Best Organic Food Restaurants in Dowell

The best place in the DC area. If you haven’t been there, you need to go!

Yet another lovely evening celebrating the holidays at chez Francois! A Christmas tradition in our family; we look forward to it every year and are never disappointed. Indulge in the Christmas specials (the Wellington is to die for), and enjoy the festive and perfect service and atmosphere. 10 out of 10!

It’s been a few years since we dined here, so was curious to see if the food was still as good as we remember. It was!! The menu had enough to choose from, but there were still daily specials offered. Chose one of them—the Halibut—and wasn’t disappointed. The local Sauvignon Gris was a nice match and the desert martinis were delicious pared with the local graham cracker crust ice cream garnished with a Snickerdoodle. Cozy Christmas decor adds to the charm of this chic rustic establishment. Don’t miss it!

Yesterday evening we celebrated my daughter's 38th birthday at Elizabeth's- and now all of us are ready to go back tonight.The minute you walk in the door of Elizabeth's you feel as if you have been welcomed into a cosy and elegant historical home.  We were greeted warmly by Elizabeth and the staff, all of whom are incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and culinarily multi-talented. And the dinner experience is similar to being served a new piece of artwork with each course. Would I ever be able to replicate the Klamath Return, a kombu-marinated chioggia beet, caraway crisp and celery root, or the Cleopatra's Ambrosia, with sea buckthorn, pink banana sorbet and kinome leaf,  or the Velvet Immortal with the saffron pickled enoki mushroom? Not in my wildest dreams.  My family normally inhales their food, but this time conversation was at a minimum as we took time to appreciate each new amazing taste sensation. Our party consisted of one vegan,  one vegetarian , and two omnivores,  and all of us agreed Elizabeth's is the best restaurant in DC.
