Spend $25 or Less at These 9 Michelin-Recommended Restaurants in D.C.
"How do you pay tribute to the classics while simultaneously bumping them up ever so much? Just ask the Purple Patch. This restaurant delivers note-perfect Filipino food with just the right amount of playfulness. Case in point? The adobo-radicchio wraps, which take the familiar flavors of chicken in adobo, top it with pickled papaya, then surround it with the crunch of radicchio. Pork sinigang is considered a typical (read staple) dish, but is truly worthy of exaltation. Here, tender chunks of pork are bathed in a lemon broth that is so generously sized it seems indecent, and with potatoes, vegetables and fluffy jasmine rice, it’s plain sinful. Even dessert is a thing of wonder. Purple yam ice cream? Who knew a tuber could be this magically delicious?" - The MICHELIN Guide
