Celebrate Bastille Day: While the very American Fourth of July tends to take top billing, several spots around Washington, D.C. will also celebrate France’s independence day (July 14th) with all-day parties. We have our eye on the always-entertaining brunch at Bistro Cacao followed by the French Embassy party, which features more than a dozen French-style restaurants from D.C. with small bites to sample. Looking for more great French dining? We got you.
Support Black-Owned Businesses:Black Restaurant Week is back and this is your chance to support the city’s many Black-owned restaurants, food trucks, and dessert shops. Book your table from July 13-27 and take advantage of deals offered at places like Hedzole, Oohs & Ahhs, and Suga & Spice.
Pizzeria Pop-Up: Chef Antonio is serving pizza pies at Fiola based on a traditional Neapolitan approach. They range from the traditional, like margherita, to playful takes on regional favorites like a Roman-style artichoke pizza. The pies are available on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at the bar, with reservations available only on Resy.
