brr Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 As most of you know I'm a big fan of Vidalia's $19.90 3-course lunch special. I also enjoy the Proof $12 lunch entree + glass of wine at the bar special. Eve is another but not practical for lunch for anyone working in DC. Are there other attractive lunch specials I am missing in the Dupont/Downtown area for folks who are nto on expense accounts. Not interested in RW specials, but in longer running deals. Feel free to move to another forum if necessary/appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweaked Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Walking past Sesto Senso the other day I noticed them advertising a $14 lunch deal...can't remember the specifics. Their food is adequate and I've always liked the space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPop Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Greek Deli is always a great option, although that's not a sitdown restaurant. $10 will get you a mediterranean feast. PS7s had a $20 lunch deal running at the bar the last time I was there, but I don't know if they're still running it. Even if they aren't, just spend $10 and order the burger that has Reuben toppings on it and call it a day. It's absolutely delicious and there's no way that you could stuff anything else down your gullet after eating that monster. Oya always has $20 lunch and $30 dinner menus running.

Night Owl Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Teatro at 19th & K -- $13.95 bar lunch for an entree (extensive choices) plus a glass of wine... delicious. They also now have a $20 express lunch, consisting of salad, entree and dessert all on one "bento"-like tray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al the Pal Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Looking for suggestions of any restaurants in DC that offer lunch deals during the week. By lunch deals, I mean something along the lines of the Lickety Split lunch at Restaurant Eve (although I'm not expecting as great a bargain as that!!) We are looking for a place that is metro accessible. THANKS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kibbee Nayee Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 All over the northern Virginia 'burbs there are Indo-Pak buffets in the $6.99 to $7.99 range, all you can eat. Not sure if that is happening downtown or not, where the beffuets tend to be Asian-run (and loosely inspired) and pay-by-the-pound. My favorite lunch deal in the northern Virginia suburbs is at PassionFish -- $15 gets you the standard amuse of croutons with smoked whitefish rilette, a bowl of soup or gumbo (or else a salad), and one of the daily entree specials, like lobster roll on Monday or shrimp and grits on Tuesday....best deal in Reston, in my humble opinion.

Picked from 2 wines, 5+ pastas, and 5+ gelato flavors when I was there recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wristband Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 I second the head-turning PassionFish $15 - good deal if in Reston. Minerva(s) have a grand Indian buffett at a low price. Clydes Tysons knocks 20% off the entire bill if you order by 11:30 M-F. Nortons @ Tysons I (by Banana Republic) knocks 25% off the entire bill before Noon weekdays. Lest we forget, Restaurant Week luncheon prices are soon upon us in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

synaesthesia Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I was surprised to see a lunch deal at Sushi Ko in Chevy Chase this week. It runs 7 days a week, not just weekdays. $20.10 gets you three courses. First is a choice of miso soup, seaweed salad, and another option I can't remember. Second is salmon ceviche or shrimp tempura. Third is four pieces of sushi and one maki or chicken teriyaki. The seaweed salad was a surprisingly substantial amount; the ceviche has four slices of carpaccio thickness with salmon roe. A surprisingly good deal, given that small plates can cost as much as $12 here. And of course, the overall quality was quite good, making this a steal with respect to a sushi restaurant, especially now that Sushi Taro has upgraded itself.

I would assume that this deal would be unofficially part of Bethesda-Chevy Chase's Restaurant Week instead of an ongoing deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escoffier Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Proof has a lunch with a glass of wine deal (didn't look at the price..unfortunately, the Feds aren't as forward thinking as the French to allow wine with lunch). It's good at the bar only. (Looks like I didn't go back far enough, someone already posted the Proof lunch. Now I'm going to have to check the price to make sure it hasn't changed).
