Set in the Waldorf Astoria Washington DC, The Bazaar is the culmination of a 30-year dream for Chef José Andrés. Drawing inspiration from this iconic location, which first opened in 1899 and served as DC’s General Post Office until 1914, The Bazaar is a multi-level destination reinvented with avant-garde and Americana-inspired decor.

    Each meal, each bite!, is full of surprises and fun! The food is inventive, expertly prepared to appeal to all the senses, often taking traditional dishes and reimaging them in unexpected forms, but always -- always -- profoundly delicious. The service is totally professional, yet friendly and casual if the server senses that's the vibe the guests are in. One of our party had a allergy to garlic, and our server was careful to check with the kitchen to make sure no garlic was included in any of his dishes, and came back and flagged one of his dishes, giving him a chance to change his order. The setting is breathtaking, in the atrium of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, elegant but not fussy or ornate, just right. I strongly recommend Bazaar to anyone for a special occasion. The portions are not big, you don't leave over-full, but leave both satisfied and still excited on the trip José has taken you on. The experience is even more fun than the quality of the food.

    Venue, ambiance were gorgeous. Service was excellent. The food was good, but so over salted some of it was hard to eat, including and especially the bread. To us that made the price hard to be enthusiastic about ($400+ with tip for 3 people). Some of the entrees were really good, but the salt was a problem.

    The experience was fantastic. Every dish that came out was an elevation over the last. And if you’re lucky enough to have Les as your server you’re in for a great time.

    Incredible experience. Interesting menu with delightful choices. A little noisy but due to how loud the TVs were (for inauguration), no surprise. Ordered both desserts, incredible.
