The Duchess

Best New Restaurants in Baltimore, According to Eater Editors | Eater DC

"From the recently rebranded Tony Foreman + Co. (Petit Louis, Cinghiale) comes the debut of The Duchess in Hampden. Originally conceived as an English pub, the beautiful decor of light wood and intricate moldings certainly lives up to that billing. However, chef and co-owner Kiko Fejarang developed a menu that leans on influences of her family’s native Guam and the Chamorro tradition. The result is a delightful mish-mash where, in one meal, you can enjoy expertly battered fish and chips paired with a crisp English lager alongside bright and flavorful tuna tartare with pickled ginger and wonton chips. Absolutely do not leave the building without ordering spam musubi — a superb salty, sesame, and seaweed-filled bite. Also open for brunch and early soccer (football?) games, The Duchess is a welcome addition to the neighborhood." - Jess Mayhugh
