    Minibar (Cafe Atlantico)

    • Tucked inside of Penn Quarter's Cafe Atlantico (about a five-minute walk from the Archives/Naval Memorial station), this unique restaurant-within-a-restaurant has a menu that includes head-scratching delicacies such as "beet tumbleweed" and "cotton candy eel." The work of avante garde chefs who use techniques borrowed from the art world, these creations are like puzzles, intended to challenge, trouble and delight the senses. Seating is very limited, so reservations must be made at least a month in advance.

    Rock Creek Restaurant

    • The Mazza Gallerie mall is home to this health food restaurant, which features views from 23-foot windows and a giant sculpture of a tree whose silk leaves reach the ceiling. The menu is built on the philosophy of "mindful dining," which entails low-calorie entrees that use clever tactics to present the illusion of less healthy meals while preserving as much of the flavor as possible.

    • The interior of this cozy bar and restaurant is modeled after Ernest Hemingway's boat, and it has the charm and comfort to match.
