Set in the Waldorf Astoria Washington DC, The Bazaar is the culmination of a 30-year dream for Chef José Andrés. Drawing inspiration from this iconic location, which first opened in 1899 and served as DC’s General Post Office until 1914, The Bazaar is a multi-level destination reinvented with avant-garde and Americana-inspired decor.

    NYE tasting menu was decent but overpriced for what it was. Not a lot of creativity in the dishes; it seems like the chefs justified the cost by adding caviar on half of the dishes. Service was inconsistent; server was not very attentive even though the restaurant was mostly empty toward the end of the night

    Great experience at The Bazaar for lunch. Our server, Carlos, was informative, gracious, and efficient. He doubled as the bartender and made us exquisite Mezcal Old Fashioneds. Food was truly tasty, accompanied with in-depth explanations, courtesy of an exceptional wait staff. Definitely try the oysters, patatas bravas, and the burger!

    overpriced and underwhelming food. the $24 "taco" is a joke and should be removed from the menu. Drinks and ambience are great. The food menu needs a total revamp.
