DC restaurant recommendation

Persian food is such a great choice, and finding a spot that really stands out makes it well worth adding to a DC itinerary.

Both of those are great.

Maydan is special. It just lost its Michelin star, but it's a fun, unique spot with tremendous food. The owner is hot as shite as well.

1789 is an old school fine dining spot in Georgetown. Makes you feel like you're brought back a few decades. Food is excellent.

The food scene in DC is incredible right now. I went to Albi the oher night - a Palestinian restaurant in Navy Yard that has a Michelin star. The NYT gave it four stars in a recent review, and it's the first time the NYT has given out anything more than three stars to a restaurant outside New York in decades. I will say, I really enjoyed it... however, I'm curious if politics may have been involved in such an outlier ranking by the NYT.

Moon Rabbit is a newish restaurant as well, located on the Wharf. The chef is Vietnamese but from Louisiana, and the cuisine blends the flavors of Vietnam and south Louisiana. Moon Rabbit was just ranked the No. 24 restaurant in North America in a recent publication.

The list of incredible restaurants here continues to grow. I'm doing my damnest to sample them all.
