Best Lunch Restaurants in Ashburn

"Lacquered interiors and comfy corners characterise this Downtown boutique hotel, named for a founding father of the USA – and its Petite Spa continues the theme. With cream-coloured, plump-cushioned treatment rooms and treatments using botanicals from founding father Thomas Jefferson’s own gardens, at Monticello in Virginia, no expense is spared. Touchscreen cardio bikes, treadmills and free weights are all raring to go in the mirrored fitness room."

Built in 1923 as a luxury residential building and fully renovated/reopened in 2009, this 5-star hotel has modern day conveniences added to the stately Beaux Arts structure. You’d be hard-pressed to find a more convenient location in town."

"The chocolate salty oat cookie at Teaism is an iconic sweet found downtown, but did you know there’s also a gluten-free option?. The Hempheart is made with bittersweet chocolate chips, dried cherries, almond flour, and cinnamon. View this post on Instagram"

"After a visit to the United States Botanic Garden, take a walk up Capitol Hill to We, The Pizza and watch the talented staff toss dough in the window. Kid-friendly Buffalo chicken pie — which is basically covered in chicken nuggets — and homemade sodas are the stars."

"If you’re looking a place for wood-fired pizza topped with seasonal, artisanal ingredients, then We, The Pizza is not the spot for you. On the other hand, if you want a place to go to for a quick lunch of thick crust pizza, topped with simple,..."

"The cooking might be composed of strapping plates of Russian and Uzbek fare, but to get the most out of a meal at this dandelion-yellow dining room, it helps to approach it as you would dim sum: Focus on the myriad dumplings and pastries that make up the front end of the menu. There are sesame-sprinkled, flaky pirozhki filled with silky potato purée and mushrooms; caviar-topped tarts filled with cream cheese; and samsa, thin turnovers filled with ground lamb. It’s easy to stuff yourself silly on just those, but it’d be a shame to ignore the Uzbek specialty plov, a heaping platter of gently spiced rice with hunks of lamb, or the old-school dessert tray—you’ll want to head straight for the cloud-like honey-nut cake."

"Russian and Uzbek dishes appear alongside each other at this neighborhood restaurant, which serves sharp vinaigrette salads, plump manti dumplings, and savory pastries such as samsa and pirozhki. The Uzbek section of the menu tends to edge out the Russian fare (including the country’s national dish, rice-based plov), but there are still solid examples of the latter including beef stroganoff and chicken Kiev. The restaurant infuses its own vodka, but a simple Moscow mule is a pleasure during a sunny day on the patio."

The restaurant’s atmosphere is family-friendly and people of all ages will be intrigued by the famous dinner guests of days past, including President Teddy Roosevelt, Alexander Hamilton and many more. The Hamilton is a recently opened restaurant near the White House designed to honor Alexander Hamilton."

"For a luxurious brunch in an ornate, breath-taking setting, nothing can compete with The Greenhouse. Set in the famous Jefferson Hotel, the bright, airy dining room is bathed in light from a large overhead glass skylight. The soft blue and grey décor, marble tabletops, and stunning tiled floor make this venue a dream come true for avid brunchers and Instagrammers alike."

"Former Top Chef finalist Marjorie Meek-Bradley has formed a dynamic team with restaurateur Stephen Starr (of Le Diplomate fame) to bring DC diners the finest grilled dishes at St. Anselm. This sleek, 7,000 square-foot hot spot can be found just across the street from bustling Union Market in the NoMa neighborhood. Start your meal off right with grilled oysters dressed in smoked herb butter or clams before choosing any number of grilled meats (think: ribeyes, flat irons, New York strips)."

"Chef Marjorie Meek-Bradley smashed the city’s stuffy steakhouse conventions with a menu at this Union Market tavern that gives vegetables equal billing. Her butter-packed biscuits with pimento cheese have become the stuff of legend, and a salmon collar practically melting under a butter-lemon bath has its own cult following. Ax-handle ribeyes and pork chops are priced by the ounce for communal feasts."

"Cinnamon roll monkey bread and the dry-aged burger may be this clubby restaurant’s biggest claims to fame for brunch, but the malted chocolate chip pancakes with bananas and whipped cream hold their own. And for those who define “pancake” more broadly, the restaurant also turns out a nice cheese blintz with berry preserves. View this post on Instagram"

"Chevy Chase, MDThe vibe: Established; slightly suburban (kids may drum chopsticks); innovative. Sushiko’s been slicing raw fish since the '70s, but that doesn’t mean the restaurant is without new tricks. In fact, its full of them, like this cherry-wood-smoked Tasmanian ocean trout tartare dotted with goat cheese.Best bet: The $90 chef’s tasting menu served at the sushi bar."

"Chevy Chase's Sushiko is a destination for Washingtonians and has landed on critics' top lists for years, thanks to its obsessive focus on fresh fish. The sushi here is beautifully plated, and the serene restaurant's art is just as colorful. One popular option here is the omakase, where a chef delivers premium sashimi cuts, nigiri, and extras like a sakura sundae."

"One of the most popular Japanese restaurants in Washington, D.C., Sushiko in Chevy Chase offers a daily happy hour, plenty of cooked dishes alongside great sushi, and an unusually ..."
