Best Lunch Restaurants in Old Town Alexandria

Delicious food - I had the duck! The cocktail was lovely - called sweater season. Bread and butter were yummy as was the crème brûlée! The service was friendly & ambiance was warm and romantic. Will return!

Yesterday, I had an amazing time at The Warehouse, reconnecting with friends I hadn’t seen in a while . The atmosphere and décor immediately stood out—iconic and deeply reflective of the DMV, while embracing the warmth of Southern culture. It felt like stepping into a true potluck gathering. The service was excellent; each server was assertive yet professional, ensuring everything was just right. I ordered a classic Sidecar cocktail, and it was perfectly made. Our table was filled with a variety of dishes—oysters, salad, brunch items, and creamy grits—all of which gave me a comforting sense of home. The Warehouse truly delivered an unforgettable experience.

One of my favorite places to eat in Alexandria. Brought friends in to eat brunch and we were not disappointed. The salmon BLT and our drinks were delicious!! Our waiter was funny and provided excellent customer service.

This was our first experience at Mia's. The food, service and atmosphere were all great! The $49 Christmas dinner option was excellent. I had the shrimp bruschetta, lobster ravioli and cranberry cheesecake. All were very tasty. My plates were wiped clean :) Brittney, our server, was wonderful and attentive. We will be back again for sure.

Landini is a fave of ours. The lower King Street location plus the old world ambience make it a charming experience. For the best bargain in Old Town go for lunch and order a $15 panini. Accompanied by a terrific side of potato salad plus an arugula salad - and preceded with bread and olive oil - you’ll leave neither hungry nor poor!
