all you can eat on mondays at Hill Country is definitely the best meal you can have in the district right now.
Masa 14 brunch is pretty killer but I can eat the Busboys and Poets catfish any day of the week !
Pretty much anything you put into your mouth at Taylor will bring on the “Big O” if you know what I mean…wink, wink. However the very first sandwich i tried there, the Island Ave was pretty damn amazing. Also, have you had their risotto balls, I mean COME ON?!
My Fave DC meal has to be anything at bens chili bowl past 1am.
The Bloody Maryland at Old Ebbitt.. I’m pretty sure since it’s garnished with a jumbo shrimp that it qualifies as a meal.
Well I spent New Year’s Eve at Komi and was still eating after midnight, so I think that counts. Not only the best meal of this year but the best meal of my life. That said, if we’re talking every day food, chicken and waffles at Marvin is where it’s at.
If it was my last meal on the planet, I’d go to Blue Duck Tavern for the beef ribs, duck fat fries, and whatever crumble dessert they have on the menu.
Mussels at Belga Cafe.
The Brunch Pizza at Matchbox is my favorite meal in DC. And a Bacon Bloody Mary to go along with it.
Shrimp & Grits with a side of mac and cheese and collard greens from Oohs & Aahs. At 2 AM in the morning, it is practically manna.
Vegan Nachos at Bus Boys and Poets
There’s this small shack on the national harbor that has the best shrimp po boy sandwich in the world. wish i knew the name
Spicy ful with two eggs from Keren coffee shop! Divine.
Brunch at Founding Farmers-any egg dish as long as it has the leek home fries to go with it,. Their Red Velvet Cake for dessert is fantastic as well.
Hands down the set menu at Thai Crossing on Sunday night. Totally vegetarian and flavors like I haven’t had since I actually was in Thailand years ago…Mango sticky rice dessert heaven! And love the BYOB and the folding tables and chairs too
spicy pulled pork-ish ramen from Toki Underground. It was a special and It was special. Yumm-o.
The best VEGAN meal can be had at Everlasting Life Cafe. My favorites are garlic kale, seaweed tofu spinach quiche and the live stir fry!
I love the shrimp and gouda grits at Chef Geoff’s!
Burrito Brothers has an UH-MAY-ZING steak taco salad. Seventh heaven, I’m telling you!
Mushroom risotto at Room 11. Wine: Lacrima.
tomato cider glazed meatloaf from Founding Farmers, yum!
Off the appetizer menu at Mintwood Place: Escargot hush puppies (which I call snush-puppies), Grilled baby octopus, and Maple pork cracklins. Wash it all down with a Lone Ranger from the bar.
S’mores French Toast at Coco Sala. Always amazing.
The Pescado Mexicano (fish tacos) from Oyamel….mmmm!….with a side of chips and fresh guacamole!…always have me coming back
For my birthday, we just ordered one of everything at Vinoteca and it is still the best damned meal I’ve had in DC.
My favorite meal in DC consists of chicken tamales & cheese pupusas from El Tamarindo! Yummy, cheap, and available late (for night time cravings!).
HANDS DOWN, Cava Mezze: Saganaki (lit on fire at your table), haloumi, the tasty mini gyros, mini lamb sliders, tzatziki, lollipop chicken, and ABSOLUTE MUST is their thick cut challah french toast (WITH honey, berries, and cream) for dessert. To die for.
So many good options listed here. Love the chicken and waffles at Founding Farmers, and any pizza at Matchbox. But my wife and I were fortunate enough to go to Minibar for dinner on Easter Sunday. Definitely the best Easter dinner I’ve ever had. Amazing stuff. Peanut butter and jelly Foie Gras… Ridiculous.
Bourbon flight + bone marrow at Blue Duck Tavern.
My favorite meal was at Mourayo in Dupont Circle. Royal dorado whole fish baked in salt. That’s what I call “perfection.”
Standard’s pulled pork sandwich and Mexican corn is amazing on a sunny day. Great beer list and friendly servers too. Love that place.
My favorite meal is spicy calamari and drunk noodle (chicken) at Thai Chili in China Town.
