Things To Do
Le Diplomate
French cuisine, very Parisian atmosphere.
Cafe Milano
This restaurant is fancy (in our opinion) and is recommended for those hoping to see some celebrities or Washington elites while slurping down some delicious pasta.
Call Your Mother – Georgetown
This is one of our favorite quick-stop breakfast spots. They specialize in bagels, but also have great pastries and coffee.
Martin's Tavern
This is a historic restaurant in Georgetown with pretty good Euro-American cuisine. Pay attention to the booths inside as many have plaques noting where something important happened (i.e. JFK proposing to Jackie).
The Potter's House
This was our FAVORITE breakfast spot when we lived in Adams Morgan. The cafe which serves breakfast and lunch also doubles as a book store. Potter's house is a non-profit that works to feed the homeless community in DC. Customers are welcome to participate in a routine donation to cover the meals of a homeless person or can pay it forward at the register for a meal that day.
Al Volo Osteria
Italian restaurants are a controversial topic in DC, but we tend to agree that Al Volo Osteria is the best we've had so far. Caruso's Grocery and Il Canale are two additional Italian restaurants that are often recommended by DC foodies and are still good options (but slightly more expensive and over-hyped).
Hank's Oyster Bar
Definitely recommend stopping for seafood while in DC! Hanks and The Salt Line in Navy Yard are two popular spots for seafood and riverfront views.
Good Company Doughnuts & Cafe
Best doughnuts in Northern Virginia!
Lupo Verde
Another great Italian restaurant! This restaurant is perfect for a date night and is a little more pricey. We recommend sitting on the patio if the weather is nice (this is where Hunter and Danielle went right after Hunter proposed). Want something more laid back? Try their pizzeria right next door!
Jack Rose Dining Saloon
This is for whiskey lovers! Check out the cozy bar and restaurant that has thousands of bottles of whiskey in stock. The perfect place for a night cap!
The Green Zone
This bar is named after the international zone in Baghdad and is a way to denote that that this is a safe space for people to be themselves. The bar is known for combining modern craft cocktails and mixology with the flavors of the Middle East. You will need a reservation for this spot!
