Where to find dosas, natural wines, luxurious meats, and more Eater writers and editors always get the same question. Friends, family, acquaintances, and randos all want to know, “Where should I eat ri
ght now?” That’s where the Eater Heatmap enters the conversation, pointing diners toward the most intriguing or otherwise buzzworthy new restaurants in the D.C. area. This list considers restaurants that have been open for six months or less. For the hottest new bars in D.C., go here. And for our map of the region’s 38 essential restaurants, go here.
New to the list: Fraiche, for Cajun cooking in Columbia Heights from a YouTube chef; La Betty, for funky snacks and vinyl tracks in Mt. Vernon Triangle; and My Little Chamomile, for a dreamy Mediterranean dinner in a Georgetown alleyway.
For the latest April refresh, we say goodbye to Wye Oak Tavern, Silver and Sons, Rosedale, Shia, Live Organic Cafe, Rimtang, and Pink Tiger.
