Xiquet (chee-KETT) by international award-winning Chef Danny Lledó joined the select ranks of MICHELIN Star restaurants in DC in 2021, just one year after first welcoming guests to the intimate dining room in Glover Park. Xiquet is now known as one of the best fine dining restaurants in Washington DC for memorable, product-focused dishes served with warm, Mediterranean hospitality. The sought-after tasting menu experience showcases innovative preparations of the traditional cuisine of Valencia, ignited by a wood-fire kitchen where Chef Danny creates dishes to order using the finest products sourced both locally and internationally. The flavors of Valencia reflect the region’s warm coastal climate, abundant agriculture, and plentiful fresh seafood. A meal at Xiquet consists of a 14-course culinary experience that begins with tantalizing canapés and aperitivos at the Chef’s Counter on the first level, where you can settle in with a round of drinks while you peruse the Chef’s Menu (updated regularly to reflect the season and the freshest ingredients) at your leisure. From there, you are guided upstairs to our airy top-floor dining room, delighting in the excitement and aromas as you pass by Chef Danny’s entirely wood-fire kitchen enclosed in glass. Dinner is a chef-driven experience, often featuring rare jewels like the Red Prawn of Dénia on the menu and an extensive yet focused wine list. The experience concludes in our elegant mezzanine lounge with after-dinner treats created by our in-house pastry chef ($210 per person). Whether you are looking for new restaurant adventures, romantic restaurants in DC, or seek to create a memorable family dinner, we look forward to welcoming you to our home at Xiquet.
