While the politicians enjoy their lunches in the stodgy old steak houses of DC, there are three great spots that I enjoyed while visiting that offered fresh, healthy and tasty food in casual environments. Nando’s Peri Peri 819 7th St NW, Washington, DC 20001 (additional locations in DC, Maryland and Virginia) Being an international city, there are so many cultures to experience in DC. One international favorite spot is Nando’s and their Peri Peri chicken. Nando’s was born in 1987 in South Africa and now has restaurants in 34 countries. The legendary, Portuguese, flame-grilled, Peri Peri chicken uses the freshest (never frozen) chicken that is marinated for 24 hours and as delicious as it sounds.

Known as Eden Center, this suburban complex has been growing into the East Coast capital of Vietnamese immigrant culture for almost 40 years.  The Eden Center is Northern Virginia’s premier Asian center containing approximately 120 stores and is located on Wilson Boulevard at Seven Corners in Fall Church, Virginia. It also marks the spot for a treasure trove of Vietnamese food. Restaurants, bakeries, and provision stores handily outnumber the handful of jewelry shops, book stands, and bars that dot the winding hallways and storefronts of the complex.

One of the many talked about restaurants at Eden Center is Rice Paper, where we decided to stay for dinner. If you want food that is flavorful, well prepared and fresh, in a chic environment, Rice Paper is the right fit for you.
