Beli, a very popular restaurant list-keeping app, just stated that it’s had its biggest year yet, with over 50 million reviews offering ratings on restaurants all around the globe!
Now, the viral app has just named the top 5 highest-rated new spots around the District in 2025:
Maison Bar À Vins
Located in Adams Morgan, tucked away in an unsuspecting Victorian brownstone, Maison Bar À Vins is a classy wine bar filled with old-money vibes!
It also happened to rank first on Beli’s 2025 Best New Restaurants in D.C. list.It houses a wine collection that contains north of 1,000 bottles and serves up some small but highly satisfying French-inspired dishes.
The restaurant opened very recently, just in September, but it has quickly risen in the ranks of the D.C. food scene and become a local favorite.
Where: 1834 Columbia Rd NW
Reynold’s Bar
Located at the SIXTY Hotel near Dupont Circle, Reynold’s Bar is one of the most popular new bar destinations around the District in 2025.
The bar’s stunning wooden interior and “Americana-style” bar bites make for a comfortable and casual space that still feels elevated and elegant.
It also just so happens to be situated in the very same hotel as Casamara, one of Beli’s top new restaurants in the District this year.
Where: 1320 18th Street NW, Washington
Daily Provisions
Home to some breathtaking breakfasts, some pretty pastries, quality coffee, and, of course, some delicious dinners, Daily Provisions is a stunning spot located in the Dupont Circle area that does a bit of it all!
While the spot has earned some local fame for the cruller donuts, you can’t go wrong with one of its breakfast sandwiches with a half-smoke patty!
Alternatively, if you’re more interested in dinner fare, this place has a great menu for both lunch and dinner, featuring a list of sandwiches, salads, soups, and more.
The hot-ticket item among the lunch/dinner crowd is the roast chicken, so be sure to give it a try!
Where: 1601 Connecticut Ave NW
Yala Greek Ice Cream
Serving an authentic ‘Greek-Style’ ice cream, which is apparently creamier and denser than classic American ice cream, this Georgetown spot is the perfect place for every sweet tooth!
With Mediterranean-inspired flavors like baklava or burnt caramel with sea salt, this place taps into something that you can’t find at any ice cream shop around the corner.
Where: 3143 N Street NW, Georgetown
