Best Restaurants in Dupont Circle

Dupont Circle is one of DC's most reliable dining neighborhoods, with a strong international influence reflecting the embassy community along Connecticut Avenue and the area's long history as a gathering place. American, Mediterranean, and European restaurants all have a real presence here, with prices that lean toward the higher end but a range wide enough to accommodate a weeknight dinner as well as a special occasion. The circle itself and the surrounding streets reward walking and deciding on the spot.
