Great Taste is Always in Style at The Mayflower Renaissance

Summers in DC are suited for the carefree and indulgent. The capital boasts a nightlife that stands out on the East coast, and every year foodies in Washington look forward to the time when Restaurant Week hits. And it’s about to hit.

Restaurant Week DC will bring diners out of the woodwork from August 16-22 in the city. Café Promenade, located inside The Mayflower Renaissance Hotel, is joining forces with other local restaurants for this savory week.

The hotel’s executive chef, Abdellah Aguenaou, worked with historian Keith McClinsey to put together special three-course lunch and dinner menus in honor of the tasty event. The menus highlight the signature dishes that have kept the famous and powerful returning to the spot for lunches and dinners for most of the last century. From Lump Crab Cake Imperial “1953″ to Mayflower Strawberry Pie “1932,” these dishes will teach guests a thing or two about American history while simultaneously satisfying their most refined culinary tastes.

As General Manager Satinder Palta likes to say, “At the Mayflower, great taste is always in style.” To which we might add: especially when great taste is a bargain.
