beef tongue), spicy shrimp, and so on.

Not Middle eastern in the usual sense, or in its looks, Zaytinya—which means “olive oil” in Turkish—is specifically Eastern Mediterranean. This is a showpiece: big, high, and airy minimalist room, white and angular with a soaring atrium-style ceiling, cut-through shelving walls stocked with lit candles, a long (and very busy) bar, half-hidden dining nooks and niches, a fireplace, and a mezzanine overlooking the Manhattan-style communal table in the center of the main dining room. It’s loud, it’s lively, and it’s delicious. After all, it’s another José Andrés production.
First things first: the endless hot-from-the-oven pita, as inflated as a balloon, is to most pita bread as a soufflé is to scrambled eggs. And you don’t even have to choose from among the half-dozen dips—you can order a combo. The menu does change frequently, but among indicative dishes are lamb mini-meatballs with cinnamon oil and dried fruit; potato-crusted snails; prawns in smoked tomato sauce; giant favas with tomatoes and red onions; traditional pressed-mullet caviar; squid and octopus in a variety of treatments; braised lamb shanks; imported Turkish pastrami; feta and tomato-stuffed quail; crab cakes with shaved fennel; flaming cheese; fried eggplant; veal cheeks with chanterelle puree; grilled pork and orange-rind sausage; braised rabbit with lentils; and fried mussels with pistachios. For vegetarians and vegans, this is a throwback Garden of eden, with dozens of options.

This is a relatively large local chain with 25 restaurants around D.C. (and 6 in the Chicago area). At it’s heart, this is a restaurant that serves chicken (and salads and other things) for about $8-$14, but this is some pretty darn good chicken. The founder of the restaurant was blown away by a Portuguese restaurant in South Africa, and decided to bring that style (and its Peri-Peri sauce) to D.C. The restaurant itself is an odd combination of fast food and sit-down dining; you are seated at a table with a number, but order at a counter, and your food is delivered to your table.
Order something with Peri-Peri chicken–it's juicy, tender, and not overcooked–and comes with two sides for $12.65 (sides optional). Nando’s also has an alcohol license, so you can grab a beer if you like.

A build-you-own bowl chain specializing in Greek cuisine, Cava serves bright, vibrant food. You start with a base of greens, grains or a pita and add cheese, meats, spreads, veggies, and dressings. The combinations all seem to be pretty good (to the point that we have trouble deciding each and every time). What we are always pleasantly surprised by is the freshness and color of the food. You would think they artificially enhanced the look of the products--if they do we don't want to know, because it tastes so good.
Our only qualm is not something specific to Cava: it's the interior of the space. Like so many others, they went with a sparse, industrial look that makes the place feel cold and distant. We blame Chipotle.

You know those toasters that hotels have at their continental breakfast? The ones that are basically a metal conveyor belt under a heater? Well, that’s the central idea behind &pizza. You can either choose from a handful of pre-created pizza combos or create your own mixture from dozens of toppings. The pizza professionals pile them on top of the long, rectangular crust, then place the whole thing into the conveyor belt oven. About 5 minutes later you’ve got your personal pizza.
The toppings here seem fresh, and it's nice they add certain things (basil, goat cheese, balsamic, etc.) after the oven so that they stay flavorful. That said, the pizza itself is just okay–much more of a flatbread than a pizza. The place is clean, but it doesn't help that it’s very sparse and industrial looking.

District Taco is a small, local chain that specializes in…wait for it…you’ll be shocked…tacos! District Taco reminds us of the chain version of a southern California taco shop, but more customizable. You can select your type of shell, meat, and toppings.
Our favorites are the chorizo and pollo asado. The quality of the ingredients is high, but watch the more out of the way (i.e. not downtown) branches later in the day; the proteins can get a little dried out if the turnover isn't high enough. The tacos cost about $3 each, and there are a few ways to increase the price–$0.75 extra for carnitas or any premium topping including bacon and guacamole. We're never blown away by the food, but we find ourselves at a District Taco fairly often nonetheless.

For Merzi, you could simply read everything we wrote about Cava Mezza Grill above and replace "Greek" with "Indian." You build your meal with a base layer of greens, grains, or naan bread, then add meats, veggies, spreads, and sauces. Also like Cave, the food at Merzi is fresh and delicious. If you like Indian food, think you might like Indian food, or aren't sure if you'll like Indian food, you might want to give Merzi a shot.

Occasionally, when writing about Fast Casual dining we feel like our record is busted (kids, ask a hipster about what a record is). Let us know when this sounds familiar: you begin your meal here with a base of rice, noodles, or greens, then add meats, veggies, sauces, and spreads. Yep, it's another build your own place, this time for Southeast Asian/Thai cuisine.
Honestly, we can't even be mad that these places all sound so similar because they're all high-quality. The flavors of the food at Shophouse are outstanding and we always respect a restaurant that doesn't cool off their spice for the general public. On that note, beware when they say the Spicy Red Curry is 4 flames...it certainly is.

Korean-style tacos made with all fresh ingredients. If you aren't hungry already than there's nothing else we can say to convince you. At TaKorean you build your own tacos, rice bowl, slaw bowl, or the excellent half-and-half rice/slaw combo. There aren't a lot of other options: proteins, a few toppings, and that's it. The simplicity and quality of the ingredients and their preparation are all that matters here, and that's how it should be with tacos.

This local chain of sandwich shops takes simple-sounding sandwiches, makes them from fresh, local ingredients, and adds a little bit of sophistication (yes, we consider brie sophisticated). The food at Taylor Gourmet is good, but not great, although definitely better quality than you'll find at a Subway. If you are craving a sandwich there is probably one close by, and even though they will run you up to $12 for a large, that's way less than you'll pay at any table service place (and most museum cafes).

As lovers of New York-style thin crust pizza, we really want to roll our eyes at Wiseguys...but it's actually pretty good. The crust is thin, they use fresh ingredients, and they use ovens that are heated to the approximate temperature of the sun. The decor is a little "hey, c'mon I'm walkin' here" stereotypical New York, but we're probably over-sensitive about those things. The hours are ridiculously late, so if you crave a slice after a night of merriment you know where to go.
This location is in Judiciary Square, so watch out for the lunch rush from the nearby courthouses. If you can't get there before 11:30am don't even try until after 1:30, you won't even get in the door.
