Washington DC is famous for a lot of things, not least of which is its delicious brunches served at some of the best restaurants in the nation! So if you’re traveling to Washington DC, I’m sure you’ll want to eat brunch while you’re there; the question is, where?
Well, here at Green Vacation Deals, we came up with our list of the best 20 brunches in Washington DC. We based this upon our own experiences as well as reviews at TripAdvisor.
- Kirwan’s Irish Pub: This is my personal favorite brunch in Washington DC. It is a great authentic Irish pub that’s located at the Wharf, and if you eat outside you can get beautiful views of the Potomac. If you are visiting Washington DC and you use the Big Bus for transportation & as a great tour, the Wharf is one of the stops so it is really convenient. I recommend the House-made Chicken and Waffles – they are so delicious, as you can see from the photo!
- Lafayette Restaurant: Another great location for brunch in Washington D.C. is The Lafayette. Located at the historic Hay-Adams (a wonderful choice for a hotel, by the way) it directly overlooks Lafayette Square and the White House. Being able to enjoy brunch at this upscale restaurant would definitely make any day special!
- Kingbird: If you’re looking to have brunch at a hotel with a famous name, then consider having brunch at the Kingbird at The Watergate Hotel (super convenient if you are staying at the Watergate Hotel!).
- Blue Duck Tavern: Another great restaurant located in a great hotel (in this, case the Park Hyatt), the Blue Duck Tavern serves American fare in their upscale Dupont Circle location – and you can get a great brunch here!
- Old Ebbitt Grill: The historic Old Ebbitt Grill offers a delicious brunch on Saturdays & Sundays from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM in a Victorian-style atmosphere. If you do the Big Bus, then you can get here via the White House South (Willard Hotel) stop on the Yellow Route.
