âTop 5 in NoVA!? Thank you , they just named us Top 5 of our regionâs best cuisine. Cheers to that!
âWhat looks like dessert isnât always sweet. In the kitchen of chef Carlos Leon, each course gets an aesthetic star treatment that would confound Cookie Monster but will make sophisticated diners smile. Even the airy brioche that composes the bread service looks suspiciously like a cupcake.
Choose the four-course prix fixe and order the salmon tiradito, the Guatemalan-born chefâs version of a Peruvian Nikkei classic. His version features fish folded, almost origami-like, into jewel-toned constructions with charred avocado and tobiko, perched on a precipice above a well of tangy leche de tigre.
A duck entrĂ©e pairs smoked breast and blackberries with a toast topped with rillettes and plum purĂ©e. And when it comes time for the sweet stuff? Even Key lime pie is deconstructed into edible art. Virginiaâs bounty never looked so delicious.â
