The Michelin Guide is tipping off D.C. foodies to 16 new restaurants that are newly recommended by the prestigious dining organization’s experts.
The new additions to the guide come in advance of the annual announcement of the Bib Gourmands and awarding of Michelin stars.
“By revealing some of the new additions made by our inspectors throughout the year, we enhance our digital tools to further strengthen the ties that bind us to food lovers,” said Gwendal Poullennec, international director of the Micheline Guides, in a news release. “We hope that these regular revelations and updates to the selection throughout the year will provide opportunities to highlight the profession and invite everyone to discover and support the restaurants around them.”
New recommendations include relative newcomers, from Mediterranean-flavored ala in Dupont Circle and Honeymoon Chicken in Petworth, to longtime Southern cooking favorite Georgia Brown’s near McPherson Square.
In December, Michelin added four new D.C. restaurants deemed worthy of discovery.
The first Michelin Guide for D.C. restaurants debuted in 2016. The organization relies on teams of inspectors — many of them former chefs — who make their recommendation after anonymous visits.
