My husband and I brought two of our non-vegan friends from out of town here on Saturday night and everyone absolutely LOVED it. It makes me so happy to have a place like this to widen my friends views on how versatile and delicious plant-based food can truly be. Every dish was unique and incredibly tasty! We ordered so much food to split between the four of us and we were all so blown away with each plate. It was definitely one of the best meals I’ve ever had as everything was perfectly cooked, flavorful, beautifully presented and so mouthwateringly delicious and savory. I really like the high end side of vegan food. Our tops picked were the spicy dan dan noodles, rutabaga fondue, Peruvian potatoes, trumpet mushrooms and the seared maitake. Fancy Radish’s mushroom game is so on point! I cannot wait to come back! A huge thank you to Chefs Rich Landau and Kate Jacoby for bringing down their passion and wisdom to the DC area!!

Though I'm an ardent meat lover, would not have any problem giving up it up if I could eat food prepared and served by Fancy Radish every day! Went there to dinner last night, not sure what to expect, and it turned out that every dish we ordered was a hit and the server was very accomodating and helpful throughout the evening! The Chermoula Grilled Tofu, finely slathered with eggplant, was firm and slightly crispy, and the rich Stuffed Avocado with tangy romesco sauce was outstanding with so many complementary flavors. The vegan Rutabaga Fondue, served with fresh, warm pretzel bread and pickles for dipping, was a winner in the Comfort Food category! At our server's recommendation, we saved room for dessert with the Sumac Sour Cherries, warm donut holes in a cherry sauce, and the tiramasu-like Atlantic Beach Cup, layers of lemon custard, cream and raspberries with a crunchy bottom. Accompanied with extraordinary cocktails throughout the meal, including the whisky-based Woodmaze served in a tea cup, Fancy Radish is a home run definitely worth repeating!
We very much enjoyed my birthday dinner at this restaurant. I appreciate being able to dine in a classy restaurant as a vegan. Would definitely recommend the spicy Dan Dan noodles this were by far our favorite dish. We shared but definitely could have got one each. We also got the tofu (pictured) which was excellent and would highly recommend the fondu.
Would not recommend the “fancy radishes” (pictured) they were just a bit underwhelming. You will need to call ahead for a reservation as they are closing in mid October and the place was packed.
WOW! Such a delicious meal. Very innovative and exciting menu and love that it’s entirely plant-based! The food itself is incredible - super fresh, good portions, just delicious. Very friendly wait staff, too. Highly recommend!
So sad to be reviewing this place right before it closes. Food is utterly delicious and so inventive. Service is great and ambience is cool too. Go if you can and get the potatoes!!

Found this gem in search of a good Vegan restaurant in the DMV area for my wife. I’m not a vegan, but the food here is amazing! It’s located on H Street in DC, so come early before your reservation to find good street parking. The restaurant itself is very clean and set up nicely. The staff is extremely polite, friendly, and knowledgeable about the dishes. We have been here twice in the last month and the food is consistently great.
Ordered the Fancy Radishes as an app — smaller plate but they know how to turn radishes into a delicacy. Other dishes we had were the rutabaga fondue, Peruvian potatoes, and Dan Dan Noodles—all of which were incredible! For dessert, we had a chocolate bar with lavender ice cream. I was questionable at first about the paring but it was perfect. The lavender ice-cream was unique but super tasty.
Vegan or not, I highly recommend coming here for dinner. Don’t forget you need a reservation—they go fast! You will not be disappointed in the food or service at all. Enjoy!
Absolutely one of my new favorite restaurants. Food was unreal and the presentation was impeccable. We got the fondue and it was better than real cheese fondue hands down. The pretzel thing that comes with the fondue is sooooo good, we ate it and ordered a second!! The potatoes dish we also got was so delectable !!! Great drink selection too. This place is a whole mood. Highly recommend and would love love to come back here.
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. As someone who has never dined at a vegan restaurant before, I was pleasantly surprised by the vast array of options available.
I particularly enjoyed the unique way in which they presented their menu options on paper. My top recommendations would be the SPICY DAN DAN NOODLES and BRAISED PURPLE CABBAGE dishes.
However, I was not entirely impressed with the FANCY RADISHES, PERUVIAN POTATOES, CHIOGGIA BEET TOAST, and ORANGE YOU GLAD (Cocktail) as they all had a similar sauce that overpowered the taste.
On the other hand, the STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING was the highlight of my meal and the best dessert I have ever had.
Everything is plant based!
Most flavors are rich and creative but some are boring due to their simplicity.
I love that their menu is small, it allows one to try most of the menu. The vibe of the place is excellent.
Best to worst
-potato ( amazing flavors of sweet and spicy)
-Fondue ( rich creaminess and the bread was fantastic)
-Radish ( excellent texture the only thing I didn’t like was the avocado base)
-Broccoli ( the beans that the broccoli sit on are amazing)
-eggplant ( the charred flavor was unique )
The following dishes I do not recommend although they are the biggest dishes on the menu:
Both noodles
Tofu ( it is nothing special and lacks flavor)
I really didn’t think I would give this place 5 stars…..but I had to. Read below;
The staff- awesome, quick, knowledgeable, and very respectful.
The atmosphere- upscale fare with vibrant tunes and dimmed lighting. Perfect for a birthday, celebration, or just date night. The bar was also beautiful and would be really fun to sit at all night.
The food- let me start by saying I have high cholesterol because I eat so much meat. You must try as many dishes as possible (this usually isn’t a problem, because as you guessed- you don’t get full easily).
Peruvian Potatoes were delicious and so were the Dan Dan noodles. Everything else was really good but those stood out the most.
Both the food and service were great. I didn't need to ask for more water like I usually have to. I kept getting refills. The Tofu dish could have had more food in my opinion.
We had an amazing dinner and went into it very skeptical about how good a vegan meal could really be. Our friend recommended it and said it was one of the most amazing meals he's had and he wasn't wrong. We started with the pretzel fondue which melted in our mouths. We got the spicy dan dan noodles and tofu with lentils for the meal. The spice level was perfect on the noodles and the flavor was out of this world. Similar feelings about the tofu dish as well. For dessert we tried the strawberry shortcake and the chocolate bar. The chocolate bar was good but very very rich so we ended up liking the lightness of the basil ice cream on top of the strawberry shortcake better but if you're one for a rich dessert then definitely go for the chocolate bar. Would 100% recommend trying out Fancy Radish even if you're not vegan!
