A single door marks the entrance to minibar by José Andrés, a culinary destination that transcends its name. Guests may begin with a glass of champagne in the lounge before settling at the chef's counter, which wraps around the stainless-steel workspace. The team, led by head chef Sarah Ravitz, displays passion, skill, and technical expertise, crafting an imaginative and progressive tasting menu designed to thrill the senses. Whimsy is a driving force, delightfully rendered in unexpected textures and tastes. Minibar, a recipient of two Michelin stars, blends art, science, tradition, and technique to push the boundaries of what is possible with food. The spirit of El Bulli lives on in DC, with modernist techniques resulting in delightfully wacky textures and taste experiences.
