Métier

All the Stars in The MICHELIN Guide Washington, D.C. 2025

"A spare and sleek dining space may be best described as one part living room and two parts art gallery, and a window to the kitchen gives a taste of what is to come. The space is elegant, and the service echoes the sophistication with an attentive eye. Chef Eric Ziebold plies his "metier" in an ambitious tasting that pulls global flavors in inspired ways. A riff on cassoulet, for instance, unveils flageolet bean purée with a pork jowl croquette and Santa Barbara uni. The crowning flourish is a sorbet made from aji dulce peppers grown at the restaurant's garden in Virginia. A satin-smooth, double fermented chocolate ganache with toasted fennel-crème anglaise is as stunning as it is ingenious." - The MICHELIN Guide

"The prix fixe companion to Kinship offers a seven-course menu from Eric Ziebold for $175 per person before tax and tip. The one-star tasting room takes reservations and the meal changes by the day. Hors d’oeuvres and Champagne are served in the salon before dinner." - Emily Venezky

Kinship’s Owner Eric Ziebold Responds to Racist Allegations From a Former Employee - Eater DC

"Métier, a tasting-menu restaurant located one level below Kinship in Shaw, was opened in 2016 by Eric Ziebold and Célia Laurent. Like Kinship, it received a Michelin star shortly after opening. Métier has also been affected by the controversy involving racist allegations against Ziebold, which led to social media backlash and the temporary deactivation of their joint Instagram account." - Tierney Plumb
