Ramen Noodle like you've never had before! This Taiwanese hole in the wall is one of the top 100 best restaurants in DC. Call ahead and order takeout for less than $15 a person - it will be ready in 20 minutes or less! They specialize in thick pork bone broths with homemade noodles. Be forewarned, the wait can be up to 2 hours on the weekends, but since you live here, you can walk there, get on the wait list, and wait for them to call you in the comfort of your home!

This is the best Indian food we've ever had. It has an amazing atmosphere: people write compliments on the walls, they play Bollywood movies and lively Indian music, and the owners really love their customers. The food is from Punjab, colorful, and full of flavor, and got high marks from Michelin. The $12 Butter Chicken is the best!

Make sure you go here at least once during your stay. This is an unbelievable indoor foodie market. Part grocery stands, restaurant stands. everything from milk products and ice cream from Amish farms, to fresh bakery bread, fresh seafood, free-range meats, artisan cheeses, homemade soups, to cocktails and scrumptious brunch and lunch foods.
Some of our favorites are Neopol Savory Smokery (smoked salmon sandwiches, unbelievable whitefish salad., etc), TaKorean (yummy Mexican/Korean fusion), Panorama Bakery (authentic French pastries) and Peregrine Espresso (artisan coffee). There's also a place for kids to run around outside when it's nice out. It gets pretty crowded on the weekends.

This place serves local, seasonal American fare. Often frequented by the Who's Who of Washington, the menu changes often and everything's delicious. The chef especially has a talent for preparing seasonal vegetables and hand cut french fries! It's great for a delicious late night dessert or cocktail. It is a little pricier at $20+ a plate, but worth it.

The name is misleading...this is the best Chinese restaurant in DC! Legend has it, it was constructed for a group of Chinese government officials visiting Washington and requiring non-Americanized Chinese food.

We are blessed in this neighborhood with some wonderful food! The owner is Mexican and this place is the real deal. Try Mexican specialties like tacos "Al Pastor" (pork, pineapple & cilantro), "Lengua" tacos (cow tongue - sounds gross but it tastes like tender beef), or my favorite, the best fish tacos I've ever had. They also sell burritos that are very similar to Chipotle's. The menu is huge, the portions are huge, and you can get huge margaritas too!

Famous Chef Jose Andres cooks up some of the very best Mediterranean food in DC. The flavors are a fusion from Turkey, Greece and Lebanon, and everything is served in small portions to share. It's one of the very few places I've been where absolutely everything on the menu is to die for. Plates are $6-$15 a piece, with 3-4 plates constituting a meal for 1 person.

This little French restaurant is reasonably priced, beautiful, and the owners are so hospitable. They serve traditional French comfort foods, nothing too fancy or expensive, the kind Blaise and I ate as children growing up in France. They're from the part of France where crepes are from, so they have a special section on the menu for savory and dessert crepes (they call them "galettes"). Savory galettes run about $10, entrees are around $20. It's not the best place to bring children since it's a quiet, romantic atmosphere. They also serve some of the most tasty desserts on H Street.

This place was voted DC's Best Pies 7 years in a row. They sell pie whole or by the slice. My favorites are sour cherry and strawberry rhubarb, and their most popular flavor is the "Baltimore Bomb".

Slices are $6.50 to $7.50 a piece.
