The 19 Greatest Restaurants in Washington, D.C.
Washington, D.C. is a city rich with history and tradition — a trait that plays out in the city’s restaurants, many of which have been open for decades (or in some cases, a century!) and have played host to former presidents, foreign dignitaries, and a wealth of other impactful figures.

Discover Capitol Hill
Since Pierre L'Enfant decided to build the Congress House at the top of Jenkins Hill in 1791, the enormous Capitol Hill district of Washington, D.C., has grown to symbolize America to many citizens. However, this neighborhood houses a lot more than monuments and politicians. In between the old rowhouses and various parks, you'll find plenty of food options. You can start out by heading to brunch and ordering some buckwheat pancakes at one of the many early-morning spots. Capitol Hill also offers a number of barbecue joints for those looking to feast on tender meats. If you're a seafood lover, hit up a raw oyster bar or sushi restaurant. And of course, America's capital knows how to do a classic burger that even a president would love to sink their teeth into!
