Question

What are some cool, unique restaurants in Washington, DC?

Answer 1

These are all restaurants I've been to and recommend:

Indebleu - Indian / French fusion with a very hip dining room. Call ahead if you want to reserve a table in the ultra hip lounge which always seems to be packed when I go.

Vidalia - think Southern chic. Many dishes feature vidalia onions, grits, and ham in delightfully inventive, fresh recipes.

Corduroy - the dining room is a little underwhelming but the food delights.

Rosa Mexicano - gorgeous dining room and the best guacamole in DC. I also like the pomegranate Margarita.

Zola - next to the Spy Museum, it captures a little of the museum's playfully secretive style

Citronelle - a buzzing open kitchen, sleek decor, food that is to DIE for (with a matching price tag) and the color-changing wall. Check out the "breakfast" dessert!

Answer 3

Well, my all time favorite place to eat in D.C. is Jaleo! It’s this tapas place downtown as well as in Bethesda Maryland. The atmosphere is fun and if you are in to tapas and sangria then this place is amazing.

But if your not really looking to eat fancy there are multiple diners that are also delicious. There is Steak and Egg on Wisconsin Ave in Tenly Town. It’s open 24 hours a day but it gets shut down for health code violations a few times a year. But don’t be put off because the chocolate chip pancakes are to die for.

There is one more place called Marvin on 14th street which i have never been to but I hear is super cool. It’s got outdoor seating on the upstairs deck. it looked really unique.

i hope this helped.

I love Marrakesh restaurant it's expensive though but the food is great. They have a belly dancing show during dinner where they turn off the lights. You sit on pillows w/a low Morroccan table. Here's the link

(New York Ave)

Bucca de Pepe in Dupont-Make a reservation to eat/be seated in their kitchen and watch your meal being cooked! This is so fun Order dessert and they sing!

I also liked Rosa Mexicano-you can get your host to make homemade guacomole at your table

American City Diner-watch black and white movie while eating American food (Connecticut Avenue)

Vegetate (9th St) Vegeterian

Jaleo or Zantinya -tapas

Blair Mansion-it's on the DC/Silver Spring line

Murder Mystery Dinner

Georgia Brown's Brunch

Low Country Cuisine  (Must make reservations)

www.gbrowns.com

They have a live band (sometimes jazz, sometimes other acts)

Brunch is broken up in 3 parts--open brunch, pick a entree, dessert

Jackie's in Silver Spring would also be fun-it's modern american but the place is funky.

Answer 7

Morton's is really great. It is affordable I think and the food is excellent.
