Places to Eat in the D.C. Area
We’re visiting D. C. more these days because we have family there. We’ll add to this list of restaurants we’ve enjoyed and recommend to you. The food is good in all of them.
Alexandria
Chadwick’s – a unique menu in a historic building
Geranio Ristorante – affordable fine dining – their acclaimed, European-trained Chef Clayton is apparently a believer
Il Porto Ristorante – fantastic Italian – the building’s history is fascinating, so read the menu
Georgetown
Near the Mall
Clara Barton Cafe – in the Red Cross building near the White House. Low prices and not busy.
The Smithsonian has several cafeterias:
- Mitsitam in the Museum of the American Indian is a MUST DO – native ingredients and flavors of Native American cuisine.
Tysons Corner
Danielle’s Desserts – we tried their yummy cupcakes – located in Tysons Galleria
Lebanese Taverna – great menu – located in Tysons Galleria
Vienna
Nielsen’s Frozen Custard in cups or cones – Yum!
Several Locations
Capitol City Brewing Company – our nephew, Erik, recommends the ribs
Founding Farmers – run by a collective of family farms
Jason’s Deli – a chain with great soups, salads, and sandwiches
Johnny Rockets – a fun chain taking you back in time for some All-American burgers, shakes, and fries
Lost Dog Cafe has great pizza
Noodles & Company, a chain, has Asian and Mediterranean noodle dishes, great salads, and more
Red, Hot & Blue for some yummy barbecue!
Red Mango – get what you want in frozen yogurt and toppings and then pay by weight
NOTES:
