Guide Review - Dupont Grille Restaurant Review - Jurys Washington Hotel
The menu has lots of variety and something for everyone. For lunch, choices include grilled chicken and Portobello panini with basil pesto and brie cheese; smoked duck and cranberry salad with goat cheese, port wine reduction and pumpkin seed oil and a new signature dish, Dupont Sliders, three mini slider burgers made with certified angus beef, topped individually with Brie, Maytag blue cheese and smoked gouda.
Dupont Grille’s dinner entrees showcase seasonal flavors with dishes such as a grilled half chicken with mashed sweet potatoes, apple, red curry chutney and asparagus; braised lamb shank served on mushroom risotto with basil pesto and braising jus as well as venison chop with polenta corn custard, broccolini, and sun-dried tomato demi glaze. Home-made desserts include molten chocolate cake served with fresh whipped cream and berries; fried banana cheesecakes served with ginger ice cream and caramel sauce, and a trio of specialty sorbets.
The Dupont Grille is open for breakfast, lunch, dinner and Sunday Brunch. The main dining room, including outside patio and bar, can accommodate 125. A private party room is also available to accommodate 50.
