Métier Washington

Elegance and excellence at every step in the sublime process - from start to finish. Creativity, service, flavors, presentation - everything

Metier is a very special dining experience. The restaurant is sparse and minimalist. The food was on point and the service was elegant without hovering or being intrusive, which is refreshing these days. You get a view of the kitchen, which is busy as they also cook the food for Kinship, the upstairs sister restaurant . Our tasting menu was great from start to finish, I especially loved the squab, and a dish they call "corn chiboust". The only annoyance in our evening out was a bunch of kids with megaphones outside the restaurant, they were loud and threatening, protesting against foie gras. Staff later told us that they haven't served foie gras in over a year, yet these "protesters' continue harassing the staff and patrons. Pretty moronic if you ask me, yet this being DC the police could not make them leave. Seems their right to harass outweighs our right to patronize a business without subjected to this nonsense. Still, once you make it downstairs to Métier, it is a relaxing dinner experience in a zen-like atmosphere.

Everything from start to finish was an incredible experience. As someone who’s gone to several Michelin Star restaurants, Metier is by far my favorite one. Not only is the quality of the food exceptional but so is the service. Highly highly recommend anyone to dine with them.
