Under the direction of celebrated chef José Andrés and concept chef Michael Costa, Zaytinya offers an innovative mezze menu inspired by Turkish, Greek, and Lebanese cuisines served up in a sleek and modern setting. Building on Jose’s deep knowledge of Mediterranean cooking and years of research and travel, the menu features shared small plates of authentic and innovative fare, creative cocktails, and unique Mediterranean wines, making Zaytinya one of the most exciting restaurants in Washington, DC.
We thoroughly enjoyed the delicious Chef’s Tasting menu. Loved every bite, including the complimentary bread! A lot of food though … don’t fill up on the bread at the start. Noise level was high making conversations a bit difficult, but a packed, bustling restaurant is a good sign.
