Restaurant Week: Foodies favorite two weeks in the District

I have always loved DC restaurant week.  Maybe because it’s when I first felt my oldest move when I was pregnant with her (She got excited over watermelon gazpacho).

What is restaurant week you ask? It’s when restaurants all across DC provide a prefix menu for a set price for lunch and dinner, for one week during January and August every year. So it’s basically the best way to check out fancy restaurant and know exactly what you’re going to be paying at the end.  Lunch is the best bang for you buck though.

End of summer 2016 we took her then six-year-old with us for lunch to Rasika and introduced her to “fine dining”. She did really well and loved the date with mommy and daddy.

We always try and go on a date during restaurant week and try a new place.  We have made it tradition for almost a decade now!
