Best Organic Food Restaurants in Bloomingdale / Brookland

Service was warm, knowledgable, and easy to talk with. Cozy yet spacious dining room. Food was interesting and enjoyable. There were a few bites that were memorable. Will definitely come back when the menu changes and likely do so at an ongoing basis.

Mele Bistro is a neighborhood gem that exceeds expectations of a first time guest. We have been enjoying Mele Bistro (formerly Village Bistro) for more than 35 years, with a 10 year gap because we weren’t living in Virginia. It is where my husband and I had our first date, but it had been a favorite of my friends and mine for years before that. The food was always good, but under Frank and Gevoni, the food has moved into the gourmand realm. Read their webpage. Their attention to freshness, how the meats are raised, where the seafood is sourced, how the ingredients meld, and how each plate is presented, is a mouth watering and eye pleasing experience. And their wine list should please even wine connoisseurs. My husband had the filet mignon. He reported “it was the most delicious and tender steak I have ever had”. My friend had the Four cheese raviolis, I got the Spinach and then shared so we could enjoy both. (They were out of the Butternut squash ravioli—both our favorite, but it turned out a good thing.). The Spinach and Four cheese were amazing. Now I have three favorites! Check Mele out. You will not be disappointed.

We visit DC eve RT January, and are always looking for restaurant that deserves a repeat visit. We finally found one! Wonderful southern style menu with unique and tasty twists. Definitely try the Sweetbread and Waffles!

Excellent couples date night! Ambiance, intimate, great drinks/food, super attentive and friendly wait staff. Would definitely return.

Food was good. Salmon was great. Chicken was a bit dry but well seasoned. Desserts were not good except for the chocolate coffee cake. Love the ambiance and good customer service Overall very solid Christmas dinner. a bit overpriced; maybe worth $70-$100
