Waterfront Restaurants on the Potomac
From breezy dockside patios to elegant riverside dining rooms, Old Town’s waterfront restaurants combine delicious food with Potomac River views. BARCA Pier & Wine Bar extends out over the water, offering panoramic views. Further north, adjacent to the Torpedo Factory Art Center, Chart House and Vola’s Dockside Grill serve up mouthwatering seafood as you enjoy a cool breeze off the water.
Global Flavors Along King Street
Stroll down King Street and you’ll find a mix of independent restaurants, global influences and local favorites. Taverna Cretekou presents authentic Greek dishes in a festive and inviting atmosphere. Stop into Josephine, a modern French brasserie, for brunch inside a modernized centuries-old building. Or make your way to the intimate Alice Cocktail Bar for creative drinks and Thai street food.
Morning Brunch to Evening Cocktails
Old Town’s dining scene stays active from sunrise to sunset. You’ll find cozy coffee shops and bakeries like Misha’s and Maman dotting King Street to help get your morning started. Al fresco dining for a lunch is a must, with neighborhood favorites like Ada’s on the River and The Wharf providing delicious cuisine alongside views of the water and King Street, respectively. In the evening, make a reservation at 1799 Prime Steak & Seafood or Vermilion for an unforgettable dinner. And if you’re looking for a nightcap, Daniel O’Connell’s or The Majestic is a perfect spot to grab a drink with friends.
