Best Restaurants in the Georgia Avenue/Petworth/16th Street Heights area

[Anonymous]

I live in Brightwood and am looking for some good spots closer to home. Have explored upper Georgial/Takoma/Takoma Park/Silver Spring but looking for other joints in DC south of us but north of U Street. North of Columbia Heights Metro could work too. Willing to try the following, but what if any am I missing?

Red Derby
Highlands Cafe
Fusion
Moroni Brother's Pizza
Flip It Bakery and Deli
Qualia Coffee
Domku
Meridian Pint
Room 11
Red Rocks Pizza
The Hitching Post

I like RAS which is right by Fusion and Moroni Brother's (both of which I also like). RAS is Ethiopian/Jamaican and is very reasonably priced.

While I haven't been there, Chez Billy is near the Petworth Metro. It is a bit upscale and gets good reviews.

Also, almost next to Meridian Pint is the Kangaroo Bicycle Club (KBC) that is good. Friends have said good things about Maple which is also right around there.
