PP here...we are vegetarian so that's a factor.
Also, Zaytinya is good too! We need to go there more.

Two Amy's (at least 2x/month)
L'Auberge Chez Francois (not in DC I know)
Zaytinya

I think Rasika is a classic. Maybe Jaleo too?

Well it’s hard to pick three and this is gojng yo seems llle a really old fogey list but I might say something like:

Sfoglina
Jalen
Moon rabbit

Honorable mentions
Lapis
Oyamel
Chino Chicano
Rasika

I’ll also note my eating is concentrated downtown and I realize there’s a ton of great restaurants now in a big swath of the city that I don’t spend enough time in.

Give me your three favorite pleaces to eat in DC. Bonus points if you have different pics for dinners with friends with kids, for date nights, and with out-of-towners
