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. Our Executive won the 2024 Washington City Paper’s “Best Of” award for Best Chef in DC. 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. Click here to see our menu.
To experience the Tabard Inn properly, you’ll need to be fueled by the wanderer’s spirit. Throughout the building, and up and down the stairs, you’ll discover tucked-away tables, cozy corners, and ample space to gather with friends for any celebration.
Reserve a special space for your private party, dinner, or gathering.

Born and raised in Chicago, Sarah began working in the restaurant industry when she was 16. Following her time at the University of Illinois in Champaign Urbana, Sarah worked as an operations manager of a local food distribution company, but she missed the pace of working in restaurants. Sarah found her way back into the kitchen as a sous chef. In August 2023, Sarah joined our talented kitchen team, where she is excited to share her passions with our guests.
