D.C.: Restaurants for lunch in Union Market area?

[Anonymous]

I'd appreciate your suggestions for lunch in the Union Market area. I'm thinking regular restaurants, not the food halls. I know Bidwell in the Union Market hall. There are some higher-end restaurants just open for dinner. St. Anselm I haven't tried but it's open for lunch a few days a week. Anything I should look at please let me know.

I haven't been, but El Presidente is open for lunch and I've heard it's good

What’re you looking for?

Pastis is fun! El Présidente is good. Stellina is more casual. My favorite is St Anselm for their brunch menu (not a fan of their dinner menu— too heavy).
