Best European Restaurants in Washington

Everything was excellent. The appetizers, we got the mushrooms on a waffle and pork belly steamed buns, were a great start. The venison and sausage and the sea bass and mussels were beautifully plated as well as delicious. I had the beef stew and ponme frites, which was quite hardy. The chef was visiting with customers and staff, making the atmosphere relaxed. We loved our time at Belga Cafe.

Enjoyed our first visit and we’d like to go again someday. We concentrated on sausages this time and want to do schnitzel the next time. The sausages with red cabbage and “German mac and cheese” worked for us, though in hindsight might have substituted potatoes, and could have used a lot more mustard from the get go instead of needing to ask for it. Definitely would order more potato pancakes. House beer was excellent accompaniment.

Brunch at Murphys is always delicious! Service is always wonderful. And the price is right probably the cheapest brunch on King Street. One person had the seafood omelette, which was delicious! Another had the Irish country breakfast, which was absolutely delicious. Eggs were cooked to perfection. And our third person had waffles and bacon, and they were terrific too.

Excellent, neighborhood Italian, very reminiscent of local ristorante in Rome or New York. Very good service, great vibe and decor, strong wine list—an enjoyable spot for dinner.
