"restaurant m’a été recommandé par un copain qui a vécu de nombreuses années à DC, Cloud l’avait mis dans la catégorie des immanquables, alors on est allé à Old Ebbit le jeudi midi, le lendemain de notre arrivée. Je m’attendais à un truc cher et chic. C’était chic mais décontracté, un truc que seuls les Américains savent faire. Le restaurant, ouvert depuis 1856, est situé à deux pas de la Maison Blanche, donc beaucoup de costards-cravattes et de touristes. Le bâtiment est classe de l’extérieur, et l’intérieur a des allures de saloon comme dans le temps (oui, j’ai 180 ans, j’ai vu des saloons dans ma jeunesse). Derrière le grand bar en bois sombre sont accrochés des trophées de chasses. Le service est aux petits soins, et on a proposé de nous installer dans un « booth », une table avec deux banquettes face à face. Je m’attendais à des plats lourds et copieux : c’était raffiné et vraiment bon. En bons morfales que nous sommes, chacun a pris un dessert. Je pensais aussi que ce serait cher, vu la situation du resto, mais c’était tout à fait abordable : plats entre 12 et 16$ le midi. Old Ebbit Grill, 675 15St. NW"

"Mest kjent for sine østers-retter. Her får man også biff i store porsjoner. En av de eldste restaurantene i DC. Helt OK mat. "

"This is Washington’s oldest saloon. Throughout its history, The Old Ebbitt Grill has served President McKinley, Ulysses S. Grant, Andrew Johnson, Grover Cleveland, Theodore Roosevelt and Warren Harding. The Victorian interior features a marble staircase with an iron-spindled rail that was salvaged from the old National Metropolitan Bank next door. This iconic restaurant has appeared in many novels and films including House Justice by Mike Lawson and the film In The Line of Fire"

"serve ham- burger, pesce e alcolici; tenete gli occhi aperti e potrebbe capitarvi di avvistare pezzi grossi della politica seduti a pranzo. Il Grill occupa la sua invidiabile po- sizione vicino alla White House sin dal 1846. La sala da pranzo in legno e ottone è sempre gremita di politici e turisti che chiacchierano e mangiano spessi hamburger, crocchette di gran- chio e piatti tipo fish and chips, serviti a ritmo incalzante. Fateci un salto per un drink e qualche ostrica durante l’happy hour."

"Old Ebbitt Grill $$ Old Ebbitt Grill, Washington’s oldest saloon, has moved locations over the years, but it’s had a prime spot—right next door to the White House—for decades. The historic restaurant looks the part: It’s covered with wood paneling, antique chandeliers, leather banquettes, and D.C.-themed paintings. It’s an icon, and you feel it the second you walk in the door. The menu includes crowd-pleasers like sandwiches, burgers, crab cakes, and salads, but it’s really best known for its oysters. You can pick a dozen to share or go hog-wild with some of the raw bar’s more extravagant offerings, including the Orca Platter, with lobster, crab claws, clams, oysters, and shrimp. During daily happy hours, oysters are discounted and a sizable wine list offers plenty of seafood-friendly options."
