The Best Dishes Eater DC Editors Ate This Week: December 6 | Eater DC

"Recently re-opened in a new glass-covered bistro space, the restaurant pairs a large selection of malty Belgian beers and some surprisingly good non-mussels food—like a refreshing beet salad and crispy leek topped French onion soup—with huge cast iron skillets of mollusks. Like a personal-sized pizza, the 1.25-pound servings could be an entree if you’re extremely committed, but we ordered two skillets to share amongst four people (and we still struggled to eat every last mussel). The classic white wine flavor was good, but the Mediterranean version was an absolute hit at our table: “Merguez sausage, smoked tomato, and a heavy drizzle of harissa aioli lended a deep smoky flavor, balanced out with huge dollops of goat cheese.” The side of fries are a must, and courteous waiters kept bringing out endless supplies of warm crusty bread to dip in the salty broths. It was the perfect hearty meal for a cold rainy day. — Emily Venezky" - Eater Staff
