If you are around Capitol Hill's famous Eastern Market area, I highly recommend Montmartre, a tasty french bistro. The menu is much more limited than, say, Bistro Francais or Bistro du Coin, so instead of putting together a tasting menu of appetizers and salads (as I often do), one is expected to order a first course and main dish. This was inconsequential since I was starving and ordered a delicious gazpacho with avocado and feta cheese crumbles to start. The smooth avocado bits added some richness to the soup and the feta was a nice tangyness complementing the sweet tomato flavor. For a main course I had the hanger steak which came with potatoes and sauteed mushrooms. I wish I could describe the sauce it came it but it was absolutely wonderful and not overpowering. I also had a bite of my friends seared tuna and that was great as well. Montmartre is located on 7th St. SE, just blocks from the Eastern Market metro stop.
