The Best Restaurants In Georgetown (The Infatuation)

There’s a lot to do in Georgetown beyond giving directions to tourists. Might we suggest eating a meal at any of the restaurants on this guide? Here you'll find one of our favorite all-day cafes in the city, a neo-bistro perfect for date night, and a handful of time-honored classics. The best part? You won’t have to settle for a boring caesar salad next to someone gushing about how amazing the view is from the top of the Washington Monument at any of them.

Das Ethiopian

The city’s only fine-dining Ethiopian restaurant serves the best beef tibs you’ll find in DC alongside some spectacular people watching—both in the dining room and along M St. What’s fun about Das is that it combines the family nature of Ethiopian cuisine with crystal wine glasses and white linen tablecloths. You’ll see people dripping fresh, colorful shiro wat, lentils, and cabbage onto sequined dresses and designer shirts while trying to impress their partner’s parents. Thankfully, the food is so good that no one cares if things get a little messy.
