Washingtonian: Festive Restaurants for Christmas Eve Dining Around DC

Christmas Eve (Saturday, December 24) is a prime time to dine out around DC—whether you’re looking for a festive brunch, blowout dinner, or a casual place to gather with family and friends.

Instead of brunch, the contemporary Korean restaurant near Dupont Circle is serving their normal dining menu all day on Christmas Eve. Enjoy Mama Lee’s classics like chili-braised chicken thighs, or chef Angel Barreto’s standout dishes like a galbi ssam board or whole crispy branzino.
