Dupont Circle area provides the setting
for Russia House, a restaurant that pairs upscale Russian fare, such as caviar,
with traditional favorites such as chicken Kiev, and Russian perogis with
entrees commonly found elsewhere, such as crab cakes and veal. The restaurant’s
downstairs dining room is gorgeous and romantic with dark colors and beautiful
lighting, while the upstairs lounge is a great place to relax before and
after dinner or to spend the entire evening sipping cocktails or sampling
Russia House’s renowned vodka selections. The service here is professional
and friendly; the owners, accessible and welcoming.
Like any metropolitan city, Washington, D.C., has its fair share of French
restaurants offering a taste of Paris; however, if you’re looking to
experience unforgettable food in an intimate environment, look no further
than Bistrot Lepic. The small French eatery is a continuous favorite of Georgetown
and Glover Park residents with its warm décor, consisting of sunflower-colored
walls and the upstairs wine bar fitted in an Asian motif. Traditional French
favorites such as duck confit, country pate, Coquilles Saint-Jacques and
the restaurant’s hearty casserole are all wonderful.
