Located in Adams Morgan, tucked away in an unsuspecting Victorian brownstone, Maison Bar À Vins is a classy wine bar filled with old money vibes!
It houses a wine collection that contains north of 1,000 bottles and serves up some small but highly satisfying French-inspired dishes.
The restaurant opened very recently, just in September, but it has quickly risen in the ranks of the D.C. food scene and become a local favorite.

Found in the Union Market district, Chai Pani serves up authentic Indian street food dishes that you don’t often find at other places claiming to offer a similar dining experience!
The unique menu, complete with items like crispy okra fries and kale pakoras, has drawn in a crowd of curious Washingtonians who have come to the consensus that Chai Pani is the real deal!

Serving up unique street food recipes found only in Nepal and parts of India!
Many reviews state that the restaurant not only features fantastic food, but also a striking interior that feels designed to promote a sense of togetherness and community.
In particular, the reviews mention the restaurant’s community-style table in the middle of the restaurant being a fun change of pace from a typical dining experience in the District.

A ‘Homestyle Turkish-Mediterranean’ restaurant, “My Little Chamomile” in Georgetown, is serving up a long list of satisfying dishes perfect for the cool winter weather that the District has been experiencing lately.
Order the stuffed artichokes, lentil soup, and share with your friends or family a few of their starters for an excellent dining experience that is both cozy and fun.

A menu that pulls from “Coastal-Mediterranean” cuisine, you’ll find dishes that can be traced back to the likes of Spain, France, Italy, or even Greece, whenever you dine at Casamara – located in the SIXTY DC Hotel in the Dupont Circle area.
There are so many excellent things on the menu that you could close your eyes and choose at random and still be served a satisfying meal, but if you aren’t willing to put things up to chance, we recommend any of their handmade pasta dishes or their seafood, but like we said, there’s no going wrong if you opt for the lamb skewers, roast chicken, or even one of their vegetable dishes!
