Root Cafe

the Market District, Washington, District of Columbia

Dinner that knows where it came from.

Tucked into the Market District, Root Cafe is Washington's kind of casual table, warm, unfussy, and built around whatever the local growers are harvesting that week. Led by chef Hana Whitfield.

Where this kitchen shops

We would rather drive to the farm than order from a warehouse, so we do.

• Stonewall Farm supplies grass-fed beef
• Hillside Farm supplies seasonal produce
