minibar by José Andrés

Contemporary · ★★ Michelin

$$$$

A single door, with a host to match, marks the entrance to this culinary laboratory that goes far beyond its tiny name. Dinner begins in the lounge with a fun, brainy cocktail before moving to the main room where guests settle in at a curved counter built around a stainless-steel workspace. Through a series of small bites and courses, whimsy and surprise are driving forces of inspiration. From chicharron with avocado to cauliflower with caviar, nothing is ever quite what it seems. The fun is carried through to the very end. A recent riff on mango sticky rice was a playful delight followed by t

Rania

Indian, Contemporary · ★ Michelin

$$$$

This fine dining concept seems fit for a queen, and good thing too, since Rania translates to "queen" in Hindi and Sanskrit. The team delivers something entirely enticing here with an inventive menu. There are plenty of contemporary touches along with a few surprises with dishes like chana masala panisse dressed with green garlic chutney, or hay-aged pork vindaloo featuring tender flavorful loin and a block of crispy skin belly accompanied by a rich bowlful of dal Kolhapuri, fluffy Kashmiri pulao and butter-brushed hot naan. Cocktails are designed to complement the rich, bold flavors.

Sushi Nakazawa Washington DC

Japanese, Sushi · ★ Michelin

$$$$

This second outpost of Chef Daisuke Nakazawa’s critically acclaimed sushi house is elegant and intimate with dark wood and gold accents. For the best seat, angle for one of the leather stools at the marble counter, where you can watch the itamae work their magic. The team works in a tidy fashion, their hands moving as adeptly as a surgeon along meticulously organized counters. Ingredients are sourced both locally and from abroad and each course is presented like a revelation—from Japanese sumi ika with shiso and pickled plum sauce to lightly torched kama toro with spicy daikon. It will take yo

The Dabney

American, Contemporary · ★ Michelin

$$$$

The Dabney exudes charming, contemporary farmhouse vibes with its exposed brick, light walls, and dark wood, and the look is completed by a slickly arranged open kitchen complete with a wood-fired hearth. Chef/owner Jeremiah Langhorne serves up the flavors of the Mid-Atlantic with a hint of a Southern accent and the tasting menu is a deeper, more committed expression of the team's talents. Begin with bite-sized snacks including their pie crust tart with pickled blueberries, granola crumble, and cheese fondue or their Madeira compressed melon. Then, hearth-roasted vegetables are served over a b

Causa

Peruvian, Latin American · ★ Michelin

$$$$

Chef Carlos Delgado delivers a taste of his birthplace in a dual concept space in Blagden Alley. Nestled on the first floor, Causa seats around 20 for a tasting menu that takes diners on a journey of flavors inspired by Nikkei cuisine, blending Japanese heritage with Peruvian ingredients and technique. It all begins in Lima with coastal seafood, then progresses into the Andes and the Amazon. Chicha morada kombucha, made from purple corn, is a perfect partner for the Peruvian classic and namesake dish, causa, with its mashed potatoes hit with aji amarillo paste, then topped with cucumber, avoca

Chef Ryan Ratino's ambitious counter is an experience like nothing else in the city. Sitting just above Bresca, the room is a constant hive of activity with sharp-suited servers gliding about and laser-focused chefs working in perfect tandem. From the cutlery to the cooking, expect beauty and boldness. Top-rate seafood and meat from Japan and beautiful sauces form the core of this menu. Think delicate tarts with wagyu tartare, Hokkaido uni topped with bluefin tuna, and Koshiibuki rice studded with Northern California Dungeness crab, maiitake mushroom and shaved Australian black truffle.

It is highly rare for a tasting menu to leave one feeling—well—energized, but so goes the imaginative cooking at this vegetable-focused gem where local farms are the very essence of this passionate operation. The imaginative compositions from Chef Rob Rubba and his team offer delicious insights into what is possible with vegetables. There is true creativity here, as in a pasta course which features agnolotti filled with a creamy eggplant and house-grown mushrooms, served brodo-style with a roasted corn broth and accompanied by a truffle tart. Even bread service is special—enriched with "garlee

With stone walls, seasonal arrangements and Warhol-esque prints, this DC powerhouse is equal parts retro glitz and country lodge. Before even crossing the threshold, diners are met by gracious servers. While they may rhapsodize about their favorite dishes, take your time to peruse the menu, complete with stunning creations and playful twists.Classic and modern elements come together in the regional Italian food, which is as likely to celebrate Roman inspiration as it is to represent Venetian flavors.
