Blue Duck Tavern
West End ~ 24 & M Streets NW
A favorite spot of the Obamas for intimate
dinners and known for its signature refined
American cuisine, the Blue Duck Tavern’s
brunch certainly is not one to be overshadowed
by the evening meal. Blue Duck has a passion
for locally sourced ingredients, and recognizes
their growers on the menu next to each dish.
Enjoy a gourmet cocktail or fresh squeezed
juice along with starters such as the Sticky
Bun, assorted basket of homemade pastries,
or Salmon Avocado Johnny Cake. Main dishes
include traditional yet upscale comfort food
such as Strawberry-Rhubarb French Toast,
Eggs Benedict with Smoked Trout, Wagyu
Beef Steak and Egg, and Short Rib Hash.
