The Best Places to Dine in Dupont Circle
"A family-run underground lounge landed in Dupont in 2023 with an assortment of delights like quail egg wontons, spicy crudo, fiery papaya salads, and spicy beef or pork skewers. Andy Thammasathiti of Baltimore’s Mayuree Thai Tavern whips up lychee Tom Collins and baijiu cocktails behind a glowing red bar. The 50-seat, subterranean space swings open at 4 p.m., with walk-ins welcome but reservations encouraged. Happy hour lasts till 6 p.m., with $7 wine, $6 beers, and $8 mystery cocktails that Thammasathiti either whips up on the spot or pulls from the Thai-influenced specialty cocktail menu." - Tierney Plumb, Emily Venezky
