Try the hot chocolate. Spicy. Authentic. To die for.
LOVE: colorful decor, energy; authentic Mexican dishes w/ an urban twist; attentiveness of staff. Try the tuna ceviche, chicken mole, mushroom taco, cochinita (pork) taco. Have jericalla for dessert!
Amazing authentic Mexican food. We loved everything about it from the drinks to the tacos!
The ramen is okay. If you're a hardcore ramen eater who eats authentic ramen, you might be disappointed.
First time having authentic ramen and it was delicious. I was even able to stomach nori and nitamago which I had never been able to before.
Great izakaya upstairs from the ramen restaurant. Really good authentic dishes as well as twists on classics.
Most authentic NY pizza I have had in DC. It's delicious. They also have EXCELLENT garlic knots - an impossible find in DC.
Wiseguy is one of the few places in D.C. to find authentic New York-style pizza. The restaurant also offers some New York standards like garlic knots and chicken rolls. Read more.
The best NY style pizza and garlic knots around!
Great and almist authentic spanish tapas
You don't often get authentic Spanish Tapas, but this place gets it just right. Get the pollo, chorizo, cauliflower. Avoid gambas al ajillo, sour and not enough garlic. Follow me on IG @simplysavor
This is the only 100% authentic Spanish place I've been to in DC. Their conejo en salmorejo tastes like the one my grandma makes at Christmas! The patatas bravas and the pulpo were great as well
Amazing and kind staff! They gave me each flavor to try before I could choose. Amazing icecream also. Very creamy and authentic.
Affogato is a must try, of course. Gelato + espresso
A pretty wide selection of stumptown coffee products available at this location. Best seating of any dolcezza in town.
Quite authentic gelatri - go for some classics like hazelnut or pistachio. And they make a beautiful cappucino
Amazing and authentic gelato. Lots of flavors
Their flavors change all the time, so you can always try something new! Try mixing flavors for a new twist - for example, Black Tea and Vanilla.
I didn’t like the way they serve the food, and it is not authentic middle eastern
Authentic middle eastern food.
Denson's offers top-notch prohibition cocktails and (surprisingly) an authentic cuban panini. Best for small groups as even the back room only accommodates 8. Excellent service!
Great hidden gem in the heart of DCs Chinatown. Cleverly named, spirit forward, cocktails and flavorful grilled cheese. Definitely a must visit
Perfect for a late night and some great craft cocktails. Very cozy and hip.
Great food.. Super quick! Authentic greasy spoon place.. Awesome!
Great authentic diner with good food and coffee and great prices. Lots of locals here during the week for breakfast.
Sure, it's a tourist trap. But it's also one of the few authentic old-school dining experiences left in downtown.
Despite the slow service, the food is authentic. Good Picanha, rice and beans... the Polenta was also special. Try also the Fraldinha steak.
unlimited salad bar, great meat options, tasty! we already miss it. worths every penny
Don't pig out on the Salad bar...!
Has an authentic DC vibe with tourists, locals, and politicians. A list of the news headlines of the day came with the receipt.
Authentic American bar feel, excellent shrimp and cocktails but terrible pasta (swimming in oil on our visit)
The peel & eat Shrimp 🍤 simply the best starters 👌 Don't forget try the salmon another great dish.
D.C.’s elite, from CNN’s Wolf Blitzer to Virginia Senator Mark Warner, flock to this classic Indian restaurant for authentic northern Indian cuisine. Ask the server for guidance, and share everything.
Must try Ginger limenade & crispy spinach appetizer. Great presentation on tasteful chicken biryani.
Best Indian food in DC, Chef Vikram is amazing as well as owner Ashok Bajaj. Sexiest restaurant also. -Tamesha Warren, Top Chef
Definitely try the cheesesteak egg rolls... So good!! Also the lobster bisque is delicious
Great upstairs bar, VERY awesome waitstaff and bartenders!! Will return!
Great for a working lunch. The service is excellent. Must try the lobster bisque and lobster roll - some of the best I've had outside of New England.
Try Chupe de camarón, with Pacific wild shrimp, fresh cheese, choclo, rice, potato, and poached egg & Pulpo al olivo rosita yimura and botija olive-mayo, plus avocado
I’ve yet to meet a dumpling here I haven’t liked. Get the trio of juicy lamb pot stickers hiding beneath a lacy cover fried to a golden crisp. - Sietsema Read more.
The desserts look better than they taste.
If you couldn't find the La Colombe in the alley, this is a more friendly, front and center setting. Amazing coffee of course! Cortados ask for one dark roast and one light roast espresso.
If it's warm out, try the Pure Black and Tan combination of the Draft cold-pressed coffee & milk and their Pure Black.
I love this coffee
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
