LiLLiES Restaurant & Bar

LiLLiES, A Cozy New Neighborhood Italian-Mediterranean Restaurant & Bar in DC. This family owned-and-operated oasis restaurant, located steps away from the Woodley Park Zoo, whips together international modern cuisine- flavors and fresh ingredients to form a range of made-from-scratch meals. There's something about being a few panda lengths away from the zoo that makes us want to get back to nature then cozy up and enjoy a home-style meal at your favorite local restaurant. While Woodley Park is commonly known to tourists as the Metro stop that hosts the National Zoo, locals are being drawn to a new attraction. Just steps south of the Zoo on Connecticut Avenue, NW, nestled between two cream-colored brick residential buildings, is an understated maroon canvas awning that marks the location of an intimate local attraction: LiLLiES Restaurant and Bar. Woodley Park residents have finally found an intimate neighborhood bistro-casual that reminds them of home: a cozy and welcoming place where you long to return to enjoy your favorite dishes. LiLLiES's spacious umbrella-dotted patio is a perfect setting for a weekend brunch, midday meal, or after-work dinner and drinks as you bite into European-style paninis, wraps, and surf and turf entrées.
