"Attributed as the oldest continually running hotel in Washington, the Tabard Inn opened up in 1922. The charming spot near Dupont Circle with a covered garden patio is now led by executive chef Matthew Zafrir, a fine dining vet who honors his Maryland roots with include crab fritters, local oysters doused in homemade hot sauce, and duck confit atop Carolina gold rice. Don’t miss the homemade doughnuts during brunch." - Tierney Plumb
