Restaurants with Vegetarian Dishes That Will Make You Keep Your Resolutions"},"content":{"rendered":"\n
2024 has started off with a bang in the D.C. area, with lots of new venues opening their doors and highlighting cuisines from around the world. Several of these new venues are serving exciting, innovative vegetarian dishes that are packed with flavor and are almost too beautiful to eat. I know that many of you are looking to lower your meat consumption in 2024 so here are five new D.C. restaurants with vegetarian dishes that will make you keep your resolution to eat more vegetables! <\/p>\n\n\n
Trendy and chic, Grazie Mille<\/a>, located behind its sister venue, Grazie Nonna, is already a hit amongst locals. Low lighting, invigorating tunes, and an opulent d\u00e9cor create a fun and energetic vibe at this bar\/restaurant. For a dreamy vegetarian dish to pair with one of their sensational drinks, try the stracciatella. Served with sweet, garlicky roasted tomatoes and a hunk of chewy bread, the creamy cheese is sinfully good. As noted, drinks are great; I recommend the Vatican, a bright, boozy martini, as well as a glass of their rose Lambrusco. Gather with friends at the bar or in their cozy circular booths over drinks, drinks and snacks, or a full-on dinner \u2013 just be sure to get the stracciatella! <\/p>\n\n\n This long-awaited Mexican spot is officially open in Dupont Circle, and reservations are already getting booked up. Come to Amparo Fondita<\/a> for the herbed guacamole and margaritas, and stay for the decadent corn quesadillas stuffed with cheese and huitlacoche, the potato and chard tacos, and the chile relleno, doused in a spicy tomato infused salsa frontera. For dessert, don’t skip the luscious, coffee-flavored flan. Located in the same spot as former hotspots Himitsu, Pom-Pom, and Little Vietnam, Almeda <\/a>serves up a small but delightful menu with a memorable vegetarian jollof rice risotto, which is warm and creamy, topped with crunchy peanuts for texture and pickled plantains for a tart note. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
