    One of many Jose Andres restaurants in DC (also in New York and Las Vegas) that’s always packed and bustling. We had the Chefs Tasting menu with multiple appetizers, mains and two desserts. Cocktails and wines (mostly Greek and Turkish) are excellent and affordable. The food is Mediterranean hits, like at Ottolenghi. Highly recommended . Also see the Zaytinya cookbook and Jose’s podcast Longer Tables. Please consider a donation to World Central Kitchen, a Noble pursuit of the Chef.
