The 38 Essential Restaurants Around D.C.

"Four years in, fine-dining vet Yuan Tang continues to seamlessly unite global cuisines across four-course seasonal tasting menus at his Michelin-rated mainstay on 14th Street NW. Options right now include a tzatziki salad with honeydew and Calabrian chili; foie gras-filled banh mi with Nueske’s bacon; “cacio-e-elote” with charred corn and queso fresco; and goat cheesecake. For a splurge-worthy add-on to the $95-per-person meal, go for Royal Ossetra caviar with creative fix-ins, brown butter steamed buns, and Champagne ($135). Tang’s local restaurant group grew last spring with the arrival of family-friendly Ellie Bird in Falls Church." - Tierney Plumb, Eater Staff
