Restaurant Nora
Many of these rooms are perfect for private lunches, business meetings or parties and our special events director, Camilla Rothwell would be delighted to help you with any questions that you may have. In April 1999, Restaurant Nora became America's first certified organic restaurant. This means that 95% or more of everything that you eat at the restaurant has been produced by certified organic growers and farmers all who share in Nora's commitment to sustainable agriculture. Nora always offers seasonal, fresh organic food, prepared in a healthy, balanced way and enjoys a "big following" of environmentalists and politicians, who can eat here with a clear conscience, knowing that what's on their plate hasn't polluted the environment, is healthy for them, and tastes good too. Nora offers a special chef's tasting menu, which is perfectly accompanied by a spectacular choice of wines from our award winning wine list, featuring over 100 exceptional wines from small wine producers. Grass-fed beef, free-range chickens, creamy hand-made goat cheeses, juicy heirloom tomatoes, fresh picked wild mushrooms, and local applewood smoked trout are some of the ingredients we prepare daily when in season. Open Monday-Saturday Private luncheons & Sunday openings by appointment Located at Florida and R Street, NW, just north of Dupont Circle |
Originally constructed in the 19th century as a grocery store, the main dining room has been artistically transformed and decorated with a collection of museum quality antique Mennonite and Amish crib quilts. Here or in our Wine Library with its unique Wine Cellar, the Garden Room, Gallery or Parlor you can enjoy elegant dining in a relaxed intimate setting. The eclectic menu, which changes daily, serves organic new-American cuisine in Nora's own creative style.
