Marcels

If you happen to be in the D.C. area and you must immediately go to Pennsylvania Ave NW & 24th Street to one of the best dining establishments you will ever find.

Marcel’s boasts a franco-flemish menu that does not disappoint! We decided to order from their pre-theatre menu and (sigh) it was heaven. Pure and simple:

• Creamy asparagus soup: sooooo good not a drop was left in the bowl

• Chicken Breast: the most moist delicious perfectly tasty four slices (quality not quantity folks!)I have ever had in my entire life.

• And dessert…..ooooohhh…orgasm on a plate is more like it! A triple chocolate attack of mousse and sorbet with a dash of just tangy enough passion fruit left me nearly ready to re-enact Meg Ryan’s classic scene from “When Harry Met Sally” (you know which one).

All of this was topped off with the most delicious wine. Now the name escapes me but they have one of the greatest wine lists and the servers there are so well-versed that you will be in good hands no matter which bottle (cause you can’t have just one glass!) you choose to imbibe.

Marcel’s….recipient of the CakeNotCoke.com seal of approval.
