Mio My

You’re all about global influences. In fact, you’re the poster child, head to toe: Gucci trapeze dress (Italy), Balenciaga bag (France), Issey Miyake perfume (Japan).

So your globe-trotting ways will be right at home at Mio. The new restaurant has chef John Paul Damato (of Jaleo fame) at the helm, and the menu has inspiration from as far as Northern Africa (check out the slow-roasted lamb with harissa broth) and as near as D.C.’s own backyard (don’t miss the locally foraged wild mushrooms with roasted garlic and polenta).

Even the wine list reflects an international mindset: You’ll find boutique wineries from Chile, Australia, and Argentina alongside European selections.

And with most entrees priced under $28 and appetizers under $15, dinner’s gotta be cheaper than feeding your global designer fetish.

Then again, you will need something fabulous to be seen in.


Mio, 1110 Vermont Avenue NW, at L Street (202-955-0075).
