I'll be in No Va/D.C. Sat - 6/28 and am looking for recs on good options in D.C. for BYOB. Obviously with a reasonable corkage and without what seems like the typical 2 bottle limit per table.

There are tons of options in DC. Preference in cuisine?

French or Spanish would be my preference. I've done a bit of research, but for a group of 8, I need a place that won't limit to number of bottles...or do they just say that but allow more on request?

For French, I'm a big fan of Le Paradou. I'm not sure their limit on BYO. Very upscale, and fantastic kitchen.

If you're around on a Monday, Lavandou in Cleveland Park offers $0 corkage with no limit. They are very BYO friendly on other evenings as well. Very small, but we've offlined there with larger groups. Definitely call ahead, especially on a Monday. Good solid Provencal kitchen.

Thanks PH,

Lavandou sounds perfect...great menu, reasonable prices and BYO friendly.

Enjoy. Look forward to your review. Their onglet with red wine sauce is very nice, fwiw....
