Set in the Waldorf Astoria Washington DC, The Bazaar is the culmination of a 30-year dream for Chef José Andrés. Drawing inspiration from this iconic location, which first opened in 1899 and served as DC’s General Post Office until 1914, The Bazaar is a multi-level destination reinvented with avant-garde and Americana-inspired decor.

    Overall, this experience was just ok. They were out of dry ice to make one of the drinks on the menu, they were out of mussels and the burger was comprised of two ordinary beef patties similar to what you get at Checkers vs. one large patty. The other items we ordered were very good but overall the experience was just ok.

    Recommended by a friend. Food was great. We’d the octopus, patata bravas, lobster roll and cheese peppers. Get the bravas and lobster roll is so good it’s not for sharing! Couldn’t fault the staff. Only thing was that you’re pretty much eating in a lobby of a hotel. When going to pay, if using a card, you’ve to get up and go over to the till. In this day and age, you’d expect a mobile card reader could be used and available for payment at the table. Get the margarita!

    The check-in experience left something to be desired - felt chaotic and they were running 15-20min behind on seating reservations. The prix fixe is a large amount of food - about half of which was delicious (like the endive salad) and half was meh (like the yogurt espuma). The pacing of the dishes and the wine pairings was also slow with long-ish delays between courses. That said, the ambiance can’t be beat!
