International Dining in DC : FIGS

Fine Foods
Lebanese Cuisine

4828 Macathur Blvd.  NW
Washington DC




Not your traditional Lebanese restaurant, Figs offers a wide selection of healthy comfort foods adapted from a variety of international cuisines.  Reem Azoury, a Lebanese American, opened the restaurant in 2005 with the aim of sharing the delicious Lebanese dishes she watched her grandmother cook as a child.  She also wanted to make room for the British cuisine she fell in love with while attending boarding school in London, the Mediterranean foods she enjoyed on her travels, and the eclectic approach to cooking she developed in the United States.  Figs cuisine reflects Reem's international background while also focusing on healthy, vegetarian options.

A home away from home, Figs is a comfortable, friendly place to sit down alone or with friends and enjoy the warmth of the staff and savor the ingredients of a home cook meal.  From the moment you step into this little hide-away on MacArthur Blvd, you will want to come back again and again.  Come in for a bowl of 
Reem's gourmet soup and flip through her favorite collection of cookbooks, read a newspaper, sign up for a cooking 
class or, better yet, have a feast!







I had meatballs and a two small sides one was beets and a little salad.
