Georgetown
Mediterranean
There’s always something interesting cooking at this Turkish-Mediterranean lunch counter/carryout in a Georgetown alley. Take the gorgeous, sheet-pan-size tarts, which owner Cagla Onal tops with leek and walnut or with puntarelle, egg, and cheese. Lamb kofta with heirloom beans is a mainstay, as are stellar sandwiches stuffed with egg, smoked Gouda, and pesto, or eggplant confit. Grab a slice of chocolate cake or apple crostata, too.
