A ring of smoked salmon encircles the inner pâté of salmon and herbs that is topped with cucumber-red onion salad and placed on a toasted brioche, with dill crème fraîche drizzled around it. Decadent yet not too heavy, perfect for lunch!

Café Bonaparte

THE JOSEPHINE: Café Bonaparte in Upper Georgetown strives to bring a taste of Europe to Washington, and they do with ease by offering delicious café fare of soups, sandwiches, salads, and most popularly, crepes. Their offerings are divided into "sweet" and "not-so-sweet", both of which excel, but it's the banana and Nutella filled "Josephine" that is the most welcome European import.
