We had so much fun on our recent trip to Washington DC. Of course, we enjoyed our meals at some of the places we chose to eat lunch or dinner at. So, I thought I would share my five favorite restaurants in Washington DC from our recent spring break trip!

Pastis DC

Pastis DC is a French restaurant located in the Union Market district at 1323 4th St. NE. They have a lot of yummy choices on their menu, and the wine selection is really good. I really enjoyed my Beef Stroganoff, and my daughter enjoyed her pasta dish. It was fun to eat in a quaint setting which felt French! Even if our entree choices were more European than specifically French. Loved it!

Old Ebbitt Grill

Old Ebbitt Grill is an historical restaurant located near the White House. It attracts politicians, locals and tourists alike. We even saw secret service there! I have no clue who they were there for, but it was fun seeing them securing the area. It’s no wonder it has been popular since 1856, the food is delicious! I enjoyed their famous crab cake, and my daughter loved her pasta dish. I can’t wait to go back someday! Old Ebbitt Grill is located at 675 15th St NW. I recommend making reservations as it gets really busy.

Sushi Sato

We love sushi, so of course we had to find a place! Located in a lively historic neighborhood, Sushi Sato had happy hour selections and an all you can eat menu. We ordered off the regular menu and loved our meal. Sushi Sato is located at 1245 H St NE. I recommend taking an Uber, parking is really hard.

Ted’s Bulletin

My daughter found Ted’s Bulletin and I am so glad! It was delicious! Ted’s Bulletin looks like a local chain with a few locations in Washington DC. We ate at the NOMA location at 1005 First St NE. Our food was so good! I would definitely return to enjoy a meal again. The Key Lime Pie was excellent. YUM! There is a parking garage nearby, but I do recommend taking an Uber.

Union Market DC

Union Market DC is a lively marketplace where we enjoyed a couple meals. We had a mixture of ramen, dumpling, crepes and coffee on our various trips to the market. There is a parking lot next to it, as well as free street parking. There is also a club on the roof, but we did not check it out. I highly recommend stopping by, it’s a fun atmosphere and the food was yummy and reasonably priced. The Union Market DC is across from Gallaudet University and located at 1309 5th st NE.

Well, that’s it! These were our five favorite restaurants in Washington DC. Hopefully I can return soon and enjoy them again!

Thanks for stopping by!
