Boqueria - Penn Quarter
Boqueria - Penn Quarter

Spanish | Penn Quarter, District of Columbia

First visit for four of us. We enjoyed every dish we tried . With the medium paella, the four dishes were perfect for us. The portion sizes are large enough to share with several people while still being small plates. Expect it to be pretty noisy if you’re there when it’s very busy. Happily, we were able to carry on conversations pretty well on our Monday night visit since it wasn’t very crowded. Overall, it was a very nice experience. More

Discover Washington, D.C.

An international city with the food chops to show for it, Washington D.C. is brimming with new restaurants, coffee houses and spirited bars. And, while tablecloth dining has it’s place here (diplomats gotta eat), so does the casual yet delicious lunch spot (interns gotta eat, too). Near the Capitol, historic eateries and classic menus are favored by many. Excellent Filipino food can be found in Columbia Heights. Near Georgetown, upscale bistros and farm-to-table spots are the order of the day, and Adams Morgan is home to many international restaurants and locally owned cafes.
