Matchbook Monday: La Tomate, Washington DC

by Mary Jo Manzanares on February 18th, 2008

La Tomate Today’s Matchbook Monday comes from La Tomate, a family owned Italian bistro in the Dupont Circle neighborhood of Washington DC.

A friend sent me this matchbook and reminded me of many an evening we had spent there with a bottle of wine and a lively conversation.  I’m not sure that we ever had a meal there; we’d mostly stop in for a little music, conversation, and the people watching that the neighborhood is known for.

The restaurant and bar was always busy, whether from it’s location, reputation, or food, I’m not certain, and at times it could be a bit on the raucous side.  I haven’t been back for quite some time, so the matchbook was a nice reminder.

La Tomate is located at 1701 Connecticut Avenue NW in Washington DC (map it), at the triangular intersection of Connecticut, “R” and 20th NW.

It is open Monday - Wednesday, 11:30 am - 10:30 pm; Thursday, 11:30 am - 11 pm; Friday & Saturday, 11:30 am - 11:30 pm, and Sunday, 11:30 am - 10 pm.  Reservations are recommended.
