Celebrating its Twentieth anniversary in the nation's capital, Taberna del Alabardero has been designated as the best Spanish restaurant outside of Spain by the Spanish government and has received recognition as one of the best restaurants in the country by Washingtonian magazine, Gourmet, The New York Times and Conde Nast Traveler. Though Taberna del Alabardero regularly plays host to diplomats and dignitaries, General Manager Javier Velazquez treats all guests specially, and welcomes them as he would into his own home. Executive Chef continues the restaurant's mission of providing the best of Spain's cuisine by offering classical dishes, which reflect various cooking styles from the country's regions, including Basque, Andalucia, Valencia and Galicia. In addition to lunch and dinner menus, guests may choose from a tapas menu and a complete vegetarian menu.
Always delightful cuisine!

This is my favorite restaurant. Others may come and go, hot or not, but this establishment is tried and true, always steady and excellent. You can count on Taberna Del Alabardero for outstanding food and impeccable service. I have taken family, friends, and even a boss to this restaurant and never have I been disappointed. You really must go and try it out - - it will be the best present you can give yourself. The cuisine of Spain at its best.
