When you make the trek to The Inn at Little Washington in Northern Virginia just outside of D.C., you should be ready to pay for an unforgettable meal.
The Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star restaurant offers a trio of four-course tasting menus, each costing $218. Choose from a menu of vegetarian dishes, restaurant classics or seasonal “here and now” selections. For the same price, The Inn at Little Washington also allows you to pick four dishes to make up your own tailored tasting menu.
To see chef Patrick O’Connell and his team create the culinary magic up close, there are two kitchen tables. The top-notch location in the bright, busy kitchen flanking a fireplace will cost you a $595 surcharge per table.
If you want to add on wine pairings from the 14,000-bottle cellar, accompanying pours will be an additional $125. And if you crave a cocktail, they can be ordered à la carte for between $14 and $18.
Beverages, gratuity and taxes are not included in any of the prices.
