Georgetown Restaurants Washington DC
Bistro Lepic and Wine Bar
(French, Upper Georgetown)1736 Wisconsin Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20007
202-333-0111
Very cozy, rather cute French bistro, now featuring a wine bar with several French wines available by the glass and half glass. They do a great Valentine's Day prix fixe. Interesting dishes include the crusty boneless pigs feet with onion sauce and the free range organic chicken with curry, coconut milk, lemon grass, and saffron basmati rice. Six dessert wines by the glass.
Café Milano
(Italian, Georgetown)3251 Prospect Street NW
Washington, DC 20007
202-333-6183
Chic Italian restaurant where you will often find celebrities, politicians, and the Georgetown elite. Look the look if you want to be seated at a good table.
Citronelle
(French, Georgetown)3000 M Street NW
Washington, DC 20007
202-625-2150
Michel Richard's Citronelle is a romantic restaurant best known for its fresh, light foods, like the tomato tart. The restaurant also is noted for its seafood, particularly its lobster pasta, which is served in a caviar tin.
Fahrenheit - Review
3100 South Street NW
Washington, DC 20007
202-912-4110
Great for special occasions, Fahrenheit is an upscale restaurant featuring American regional cuisine in the Ritz Carlton Hotel. Prices are high, but the food and wait staff make this a great dining experience.
Heritage India
(Indian, Glover Park, across from Whole Foods)2400 Wisconsin Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20007
202-333-3120
This original location of Heritage India is more traditionally oriented towards dinner than the Dupont Circle restaurant. Delicious Indian cuisine in comfortable and elegant setting with friendly service make this one of the best in DC. If you like variety, you can't go wrong with either the Nawabi khazana or Begumi khazana (vegetarian) combination platters.
La Chaumiere
2813 M St NW
Washington, DC 20007
202-338-1784
An authentic French dining inn, with its central stone fireplace, wood beams, and stucco walls provides a cozy and slightly rustic atmosphere. First courses include a deeply-flavored lobster bisque and baked mussels. Second courses include river trout with almonds, shad roe (in season), true Dover sole, crab cakes, steaks, and various organ meats. For dessert, opt for a soufle (chocolate, Grand Mariner, or both!). Thursday is cassoulet night.
Moby Dick House of Kebab - Review
1070 31st Street Georgetown
Washington, DC 20007
202-333-4400
Known as a reasonably-priced local Middle Eastern favorite, it has since spread to several DC metro area locations, all of which serve a mostly standard menu. What makes Moby Dick's popular among locals is simply its almost perfected focus on all things kebabs. Beef, lamb and chicken combinations make up the meal options, though less popular vegetarian and seafood kebab options are also offered.
Neyla - Review
(Mediterranean, Georgetown, N and Wisconsin)3206 N Street NW
Washington, DC 20007
202-333-6353
Tucked away off of the bustling streets of M St. in Georgetown, this trendy restaurant has it all; ambiance, cocktails, and great food. The braised lamb is served with an eggplant puree and manchego cheese, which makes a perfect sharp and slightly tangy accompaniment to the succulent lamb.
Pizzeria Paradiso
(Pizza/Italian, Georgetown)3282 M Street NW
Washington, DC 20007
202-337-1245
The Georgetown location of this DC favorite boasts a bar with 16 draft beers. The Happy Hour in the adjacent lounge from 5 to 7 pm on Tuesdays and Wednesdays features half price draft beers.
Sequoia
(American/Raw Bar, Georgetown Harbor)3000 K Street NW
Wasington, DC 20007
202-944 4200
Serving traditional American bar and raw bar fare, the lure of Sequoia is being able to look out onto the Potomac, with a great view of the Kennedy Center and the Watergate, watching boats go by, and watching scantily clad young women board the boats of typically much older men. Or if you are so lucky, hopping off your own boat for beers and some oysters.
