Mazel Tov to Maydan, Selected the Number 2 Best New Restaurant in America by Bon Appetit Magazine

By Prince Of Petworth


Alley entrance to Maydan at 1346 Florida Ave, NW

Thanks to Emma for passing on from Bon Appetit yesterday:

“it takes only one meal–and a couple hours staring longingly at the huge hearth and all the charred meats and puffy bread coming off it–to realize why it was so worth it.”

Read the full story here.

Back in April Maydan was also selected “#1 on Food & Wine Magazine’s top 10 restaurants of the year”. So it will indeed be very tough to get a table – but worth it when you do!
