Item Description

It's no secret that Washington, DC is now one of the country's culinary capitals. The winner of this dining package will receive a $100 gift certificate for each of the following restaurants: Art and Soul, Cava Mezze, Cure Bar & Bistro, Et Voila!, Ping Pong Dim Sum. Each of these restaurants specializes in a different type of cuisine, and each is in a different Washington, DC area neighborhood, allowing you to partake of some of DC's best food in some of the city's finest locations.

Art and Soul, in the heart of Capitol Hill, is named for its nationally renowned chef, Art Smith, and the genuine welcoming feeling guests experience when they walk through the doors. The cuisine at Art and Soul is presented with southern-style hospitality. Art and Soul offers guests a chic setting in which to meet and connect, while enjoying "food for the soul." Dine at any of three Cava Mezze restaurant locations (Capitol Hill, Clarendon, or Rockville). Cava Mezze is a Greek restaurant that the owners, children of Greek immigrants, have created to bring to mind the mezze/tapas style dining in Greece. We believe in big flavor with a small footprint. Their food is made from delicious, simple, authentic Greek and fresh local ingredients. Located in trendy Penn Quarter, Cure Bar & Bistro is inspired by the age-old tradition of curing foods to preserve and enhance the flavors. The service style involves the perfect pairing of food and beverages to create personailzed taste profiles. Choose from an extensive selection of wine, beer and spirits while savoring cuisine focusing on local, sustainable and seasonal ingredients. At Et Voila! enjoy a gourmet Belgian meal prepared by Chef Claudio Pirollo in Washington, DC's Palisades neighborhood. Et Voila! is proud to serve natural, locally grown produce, and its wine selection comes from small boutique winemakers who produce fewer than 50 cases of wine per year. At Ping Pong Dim Sum's Dupont Circle or Chinatown location, enjoy top-rate dim sum in a glamorous setting.
