Taberna del Alabardero

$$-$$$, Spanish, Downtown


Fodor's Review:

A lovely formal dining room, skillful service, and sophisticated cooking make this restaurant one of Washington's best. Start with tapas: piquillo peppers stuffed with bacalao (salt cod) or roasted leg of duck in a phyllo pastry pouch. Proceed to a hefty bowl of gazpacho or white garlic soup and venture on to authentic paella and fine Spanish country dishes. French-toast-like torrijas are a light ending to this rich fare. The plush interior and handsome bar make things romantic and help attract a well-heeled clientele.
