The Best Lunch Spots In DC - Washington DC - The Infatuation

"Yes, this place is expensive, but the ambiance is worth the price tag. $21 might sound steep for a tuna melt, but it seems like a bargain when every single component comes together to make a sandwich so good it somehow makes you feel like a better person, spiritually, for eating it. Easily one of the most beautiful restaurants in DC, it can take weeks to score a dinner reservation, but getting a daytime table is a much easier proposition. Another plus to earlier dining: Nancy Silverton’s legendary pizzas are only available for lunch. The potato pizza—a humble combination of shaved potatoes, pecorino, and rosemary—shows that in the hands of the right chef, sometimes less is more." - allison robicelli, madeline weinfield
