So with that in mind, I wanted to give myself kind of a DC Metro Area Restaurant Bucket List. These are the places in the area that I haven't eaten at yet, but my mouth waters every-time they're mentioned, or in some cases I just want to know what all the hype is about.
So here goes:
- Willow
- Melting Pot (I've just never been)
AcadianaCapitol GrilleFuel- G Sandwich Shop
- Astro Doughnuts & Fried Chicken
Medium Rare- Kaz Sushi Bistro
- Maté
- A Tapas Place... Any Tapas Place... (Open to Suggestions)
- Fuego
- Thai X-ing, though I'm a little nervous to not know what I'm going to eat.
- Bourbon Steak
Pupatella- Stoney's
- The Passenger
- Graffiato
- P.J. Clarke's
- Lincoln
Rumors for Brunch (because I want to see what Aaron's Chicken and Waffles are all about)- Menomale
- Il Canale
- We the Pizza
- Red Rocks
- Rustico
- Del Ray Pizzeria
- Pizzeria Orso
- Ethiopian (Open to Suggestions)
- Osteria Marzano
- Water & Wall
- Maple Ave.
And yes there's a reason that a lot of them are all places I want to eat pizza... I friggin' LOVE PIZZA.
So that's my list! Let me know if you think there's anywhere else I should eat this year that I haven't heard of yet, because I am open to suggestions. Also! Let me know if you know of a Tapas or Ethiopian place I should eat, because I'm curious and I've never done that.
You should not be nervous at all about Thai X-ing because Thai X-ing is AWESOME INCARNATE. I will go with you and eat whatever you do not want to eat, and I will take home all of the leftovers.
ReplyDeleteLincoln actually has a really great brunch value, and it pleased a party of picky eaters that I took there. So, there's that.
Tapas - I think most would recommend Jaleo, but I guess it depends on the kind of tapas you're looking for. Did you want traditional Spanish tapas, or meze, which is Greek/Turkish?
Dukem is the standard-bearer for Ethiopian, but the boyfriend and I had dinner at Ethiopic on H Street recently and it was delightful. I've also had pretty good meals at Queen of Sheba, which is at 9th Street and O NW and is largely unpopulated.
Great tips! Noted on the Thai X-ing! I'll let you know when I plan on going!
DeleteTapas- if I was eating tapas for literally the first time ever, which would you suggest - Jaleo or Meze?
