Jaleo - 480 7th St. NW
Behold, the holy tapas trinity of renowned Spanish chef José Andrés: Jaleo, Zaytinya and Oyamel. At Jaleo (any of the three locations in DC, Bethesda and Arlington), authentic recipes made with gourmet ingredients take guests back in time to the restauranteur's childhood in Asturias, known for its seafood and various specialty cheeses. If you're looking to further immerse yourself in Spanish culture, then make sure to check out the specialized tapas menu in honor of the Flamenco Festival from March 3rd to March 19th (and attend a performance!).
