Staying at Willard 3-20 to 22

We usually eat at Prime Rib and Bistro du Coin... where to go?

    If you like brunch, the Willard has one of the best (and most expensive) buffet brunches in the city.

      Tenphen. Really interesting "fusion" food -- starts with Asian ideas and mixes them around. You can walk a few blocks down Pennsylvania Avenue.

        Instead of Prime Rib, you can try BLT or Bourbon Steak, both highly rated steak houses (or Ray's if you're willing to venture to Arlington).

        Instead of Bistro du Coin, you can try Cafe du Parc or Montmartre, both well respected bistros. Other good bistros in town: La Chaumiere, Bistro Lepic, Bistro D'oc.

          Definitely considering switching Bistro du Coin for Bistro D'Oc, just a short walk a way. If you want good French with a fresher atmosphere, Cafe du Parc in the WIllard is lovely.

          Also consider Central and Brasserie Beck, both of which are fairly close and both of which are worth a visit.

          Do you want to stay near the hotel or are you willing to travel a little? Is there a specific cuisine you are looking for (obviously you like steak and french...anything else?)? Price-range? Particular vibe (trendy? classic? quiet? active bar scene?) The more info you provide the more we can help.
