My D.C Travel Guide- Places to Eat

Welcome to part two of my Washington D.C. travel guides. Today we are talking food, and you guys know how much I love food! Over the three years of living around D.C. I found some really great restaurants and places to eat in and around the city, and the great thing is that a fair few have branches throughout the area so you can find one near pretty much wherever you are in DC, Maryland, or Virginia. For exact locations make sure you check the map below.

For breakfast and brunch (brunch is a huge thing on Sunday's) Founding Farmers is a great place to go with friends or family. They serve great, wholesome, good quality food; my personal favourite Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes. If you fancy a trip out to the country then head to Salamander Resort and Spa (mentioned in the last travel guide HERE) restaurant Harrimans in Middleburg, Virginia. I have only ever been for breakfast before but they offer a great dinner menu also, of course, their Triple Stack Pancakes are incredible! One of our favourite spots in Georgetown to lunch at is Nick's Riverside Grill, right on the waterfront. This place has a sports bar feel and is a great place to come on game nights. For lunch though the Chicken Wings, Crispy Calamari, and Steamed Edamame with sweet chilli are all winners. Another great spot (or so I am told) on the DC waterfront is Sequoia, the restaurant is stunning and offers great views over the river and D.C. If you want to do brunch then head down there on a Sunday, it's known to be the best in town. Clyde's is a really fun place to go fro lunch, dinner, or even brunch. They have branches all over the D.C. area and they serve great 'American' food with a twist. From Burgers to Buffalo Chicken (my favourite) to Salad's there is something for everyone. If you want to grab a lunch and run then Cava is a favourite of mine. No kidding I miss this place so much. If you love Greek/Mediterranean then this 'fast food' place is for you. My go to is a Salad Bowl with Grilled Chicken, Humous, Tzatziki and Cauliflower Quinoa. YUM. So we have come to dinner time, a real favourite of mine is Eddie V's in Tysons Corner, Virginia. If you head on the Metro to do some shopping in the area then this is the place to stay for dinner; a favourite of mine is the Truffled Macaroni and Cheese. If you want the best steak you have ever tasted then head to The Capital Grill, there are three in the area. It is pricey but for a special occasion, it is totally worth it, like seriously THE BEST STEAK EVER! If you are a Mexican lover like me then you have to head to Don Lobo's Mexican Grill in Georgetown, they serve the best Nachos outside of Mexico in my opinion. Lastly Passion Fish has two locations around the city with one in Reston, VA and Bethesda, MD. This seafood restaurant serves everything from sushi to oysters and all with the freshest fish.

So are you ready to get eating, I know I feel hungry now! Love...
