Michael’s Noodles: Authentic Taiwanese food, kept authentic
Tucked away from the I-270 and off the grid of Big Box Central (i.e., Rockville Pike), Michael’s Noodles is a wonderful welcome of authentic Chinese-Taiwanese style cooking. Don’t be fooled by its sad location in a strip mall sandwiched between corporate campuses – those employees are oh so lucky to have Michael’s as a lunch option.

Lavandou: A Franco-American experience
Lavandou is a classic French restaurant, slightly Americanized in its service (quicker than in France), but with all the herbs, slow-cooking and butter that necessitates true French cuisine. Located away from the downtown hype in an unlikely part of town, in quieter Cleveland Park, Lavandou is a real treasure trove of moules and pate and rillettes de canard. If you're a real francophile, or really enjoy French cooking, an evening at Lavandou will whisk you away to Provence, the restaurant's reg

Blue Agave: Tequila haven
In a land of crabs and Old Bay, it’s easy to miss the other stand-out cuisines in Baltimore. Blue Agave, however, is not one that Baltimore residents should miss.

Chop't: Salad in the District in 30 seconds
Chop't: a lunch place that prepares your food so quick, it doesn't even have time to write out “Chopped”. This salad specialty place makes salads in almost 30 seconds (more like three minutes, but who's complaining?) and ushers people in and out the door in a New York – or DC – minute. It's fitting considering the restaurant has about 10 locations between the two cities.

Salt: Because there's real flavor here
Anyone walking by this brick brownstone exterior on the corner by Patterson Park would have thought nothing of it: perhaps another neighborhood pub-in-the-wall type place for locals to dwell past hours. But there's something about the name, Salt, and its glowing green industrial lights as seen from the outside that will make people look twice. Food is a modern art form (in a good way) that you'll only partially understand, particularly the menu descriptions, but an extraordinary experience that

Mitsitam Native Foods Cafe - a taste of native America
Mitsitam means “Let’s Eat!” in the Native American tongues of the Delaware and Piscataway peoples. And that’s exactly what museum-goers of the National Museum of the American Indian do after a morning of walking its exhibits – they eat, and well, too. Mitsitam is not just another cafeteria with overpriced burgers and drinks; it’s an extension of the museum experience for the fifth sense: tasting the past and present of Native American culinary traditions.

Suki Asia: A new kind of "fast" food
Suki Asia has had its ups and downs. Through the past year it's gone through three owners, and its food and service quality has bounced around like the Dow Jones Industrial Average. But finally, this little Asian lunch place found a rightful owner who treats it and its customers well. Lines have formed again starting at noon, and orders of boologi bibimbap have risen just because it's fun to say.
