Métier (French): a field of work, an occupation that is someone’s area of expertise. Métier, a tasting menu and experience focused restaurant, is owned by acclaimed Chef Eric Ziebold and partner Célia Laurent who are chasing their dream of owning and operating a restaurant in the nation’s capital. Tucked into the lower level of a historic brick building dating back to 1907, the restaurant is locat
ed in the heart of Washington D.C. The building also houses Kinship, an elegant yet approachable restaurant offering an à la carte menu. Both restaurants offer creative and contemporary American cuisine with a continued dedication to hospitality. Métier is a small, intimate restaurant seating only 36 guests. Accessible by private elevator, guests can first relax and unwind in a private salon with hors d’oeuvres, cocktails or a glass of wine before entering the dining room with partial views of the Chef’s kitchen. Dinner at Métier revolves around a chef-driven experience, with a creative seven-course tasting menu. Métier is opened for dinner Wednesday through Saturday from 6 p.m.. The $200 dinner includes service and is exclusive of tax and beverages. Advance reservations are recommended and jackets are required for gentlemen. We offer valet service for dinner nightly. The restaurant has been designed by Darryl Carter, a Washington D.C. native and a leader in the design world, recognized for his restrained, distinguished and livable environments. Antique materials and furniture pieces are mingling with modern details to create an elegant yet warm and comfortable atmosphere. Art and books from Eric and Célia’s personal collections can be found throughout the restaurant and are there for guests to enjoy.
