Shouk

Yelp 4.5 Stars

Google Reviews 4.6

Why it’s great: Flavorful, “Healthy”

What influencers say:

As the world gets ever-closer to veggie burgers that are designed to “bleed” and cook like traditional meat, Shouk has decided to run in the other direction.

Ran Nussbächer, founder of the plant-based pita shop in Mount Vernon Square, said he wanted a veggie burger without processed or synthetic ingredients, but with “whole foods that you can actually see.” And see them you can: Chickpeas, black beans, lentils and chunks of mushrooms stand out in the patty, which also features cauliflower, beets and scallions.

La Colombe Coffee

Why it’s great: Because you’re actually tired of Starbucks!

Neither local nor new to the District, La Colombe has set up shop in DC’s small, busy Chinatown, with a cafe just one block up and one block over from both the Verizon Center and the neighborhood’s iconic Friendship Archway. The 21-year-old roastery based out of Philadelphia already introduced itself to Washington last February with a location in tucked-away Blagden Alley. Read More

Nando's

Yelp 4 Stars

Google 4.3 Stars

Why it's great: price, good healthy fast-food and great beer

What Influencers say:

Nando's is a great place to have lunch. It’s a casual restaurant rather than a fast-food one – another aspirational touch. The grilled peri-peri chicken is energetically spiced. As for the chickens, they're not organic, but neither are they battery-farmed; Nando's buys from big outfits that comply with the industry's voluntary standards. One of the best plates is the traditional Boneless Chicken Breast, a succulent, butterflied whole chicken breast in crispy skin. No bones about it! Read more
