Zaytinya Eastern Mediterranean restaurant by Spanish chef José Andrés. His Minibar restaurant, with a fixed menu priced at $225 per person, is one of the toughest reservations to have in DC. We decided to pick between Zaytinya and Jaleo Tapas for lunch.
Puffed flatbreads served with some olive oil and pomegranate syrup
Grape leaves dolmades - grape leaves with rice, tomato, fennel, pine nuts, golden raisins, served with labneh (strained yogurt)
Baba Ghanouge - fire-roasted eggplant, tahini, lemon, garlic
Santorini Fava and Squash soup - purée of yellow split pea and butternut squash, sultans, marinated mushrooms
Garides Me Anitho - sautéed shrimps, dill, shallots, mustard, lemon juice
Spanakopita - House-made phyllo, spinach, feta cheese
Turkish Delight - walnut ice cream, yogurt mousse, honey geleé, orange-caramel sauce, caramelized pine nuts
The check
What a lovely lunch!
