Easter Sunday falls on April 5 this year — and the best tables across DC, Maryland, and Virginia are filling up fast.
I just added 4 more below! The DMV area delivers one of the strongest Easter dining scenes in the country, with prix fixe brunches, waterfront buffets, family egg hunts, and adults-only wine garden parties all happening the same weekend. From five-star hotel ballrooms in Georgetown to neighborhood restaurants in Arlington and Bethesda, this list covers 30 venues where you can sit down, celebrate, and actually enjoy the holiday. Prices range from $35 per child at a kids’ pizza-making class in McLean to $210 per person at a rooftop overlooking the White House — and everything in between.
Families with kids will find Easter Bunny photo ops, egg hunts on grand lawns, and children’s buffets with mac and cheese and chicken tenders. Couples and friend groups looking for something more spirited will find bottomless mimosa programs, live jazz, and an adults-only spring fling at a Georgia Avenue wine garden. Several restaurants — including Lutèce, Northside Social, and Timber Pizza — are offering limited-run Easter specials that won’t be repeated, so these are worth acting on quickly.
Reservations are already waitlisted at some of the most popular spots, including Sequoia’s waterfront brunch in Georgetown. Every venue on this list accepts advance bookings online, and many require deposits or prepayment. If you see something you like, do not wait — Easter tables in this city go fast!
