The Best Brunch Restaurants In DC - Washington DC - The Infatuation
"Nestled in the heart of the Wharf, Ilili serves Lebanese-inspired dishes in a stunning space with big windows overlooking the boardwalk. A meal here is animated but not overwhelming, which makes it ideal for an elegant birthday brunch in which you can actually hear whoever’s giving the toast. In addition to the shakshuka, we like the swiss chard benedict with dukkah and roasted butternut squash, and the smoked lamb belly topped with pickled thyme chimichurri and fresh lemon. For a sweet treat, get Grandma Marie’s Lebanese toast, which decadently blends the flavors of poached figs, ricotta labne whip, and Lebanese syrup." - mekita rivas, omnia saed, tristiana hinton
