Finding a quality grab-and-go meal in D.C. has never been easier. The city offers an impressive roster of fast-casual eateries, each dishing out their particular twists on grain bowls, salads, burritos, and other meals favored by hurried or budget-conscious diners.
Fast-casual menus tap into cuisines around the globe, such as the Indian flavors at Rasa or Spice 6 or the Mexican fare from Taco Bamba or Butterfly. Many of these restaurants also serve beer, wine, and cocktails making them as suitable for an on-the-go lunch as they are for a low-key dinner with friends. Meanwhile, wildly successful local companies such as Cava, Sweetgreen, &pizza, and Taylor Gourmet continue their respective paths to world domination while still keeping hometown fans well fed.
