Eqvita, Monte Carlo, Monaco

Unless you want to drop four-figures on Louis XV, there’s one other “logical” dining choice in Monte Carlo, and that is Café de Paris: the venerable brasserie that’s right across the courtyard from Louis XV – Café de Paris is where (so the legend … Continue reading

A Vegetarian in King’s Dominion, Implied Asterisk

La mujer que llora (Pablo Picasso, 1937) Happy Monday, an entire week spent prepping for the ordeal, forsaking all animal proteins save dairy (I’d give up meat before I gave up dairy), starting with back-to-back-to-back Indian at Masala Art, Indian Ocean, … Continue reading

Maoz Vegetarian, Downtown

The DC area has seen more than its share of kind-of, sort-of fast food restaurants crop up over the past couple of years, and Maoz Vegetarian is one of the gang. The formula here is extremely simple: walk up to … Continue reading

PS7’s, Verizon Center

(See the December 9, 2010 Review here.) Every time I’m at PS7’s lounge, I tend toward the flatbreads and sandwiches; this time, I forced myself to go “main course,” just to see what this crew is up to. Gina Chersevani … Continue reading

Wu’s Garden, Vienna, VA

I’d been very curious about David Chang’s praise of Wu’s Garden since I read this piece over a year ago. I think I’d been here once before, and had no special memories of the restaurant. I ordered a dish Chang raved … Continue reading

X.O. Taste, Seven Corners, VA

X.O. Taste was very overrated by restaurant critics when it first opened, and now that it’s no longer owned by Full Kee (the Bailey’s Crossroads Full Kee), it’s somewhat overlooked because it’s not all that bad. Plus it’s useful, because … Continue reading

Old Cairo, Burke, VA

Old Cairo is the only Egyptian restaurant I know of in the area (and I say “Egyptian” with a grain of salt because it has only one indigenous Egyptian dish). Located next to the Wal-Mart (unless you live in Burke, … Continue reading

Mezè, Adams Morgan

Tuesday nights are your night to dine at Mezè – bottles of wine are half-price.  You will not go wrong with a peppy little bottle of 2009 Angora Sultana de Denzili ($16 on Tuesdays, normally $32). The sultana grape is … Continue reading

Yola, Dupont Circle

Yola just opened a few days ago, and is, in theory, the latest yogurt (*) entry in an already over-saturated market. But, although I didn’t have any yogurt, this one might have some legs. (*) Ah, but it’s not frozen … Continue reading

Yuraku, Germantown, MD

Sun “Sonny” Lee opened Yuraku in 1997, and believe it or not, it’s a sibling of a restaurant in Flushing, Queens (we have a bizarro connection here with MoCA Asian Bistro in South Riding, VA). I’m generally not keen on … Continue reading
