Between the Qatari and Spanish embassies, the famous Pennsylvania Avenue and George Washington University Medical Center, restaurants of every ilk can be found spicing up the West End’s luxurious lifestyle. As a hotbed of development, the West End has evolved from decrepit Victorian rowhouses into luxury condominiums, classy highrises, flashy businesses and upscale hotels. Fine restaurants, family friendly cafes and student-priced eateries line the eclectic streets, and some of the most exquisite dining options are found in many of the first-class hotels. With the brand new West End Bistro in the Ritz Carlton offering the dynamic fare of highly acclaimed 3-star Michelin chef Eric Ripert, the succulent flavors at Shula’s Steak House and the mind-blowing contemporary American cuisine of M Brasserie, there are more than enough ways to dazzle your taste buds at restaurants in the West End.
