Situated on Washington Harbour, this restaurant boasts a palatial, beautifully decorated interior. The view of the Potomac River is gorgeous. The restaurant serves New American cuisine with innovative dishes prepared with local ingredients. Burgers, salads and sandwiches round out the menu. Sunday brunch is popular especially in the summer when the outdoor patio is open. The ground floor of the restaurant is a bar, and in the summer months, the outside tables are packed with business people looking to relax after a long day at work.
Cafe Atlantico
405 8th St NW
Washington, DC
Start the evening with an exotic cocktail at this popular Latin American restaurant. Perhaps try the caipirinha, a fruity daiquiri-like drink or the mojito, a refreshing blend of mint, lime and rum that packs a punch. The food is equally as interesting. Appetizers with fresh shellfish—shrimp, mussels or oysters—are laced with citrus and spice. Fish and meat entrees are also enhanced with tropical flair. The menu changes frequently with the season.

In a nod to the health conscious, Georgia Brown's also offers vegetarian versions of the meat-filled entrees. For a special treat, stop in for Sunday brunch, which features live swing jazz and a generous fixed-price menu.

Sassy and full of energy, this Brazilian restaurant in hip Adams-Morgan serves authentic dishes with flair in a funky environment complete with plastic palm trees.
Start off with a fruity batida cocktail or perhaps an eye-opening caipirinha. Grilled fresh fish and creamy coconut and seafood stews bring a taste of the tropics. Chicken and beef dishes are marinated in flavorful seasonings and grilled. The national dish—feijoada; a sausage and black bean stew—is the house specialty.

1335 Wisconsin Ave Northwest
(near O St Northwest)

Washington, DC

Some might even swear that the bar is in fact owned by Georgetown University (it is not). Sit at one of the sturdy wooden booths and munch on basic American fare—burgers and chicken sandwiches— or come have a drink at the bar.
Ireland's Four Provinces
3412 Connecticut Ave NW
Washington, DC
Lively and spirited, this pub has been a Washington favorite for years. Of course, its location—next to the fabled Cineplex Odeon Uptown—certainly has not hurt business.

A better-than-average (for a bar) menu and the 11 beers on tap -- including local favorite Foggy Bottom Ale and imports like Bass and Killian's -- help lure bargoers in as well. The all-American menu of burgers, sandwiches and steaks is good, if not too inventive. But, who really wants to mix sports with experimental cuisine?
