Favorite Restaurants
So the whole point of my restaurant adventure posts was that I don't have favorite restaurants and prefer to try new places. Of course, that's not totally true, everyone has that fall back place they love to hit up. Here are a few of my favorites. Most of them make the list due to their value. I likely won't be returning to five star restaurants again and again (or anytime other than during restaurant week).La Madeleine
I prefer the Bethesda location, but I more often find myself hungry and looking something cheap and delicious in Georgetown. La Madeleine always fits the bill. The tomato basil soup is so good. I usually eat it with a quiche.
Zorba's
Greek and delicious. The blue and white exterior should be enough to draw you in! They have raised their prices, but since you get the food yourself and don't have to tip, I still consider it a good deal! And Dupont is a great location for an after work dinner with friends.
Amsterdam Falafelshop
Best. Falafel. Ever. And cheap too. I'd go more often, but Adams Morgan is kind of a pain to get to.
Pizza Mart
I mean, the pizza is huge and greasy. What more could you want for about $3? Again, though, I just don't go to Adam's Morgan, or find that need to eat pizza bigger than my head, that often.
Kabuki Sushi
This place is in the Union Station food court. I know others, who shall remain nameless, who swear by this place. I've actually only eaten there once, but it was quite good (and cheap). Definitely the best thing in the Union Station food court (until they opened Taco Bell!).
Chef Geoff's
Can't beat the $5 burgers during happy hour (except now they are $5.95...boo inflation!).
Ben's Chili Bowl
Actually, the food is not that good, but you have to eat there at least once just for the history.
Sichuan Pavilion
I mentioned this in my restaurant adventures posts, but I'm adding it to my favorite places, too. It's that good. And I've already been there several times--and planning to go back again soon. It's not dirt cheap, but the atmosphere is nicer than a lot of Chinese places.
Jaleo
This is definitely the 'more expensive' place that I keep going back to. It's just really good. And I love tapas.
Hopefully, this will be my last post about food for a while. At least until I go back to China...then I'll start waxing poetic about eggplant, I'm sure.
