Neighborhood Guide: Where to Eat & Drink in Georgetown

Teresa Tobat | March 23, 2015 | Food & Drink The Latest

One of D.C.’s most historical neighborhoods—known for its cobblestone streets, waterfront views, and upscale shopping options—also houses some of city’s best dining spots. From coffee and macaroons to fine Mediterranean, here are our top picks for food-loving Washingtonians who are out and about in Georgetown.

The Classic Restaurant: 1789

8 - Neighborhood Guide: Where to Eat & Drink i…

Step back in time at this Georgetown institution, which opened in 1960 inside a former Federal-style house. Décor includes antiques and equestrian pieces, while food options lean towards re-invented classics (think beet Wellington, made with red beets, mushroom duxelles, puff pastry, roasted mushrooms, horseradish cream, quinoa, and beet bordelaise). An impressive wine list complements the top-notch cuisine. 1226 36th St. NW, 202-965-1789

The Great Steakhouse: Bourbon Steak

7 - Neighborhood Guide: Where to Eat & Drink i…

To enjoy an atmosphere of refined elegance complemented by juicy steaks, head to this Four Seasons eatery. The restaurant, helmed by James Beard award-winning chef Michael Mina, serves contemporary American cuisine crafted out of fresh, seasonal ingredients. Besides the great cuts, diners should look forward to noteworthy duck-fat fries, a selection of artisanal cheeses, and a slew of classic libations. 2800 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, 202-944-2026

The Romantic French Eatery: Marcel’s

6 - Neighborhood Guide: Where to Eat & Drink i…

Every great foodie neighborhood needs one fine French restaurant, and Georgetown’s is Marcel’s. This romantic spot features white table clothes and a bright, light-filled dining room—making it ideal for mid-afternoon power lunches and anniversary celebrations alike. Washingtonians can choose from four to seven-course prix fix menus. Can’t-miss items include the melting hot chocolate cake and the porcini mushroom soup. Don't forget to enjoy a bottle of red from the extensive wine menu. 2401 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, 202-296-1166

The Authentic Italian Joint: Fiola Mare

5 - Neighborhood Guide: Where to Eat & Drink i…

Guests enjoy sweeping waterfront views (and even a breeze if you choose to eat alfresco) and tasty Mediterranean-inspired fare. Expect picture-perfect seafood piled high on a plate. Other highlights include olive-oil poached cod, burrata of buffalo mozzarella, and lobster ravioli. 3050 K St. NW, Suite 101, 202-628-0065

The Hip Wine Bar: ENO

4 - Neighborhood Guide: Where to Eat & Drink i…

Couples flock to ENO for the romantic setting featuring exposed brick, soft lighting, and modern décor. In addition to the long list of wines available, patrons can enjoy a noteworthy food menu. On our must-order list? The pork meatballs served with coffee BBQ sauce and the decadent truffle mac and cheese. 2810 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, 202-295-2826

The Great Japanese Restaurant: Makoto

3 - Neighborhood Guide: Where to Eat & Drink i…

Since 1992, Makoto has been serving Washington, D.C. residents high-quality, authentic Japanese cuisine. Visitors should anticipate a small selection of fresh sushi in addition to classic Japanese fare like soba noodles, pan-fried yellowtail, and tempura soft shell crab. Boasting minimal décor (expect wooden tables and chairs and a small sushi bar), the focus is certainly all on the excellent food. 4822 MacArthur Blvd. NW, 202-298-6866

Trendiest Hot Spot: Unum

2 - Neighborhood Guide: Where to Eat & Drink i…

If you're searching for a truly special dining experience, this is where you'll want to do. Diners should look forward to inventive yet approachable American fare. Try the goat cheese raviolini, sesame crusted scallops, and, for dessert, the pumpkin panna cotta. For a really unique experience, opt to sit at the 12-seat bar. 2917 M St. NW, 202-621-6959

The Go-To Café: After Peacock Room

1 - Neighborhood Guide: Where to Eat & Drink i…

Cozy and intimate (think plush royal blue chairs, black tables accented by gold and soft lighting), the After Peacock Room is a great place to take a date or just swing by for a quick cappuccino. Consider ordering classic café fare, like potato and leek soup, wild rockfish, or a dessert specialty (we suggest the macaron ice cream sandwiches). A selection of tea, coffee, wine, and beer options completes the menu. 2622 P St. NW, 202-525-4903
