The Restaurant

Since our early days as a tea room in the 1920’s, The Tabard Inn has been a staple in the DC restaurant scene. While the storied walls of the Tabard—covered in art around every corner—hold many memories and offer a peek into DC’s history, our culinary team serves modern, creative dishes. Our menu changes frequently with the seasons, as we strive to support local farmers and purveyors across the Mid-Atlantic region. These days the kitchen is led by Chef Pepe Moncayo, who earned a Michelin star at Cranes before coming to the Tabard. He’s less interested in the spotlight than in what this place calls for—familiar, humble dishes like hush puppies and fried chicken, cooked with real care. Tradition is a big deal to us, so you can still find some of the beloved dishes that have been served at the Tabard Inn for years.
