Lovely authentic Thai Asian fusion, this place has a huge menu and is good for both eating in and take out. Charming deck, lovely interior, great neighborhood staple.

This place is legendary in DC, having just a superb cozy atmosphere. They do steak frites better than anyone else in the city and have Delirium Tremens on tap. Like all restaurants in the heart of France the house wine is the best. And they serve hot fudge sundaes the size of your head for dessert. It’s a cab ride away but it’s a must go for anyone visiting.

Has a large dining room so anyone can get a table, and reminds me of eating in Rome, where every dish is delicious. Italian isn’t my favorite but this place is the right blend of Italian favorites and pasta dishes.
