Georgetown “Top DC Dining Destination” for 2023

Washingtonian released its What’s IN and OUT in DC Restaurant Trends for 2023, and The Wharf is out and Georgetown is in.

Eater DC also asked restaurant experts to name their favorite dining-out neighborhoods of 2022, and the common theme was DC’s oldest neighborhood. Washingtonian food editor Jessica Sidman said, “[Georgetown’s] got French hotspot Lutèce, Michael Rafidi’s recently opened Levantine cafe Yellow, and Green Almond Pantry, which serves the most gorgeously simple Mediterranean food. Two Nine, a Japanese cafe and omakase counter from the Ama Ami folks, is coming next year. And let’s not forget that Stephen Starr and Nancy Silverton are opening a splashy Italian market and restaurant there.” Angie Duran, Women of Wine co-founder, director of operations for Duo Group and at Bottles Wine Garden, echoed her sentiments. “Coming back to Georgetown has been fun. Lutèce is crushing it. Can’t wait for Reverie to reopen. I will never grow sick of Green Almond Pantry or Chez Billy Sud, plus L’Annexe, Apéro and The Fountain Inn are great neighbors to have. Happy to see Yellow and L’Avant-Garde open up this month too. You can easily stay in Georgetown now and just bounce around.”
