- SSabrinaVIPWashington, D.C. Area •4 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 28, 2024This restaurant was one of my staples for lunch, dinner, and happy hour. But, I had never been to the weekend brunch. I had extended family in town for the holidays, visiting from France, so my son and I decided to go here after asking the two teenage girls what they would like. Like always, it did not disappoint. The service was excellent. Our waitress was so accommodating. We choose some of the following dishes: Albóndigas – absolutely delicious Pimientos De Padrón BOQUERIA B.E.C* Huevos Horneados Tosta De Aguacate Torrija – this was the absolute best French toast I have ever eaten. With a side of - Gambas Al Ajillo My son felt like we ordered too much food, which we did since there were five of us. We left so much food, NOT because it wasn’t great but because I wanted to ensure everyone had dined sufficiently. As in the previous post, please don’t judge me 😂 I’m not a wasteful person. This won’t be a last brunch visit; believe me.More infoBoqueria - DupontPrice: Expensive• Tapas / Small Plates• Dupont Circle•4.7
