Washingtonian: Michelin Adds 16 New Restaurants to Its DC Dining Guide

Last year, Michelin began gradually adding restaurants to its city guides versus their usual highly-anticipated annual reveals for Bib Gourmand (“good value”) and Michelin star recipients. The restaurants are still eligible for those accolades, as well as the less-prestigious “plate” awards given to all others. After announcing four new additions in December—Caribbean spot Bammy’s in Navy Yard, the Wharf’s modern Vietnamese Moon Rabbit, New Orleans-style Dauphine’s downtown, and plant-based Oyster Oyster in Shaw—Michelin has added 16 new names. The full 2022 selection with the big winners will be announced Wednesday, May 4.
