The Continent DC

West African restaurant · Downtown

@infatuation

"DC doesn’t have as many West African restaurants as you might expect for a place dubbed “Chocolate City” and known for its cultural diversity. But The Continent has stepped in to fill the gaps. It’s a beautiful space, and the kind of place you’d bring a date you’re hoping to impress or a big group of friends who want to dress up. The menu itself is equally impressive, which is especially thanks to a heavy-handed use of seasonings. Get the wings slathered in a spicy, sweet chili sauce, and the fried red snapper served with chimichurri and a subtly sweet red pepper sauce. And when it comes time to choose a side, we recommend the plantains." - omnia saed, tristiana hinton
