You may already recognize the H Street destination from its viral rainbow lattes and all-day breakfast menu in the downstairs cafe. A new addition to the D.C. food scene this past fall, Hiraya Cafe made waves with its Filipino-inspired pastries, Tocino burger served on an ube bun, and, of course, its vibrant beverages.
Now, Hiraya is taking things up a notch with its upstairs dining room and bar, which features a chef’s counter and rotating tasting menu.
Hiraya Restaurant is situated on the upper level of the 4,700-square-foot eatery. Offering a fresh take on traditional Filipino dishes, Chef Paolo Dungca and his skilled culinary team blend traditional and modern flavors to create a unique dining experience.
Guests can anticipate an innovative evolving menu with dishes such as sunchoke raviolo with morel mushrooms and Périgord truffle, and savory crab-fat doughnuts topped with Maine uni and Lardo. Through both the nostalgia-evoking dishes and the leafy, earth-toned decor, Hiraya celebrates the beauty and history of the Philippines.
The restaurant offers a seven-course tasting menu for $145 per person, and an optional wine pairing for $75 per person. The tasting menu also includes a surprise gift!
Hiraya Restaurant serves its chef’s tasting menu from 5:00 pm to 10:00 pm on Wednesday through Sunday. The dining area also features a bar with an à la carte menu.
Hiraya Cafe will continue to operate normally, serving breakfast and lunch from 8:00 am to 3:00 pm and a laid-back dinner menu from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm on Tuesday through Sunday.
