Green Almond Pantry - Review - Georgetown - Washington DC - The Infatuation
"Among Georgetown’s hub of mass-produced faux nipple bras and perfume stores spilling clouds of Cashmeran into the cobblestone (looking at you, M Street), Green Almond Pantry offers a retreat. The small Mediterranean restaurant inside the Grace Street Collective food hall is only open until 3pm, making it an ideal spot for a quick lunch or a weekday business meeting. The chilled tomato and corn soup is a stunner, with sweet heirlooms and earthy EVOO, and the lamb kofte in pide is a hearty standby made with tender lamb medallions, tangy tomato-pepper relish, and flatbread with a chew-to-crunch ratio that could trigger ASMR. In a rush? There’s an open-air cooler with grab-and-go items perfect for picnicking on the river steps. Just know that “to go” means missing the quietude of the collective’s communal seating area and the very particular DC-style white noise of two middle-aged men comparing their security clearances." - Ashlee Green
