Nous avons eu le plaisir de dîner au restaurant Taberna Alabardero à Washington et nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre expérience. Le décor, d’inspiration plus classique et traditionnelle, avec ses nappes blanches et ses détails élégants, crée une ambiance chaleureuse et pleine de charme. L’accueil a été très courtois et le service, attentif et professionnel tout au long du repas. Nous avons choisi des plats relativement simples, mais préparés avec soin et mettant en valeur des ingrédients de qualité. Tout était savoureux et bien exécuté. Nous avons passé un excellent moment et recommandons volontiers ce restaurant à ceux qui recherchent une expérience culinaire agréable dans un cadre élégant et accueillant.Posted on Google![]()

We came to DC for a long weekend and because I didn't know how the flught would go I didnt make any reservations uoon arrival and decided to wing it. We passed Taberna Del Alabardero on the walk from the subway to the hotel. It looked festuve, pretty and there was outside seating. We glanced at the menu and decided to go back. The staff were friendly, attentive and provided great service. The first place I've been where they poured Gray Goose in my glass in front of me. Fantastic! The decor inside was beautiful and my favorite color, green. The pictures on the wall and the colorful drapes with wood accents made it very spanish and kund of historical lookimg. The food was amazing! We ordered the octopus off the main menu and 2 items off a June experice menu. The octopus tasted smoked to me. I ordered because based on what I read about the restaurant I felt they would do it well.. and they did! The potatoes needed a touch of salt for us, but we are salt people. The Croquetas were so creamy and delicious with the garlic shrimp. The cream cheese on the toast set off the flavors of the carleized onions and whisky reduction pork. The coup de grâce was the Cheesecake desset. It was warm and a combo of airy and dense. The granny smith apples on the side were tart and pallet clensing. So good! We also received shirtbread cookies and a chocolate cookie thing that were delicious! The prices are on the expensive side, but definitely worth it. Great place for sharung and date night.
