10 Best Dupont Circle Restaurants in Washington DC
Dupont Circle is perhaps one of the best known, or at least most recognizable Washington DC neighborhoods. At the center of the neighborhood is the iconic Dupont Circle fountain, which is a great place to sit and enjoy some people watching. Though the chance to eat at Dupont Circle restaurants is enough of a reason to visit this Washington DC neighborhood, it’s also home to some of the city’s bests bars, coffee shops, bookstores, and eclectic shopping – most of which are found along Connecticut Avenue.
Some of the top Washington DC restaurants are found in Dupont Circle, many of which are within easy walking distance of our Washington DC Bed and Breakfast. Dupont Circle restaurants make great stops for business travelers in town looking for a quick lunch or dinner and even a place to host a work-related happy hour. You’re just as likely to spot locals enjoying dining out at the city’s top tables as you are to find tourists soaking up local flavors.
With a diverse range of exceptional restaurants, it’s pretty hard to go wrong dining out in this area. As you start planning your upcoming getaways to our Bed and Breakfast, here are some of the best Dupont Circle restaurants to consider for 2022:
- There are few things better than slurping down a salty, briny, ocean-fresh oyster on a hot summer’s day, and the best place to do that is Hanks Oyster Bar. The lobster roll here is just as delicious.
- We’ll never pass up the opportunity to dine at a bookstore, especially one as famous as Kramers (formerly Kramberbooks). Their 26-seat bar features a great menu with 18 beers on tap, wine and cocktails, and plenty of yummy bar snacks to go along with it.
- We mentioned that Dupont Circle itself (at the fountain) is a great place to people watch, but now you can do it with a drink in hand at Doyle Bar. It’s a swanky mid-century-chic bar that offers excellent views of Dupont Circle, great cocktails, and plenty of food to nibble on.
- Ask anyone in Washington DC where to get the best sushi, and Sushi Taro will inevitably be mentioned. Belly up to the Omakase-style counter at this Michelin-starred restaurant and let the inventive tasting experience transport your tastebuds.
- There aren’t many places where you can enjoy a delicious meal accompanied by rare Palestinian wines – but you’ll find it at Ala. This gem features Lebanese, Syrian, and Israeli (Levantine) cuisine and has been featured in the Michelin Guide.
- If a taste of France is what you’re after, you can’t go wrong with a meal at Bistrot du Coin. The ambiance is quirky and fun, and on the menu, you’ll find well-executed French favorites like Moules Frites and Escargot.
- If you’d rather indulge in some Italian fare for the evening, 35-year-old Le Tomate Bistro won’t disappoint. The ingredients are fresh and straightforward, just like the very best Italian cuisine.
- Tapas, Happy Hour, and Sangria – these three things make tastebuds sing, and you’ll find it all at Boqueriqa – one of the best Dupont Circle restaurants. If you think this place looks familiar, you may have seen it in New York, Chicago, or even Nashville.
- If you’re in the mood for a good burger, don’t miss the chance to nosh on the Proper Burger at Duke’s Grocery. It’s often called the best burger in DC.
- Iron Gate is one of the best Dupont Circle restaurants to enjoy a classic, delicious, and romantic evening out. In particular, their enclosed garden is an absolutely delightful place to enjoy your meal during the summer months.
