Washingtonian's 30 Best Burgers in the DC Area

The Classic Pastis Cheeseburger

“Le Diplomate has long held the crown for best French-bistro burger in the city, and while it’s still great, the eight-ounce cheeseburger at its Union Market sibling is even tastier. Credit a blend of brisket, chuck, and short rib from Pat LaFrieda; buns baked daily at nearby Bread Alley; and just the right amount of pickles, onions, and special sauce. Bonus: It’s a mere $9.99 at lunch.”

The DC menu pays homage to the original Pastis by bringing back some of its American and Eastern European dishes. For example, you’ll find Caesar salad, wiener schnitzel, potato pierogies, and chicken kiev on the Union Market menu. Popular classics will also carryover, including steak frites, escargots, onion soup, and duck confit.

NYC's glam Pastis is now open near Union Market

01/25/24

How do you take an iconic New York City restaurant, revive it, and clone it? That’s the challenge power-duo restaurateurs Keith McNally and Stephen Starr have embraced with Pastis, which opens today in D.C.’s Union Market District. On your plate: Brasserie classics, sure — an au poivre burger, French onion soup — but also plates like potato pierogies, wiener schnitzel, and chicken kiev. The latter is a nod to Starr’s late NYC restaurant Verōnika, “where we perfected it.”
