Situated at the intersection of Foggy Bottom and the West End, a.kitchen + bar DC brings a polished, contemporary energy to Washington Circle. The space is a masterclass in modern minimalist design, featuring expansive floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the room with natural light, highlighting soft ash wood textures and sleek granite finishes. As a sophisticated extension of its James Beard-honored Philadelphia predecessor, the restaurant centers its identity on charcoal-grilled techniques and the rich seasonality of the Chesapeake region. Whether you are enjoying a crisp glass from their thoughtfully curated natural wine list at the elegant, marble-topped bar or sharing hyper-seasonal small plates in the airy dining room, the atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between high-end refinement and approachable, neighborhood warmth. It is a destination that feels uniquely attuned to the city’s pulse—offering an elevated retreat just blocks from the Kennedy Center and the historic charm of Georgetown.
