It goes without saying that we love to discover new restaurants. Hell, we’ve devoted an entire website to writing about food. Apart from the joy of discovery, though, I sometimes feel like kicking myself after enjoying a good meal at a previously untried spot. It may be stupid, but sometimes I think to myself, man, how could we have missed out on this for so many years? Think of all the meals we could have been enjoying here during all that time! I guess we’ll have to make up for it now by visiting like a hundred times over the next few months. This is roughly how I felt after our recent visit to Brabo Restaurant in Old Town Alexandria.

Over on our Restaurants Page, we just posted our review of this spot for classic French cuisine. The food was exceptional, and the cocktails, if it’s possible, were even more so. We tried about half the menu, so go check out our full review to see just how much we loved this old world, Old Town gem.
