"“Table bread” can also refer to Caribbean pineapple cornbread, and Nue is Exhibit A. Sweet, sticky, and topped with an exorbitant amount of toasted coconut, it’s like kicking dinner off with a dessert. Approved." - Aimee Rizzo
"The cheerfully miscellaneous menu at Nue corresponds to the snug Capitol Hill restaurant’s globe-trotting theme, with spicy Chengdu-style chicken and waffles living peacefully alongside exceptional shakshuka and a pungent and savory Burmese fermented tea leaf salad that’s a textural marvel of soft, crunchy, and crispy. The South African hunny bunny is the iconic dish here, and is basically a bread bowl doused in richly spiced curry and topped with an egg. Paired with a side like the tea leaf salad, it’s easily a meal for two. A relatively large chunk of the menu is available to vegans, vegetarians, and gluten-free folks." - Sophie Grossman
"At first glance, the architectural tower of wings from Nue looks similar to a tree in a (comically small) rainforest, with branches of double-dipped breading and basil ribbons strewn around like leaves. Green Szechuan peppercorns add a bunch of tingly heat, and a splash of fish sauce cools it all down." - kayla sager riley, aimee rizzo
"The cheerfully miscellaneous menu at Nue corresponds to the snug Capitol Hill restaurant’s globe-trotting theme, with spicy Chengdu-style chicken and waffles living peacefully alongside exceptional shakshuka and a Burmese fermented tea leaf salad, all of which you can wash down with an espresso martini, the world-conquering cocktail. A relatively large chunk of the menu is available to vegans, vegetarians, and gluten-free folks." - Jade Yamazaki Stewart, Sophie Grossman, Eater Staff
"The Deal: $35 Brunch, $35 Lunch, $35 Dinner (Daily) Make a stop at this multinational cuisine-inspired Capitol Hill spot a priority—their $35 three-course menu features starters like Beirut-style hummus, or a Danish chicken and mushroom tart, followed by entree hits from their regular menu and a small shortbread or South African chocolate malva pudding. " - Kayla Sager Riley, Aimee Rizzo
