"Chercher is the spot your (transplant) coworker is bragging about having just 'discovered' but as real ones know, Chercher's been the spot. Located on 9th and U St, Chercher is not an overrated cult classic, but a restaurant worthy of the hype and praise. Head to the second floor of the rowhouse and join the crowd awkwardly standing around the door waiting for a table because this restaurant doesn’t take reservations. That said, you should gladly cram in because the food here is that good. Their shiro, a chickpea stew, might be the best in the city and the vegan deluxe special comes with enough food to be shared with three people for only $20. " - omnia saed
