DC Patios Worth Checking Out
Whether you’re looking to drink and dine with friends or impress on date night, these new DC patios are worth checking out. From a brewery to the waterfront, these patios offer cozy spots to sip a frozen pina colada and indulge in some delicious food.
Feel like you’ve landed on the Champs Elysees at this luxe French bistro, whose gilded mirrors and lamp-lit patio are ideal for a romantic dinner. Dine on classic French dishes such as onion soup gratinee or escargots.
Fig & Olive
If the beige-toned and sky-lit interior of Highly Likely doesn’t feel sexy enough, head to the Highland Park patio for a glass of wine or fig negroni. Tall plants frame the space, which is dotted with bistro tables for ladies-who-lunch vibes.
This international chain’s massive location is a great place to stop for lunch between boutique shopping, where light streams into the big dining room and the only sound is silverware clinking and soft chatter.
The menu here includes small plates like crostini topped with goat cheese or burrata, antipasti and carpaccios. Seafood, poultry and meats are also served. The cocktails and desserts are worth checking out, too.
Opaline Bar & Brasserie
Located inside CityCenterDC, this expansive eatery brings a beachy vibe to the heart of the DC business district. Time-honored seafood dishes like clam chowder and stuffed clams are served alongside original creations such as rockfish tartare topped with Worcestershire mayo, pickled mustard seeds, and fried capers.
The Opaline Bar & Brasserie offers a unique setting steps away from the White House, with a vibrant upscale bar, restaurant and terrace that is sure to impress. Diners can enjoy savory and refreshing foods, as well as drinks inspired by France and carefully interpreted by the restaurant.
This stylish 14th Street spot is a must for foodies in the Shaw neighborhood. Sample the Chef’s Choice of curated culinary dishes, or order signature Cuban favorites like guava and cheese pastelitos.
Osteria Morini
In a glass-walled room overlooking the Capitol Riverfront, Osteria Morini serves dishes rooted in Northern Italy and Sicily. Chef Michael White’s menu, which celebrates the regional specialties of Emilia-Romagna, is worth a visit. Try the bucatini with sea urchin, sweet crab and a hit of heat.
A sibling to Osteria Morini in Navy Yard offers acclaimed seafood from Fabio Trabocchi. Sit on the patio and enjoy antipasti, pasta, and locally sourced oysters for lunch or dinner.
The neighborhood’s culinary scene is flourishing, with Southern-leaning Milk & Honey, next-door tavern Makers Union, barbecue pad Mason’s Lobster, and Greek showpiece Limani all opening in recent years. The area is also home to several D.C.-born chains worth a stop, including Colada Shop and Toastique.
Le Diplomate
Located in the dynamic 14th Street corridor, Le Diplomate has become one of DC’s most popular restaurants. It has a distinct Parisian vibe that makes it feel like a different world from the hustle and bustle of Logan Circle.
The 260 seat restaurant pays sincere homage to French cafe culture with classic dishes including onion soup gratinee, steak frites, and escargot. A thoughtfully curated wine list and specialty cocktails complete the transporting experience.
The cozy patio is open year-round, and the outdoor dining space is outfitted with heat lamps and blankets. Additionally, the restaurant now offers two warm cocktails that are perfect for a chilly evening.
Maketto
Maketto, the hyper-curated menswear/restaurant/coffee bar from Durkl designer Will Sharp and Toki Underground chef Erik Bruner-Yang, feels like a tiny corner of Tokyo dropped onto H Street. Shop for man bracelets and hipster sneakers (including a collection of Raf Simons-designed gold Stan Smiths) while you sip a latte and munch on steamed pork bao or gnocchi.
Bruner-Yang is a master at punching up comfort food. He does it with ramen, making the noodles chewier and more flavorful with pickled ginger, soy sauce-braised pork, and black garlic-ash oil. He does the same with fried whole fish (usually porgy or dorade) and his Cambodian sandwich, which is piled high with grilled pork shoulder, chicken liver pate, and pickled daikon on a baguette.
