Best Restaurants in Shaw
20 restaurants analyzed · Washington DC
Shaw is one of DC's most interesting neighborhoods for dining, where the historic Black neighborhood character runs alongside craft cocktail bars, Japanese restaurants, and a soul food tradition that holds its own against newer openings. American and Asian restaurants lead the scene, with bar food that's taken more seriously here than in most parts of the city. Prices lean toward the higher end, but Shaw's dining has a confidence and depth that makes it worth seeking out.
