Melange’s website says:
“Mélange (French: “mixing”) is a story about mixture and the careful harmony of flavors, ingredients, and techniques from around the world. Born in Ethiopia, trained in France, and now famous for his triple-blend burger, Chef Elias Taddesse’s new restaurant Mélange builds on his iconic burger with new classics inspired by his Ethiopian heritage. As the city reopens, Mélange will expand with an East-African infused cocktail menu and chef tasting menus of Ethiopian-infused fine French cuisine.”
Check out their menu here.
From the Mount Vernon Triangle BID:
“After weeks of anticipation, Mélange has opened for pickup at 449 K Street NW starting today, September 2 and will open for patio dine-in service this Friday, September 4.
Takeout, delivery and order-in will also be available. This full-service restaurant blends Michelin-starred Chef Elias Taddesse’s French culinary training with his Ethiopian heritage. The menu features his famous burgers, fried chicken sandwiches – including “The National,” inspired by the Ethiopian dish doro wat – and vegan and vegetarian options. Please extend a warm Mount Vernon Triangle welcome to Chef Elias and show some love and support for Mélange–an exciting new addition that we are thrilled to welcome to the neighborhood!
Mélange’s hours of operation are Sunday-Tuesday from Noon-7pm, Wednesday from Noon-8pm, Thursday from Noon-10pm, and Friday-Saturday from Noon-11pm.“
