Restaurant · Downtown
"Opening Tuesday, July 29, this 6,493-square-foot French-American restaurant—whose name means "secret agent" in French—brings chef-partner Cedric Maupillier’s longstanding South-of-France–informed recipes to the busy corner of 17th and K Street NW. The menu highlights the elegance of the Riviera and Mediterranean coast with grilled fish and seafood, plenty of vegetable dishes, seafood towers, and caviar (martinis), alongside a short list of meats, steak frites, and pasta. The large space houses a central DJ booth and a stage for live piano, sax, guitar, and violin performances, and weekend hours extend until 1 a.m." - Tierney Plumb
Hamburger restaurant · Midtown West
"Debuting Friday, July 25, as the chef Gordon Ramsay’s burger chain’s first U.S. location, this lower-level spot at the Street Pizza site serves American-style smash burgers that differ from the U.K. outposts. The five-ounce double smash patties come in variations like the In-N-Out–style “Next Level” with caramelized onions, pickles, and spicy aioli, and a Hell’s Kitchen–inspired burger with spicy tomato chutney, crispy onions, and jalapeños. The menu also features fried chicken sandwiches, vegan burgers made with harissa-spiced vegetables, buckets of chicken wings, $5 draft beers, and loaded fries." - Tierney Plumb
Restaurant · Rosslyn
"Opening Thursday, July 24, this next-gen food hall brought Wonder’s model to Virginia with 20 eateries producing dishes from iconic restaurants around the nation—examples cited include Brooklyn’s Di Fara Pizza, Tejas Barbecue from Texas, and Marcus Samuelsson’s Streetbird—and also co-developed exclusive concepts such as a Greek-inspired Chios Taverna from celebrity chef Michael Symon in Rosslyn. Wonder recruits superstar chefs to lend names and recipes, and the kitchen turns out a wide array of cuisines for on-site dining or delivery; the food hall touts a door-to-door delivery time of 30 minutes or less." - Tierney Plumb
Ice cream shop · Georgetown
"Opened Sunday, July 20 (National Ice Cream Day), this Georgetown shop from founder Chrys Kefalas brings flavors inspired by Rhodes using farm-fresh cream and premium Mediterranean-sourced ingredients. Opening flavors include Greek classics like baklava and cherry studded with chocolate chunks, plus American favorites like rocky road and cookies and cream, a strawberry vegan sorbet, and several frozen Greek yogurt options. The bright blue-and-white shop includes whimsical color-changing spoons and design elements that evoke Greece’s flag." - Tierney Plumb
Latin American restaurant · Dupont Circle
"Serving Central and South American classics since Friday, July 18, this restaurant focuses on dishes ranging from Peruvian chicken and continent-spanning ceviches to playful takes on familiar plates—example: patatas bravas made with crispy bites of yuca. Executive chef Giovanni Orellana, inspired by his El Salvadoran roots and decades-long career in Peruvian, Italian, and Mexican kitchens, helms the menu. Owner Antonis Karagounis (Mayflower Club) opened this as his first sit-down spot since Rewind Diner (2018); the cozy room features verdant green artwork and velvet furniture, with plenty of tasting flights of liquors distilled across the Americas and the Mayflower Club below." - Tierney Plumb

Longtime chef Brendan L’Etoile imports top-selling items such as steak frites dunked in béarnaise, croque madame, and duck confit. The space features a 50-foot wraparound bar pouring spritzes, local beers, and wines, plus a daily happy hour with $6 pours of red, white, and rosé from 3–6 p.m." - Tierney Plumb
