Dessert??

[sxymamachula]

Going on a date with a "dessert addict" any suggestions?

Need places in the DC area...old school, new school etc.

Does anyone know if there is a place in the DC area that is akin to Vaccaro's? Closest I found was Kafe Leopold in Georgetown.

There is the obvious CoCo Sala. But a few other restaurants with great food and memorable desserts are Central, Cashion's Eat Place, and Bibianna (ummm fried Nutella!)

A recommendation also for Dolcezza in Dupont - amazing gelato. I love it. And they have great coffee, too.

I just had an amazing bread pudding at Brasserie Beck last night. I don't usually think of them first when I think of "dessert places", but there were a TON of interesting options on Saturday night, to include a few specials that sounded great. Other memorable desserts I've had off-hand have been the sticky toffee pudding at Againn (about a year ago, so not sure if they still have it), and I'm always a fan of Rays the Steaks chocolate mousse (they have white, dark and milk- milk is the best IMO, with a hint of caramel taste). As a bonus- the entrees are great at these places as well.

Agreed in all your recs, I had a great dessert at Brasserie Beck too, but it was something with chocolate in it, can't remember exactly what it was.

I also really like the Banofee pie at Againn, simple but good.

Ray's the Steaks also had great Key Lime pie.

I would also add in Palena and Central for great desserts.

CoCo Sala....hands down

Second this. We each order a small plate, then split the 3-course dessert and leave stuffed ... so good!

Have you been to their brunch? If not, go - it's SO good and for the amount of food you get, it's very reasonable for the pris fix. SO good - the s'mores french toast!...mmmm
