Set in the Waldorf Astoria Washington DC, The Bazaar is the culmination of a 30-year dream for Chef José Andrés. Drawing inspiration from this iconic location, which first opened in 1899 and served as DC’s General Post Office until 1914, The Bazaar is a multi-level destination reinvented with avant-garde and Americana-inspired decor.

    Lovely food. Choice of a la carte ordering or tasting menus per Chef Andres. Excellent service with a smile. Well run outfit. Aesthetic presentation of goods needs work in order to be a top end restaurant. But overall outstanding!

    I was surprised the mussels were presented in a tin can cold making it feel like I just opened a can though they tasted good. Also Post write of the Waldorf endive salad made it a must try. I prefer a more normal Waldorf. She crab soup was outstanding. After tasting my companion's I had to order one for myself. Seating was open to beautiful hotel lobby. There was nothing about the decor that gave an hint of a bazaar, more like more hotel lobby. Bread had to be ordered separately. I prefer Zatanya and Jaleo.

    Service and food were excellent! We had several small plates and every bite was amazing. Favorites were the pollo al ajillo, the mussels, and the Brussels sprouts. Service was incredibly attentive and helpful with recommendations. Would highly recommend!

    Wonder small plate experience. Some plates were very small. The onion soup was extremely small, but definitely delicious. All kinds of food. All worth trying. Tables were not crowded together and seasonal ambiance was warm and eye catching. The waitress was very helpful and the sommelier was very down to earth. As a foot note, we were delayed due to Metro problem, but they were very understanding and got us seated within 5 minutes of arriving. This was our 2nd time there and we'll be back.

    We had set menu 1. Delicious food. However I found desert part weak. It is not nice to force people to spend more on top of a pre-set menu. They only serve cookies, which ridiculous at the end of a great dinner. They also need to expand their wine list. Food and drink service time was also not synchronized.

    A tapas experience. You can order from two tasting menus or a la carte. Whichever you choose it will be a delightful experience. Each dish is so composed that it is excellent in ingredients and size. The 2 tasting menus are 12 courses each arranged in groups according to types. If you have food allergies or extreme dislikes, the server will take note and the chef will adjust or substitute to make sure your dining experience is one of joy. The wine list is carefully curated and a bit on the rather expensive side. You can order by the glass or by the bottle and wine flights are available with the tasting menus. Jose Andres has done it again!
