I've been here twice once after my graduation and once for valentine's with my ...
Jula's on the Potomac
A really nice place to drink with small plates. Their food is great, they offer charcuterie & tapas. It can get pretty loud at night.
I recommend:
Paella Salvaje
Gambas Al Ajillo
Charred Pulpo
Hanger Steak
Barcelona Wine Bar
I've been to this restaurant about 2-3 times and it's been great every time. Service is always amazing and everything on the menu is just 🤌🤌 But it can get busy & loud during dinner time so make a reservation or avoid that time if you want a qu...

Cafe
As a person that loves cafe & books, this place is just so peaceful and relaxing. I want to gatekeep this place but it's such a nice place to just drink some coffee, read a book, plan things out, etc..
The Potter's House Café & Bookstore
I lived in burke for more than 10 years, this cafe opened up recently and it's a cozy little place to grab a drink and a sandwich. Inside is not too big so I won't recommend if you're trying to study/work.
Their drinks are pretty good but their best...
Lil Cow Cafe Bistro
So this place is more of a brunch spot, it's a sit-down restaurant type of place but it's a really nice place to get something small and sweet with a drink, talk with a friend. I would just say avoid morning/lunch times especially on weekends because...
Chloez Cafe

You can also find few Korean items here but they're mostly Japanese items.
They also have a small food bar where yo...
Marufuji Japanese Market
This place is lovely during Christmas. There are so many places you can shop, eat, drink. But just the atmosphere is very nice. There are always a lot of people so just be mindful of that. Walk around the shops and go towards the waterfront!
Georgetown Shops
I looove this place! It's so pretty and just a great place to walk while looking at different shops, restaurants, cafes, etc. A lot of people have prom or wedding photo shoots here and they all look great too.
Occoquan Historic District
If you want a small getaway that's not too far, Mount Vernon is the perfect place.
I'm not talking about going to actual George Washington's house but the picnic area next to Potomac River.
It's a very peaceful place to take a walk or have a picnic...
Mount Vernon Belle Haven Picnic
This is a pretty well known spot, it's a park in Arlington where you can see planes fly right above you. The have couple food trucks, there's 1-2 grills where you can have bbq. The only downside is they only have porta potty for bathrooms.
Gravelly Point Park
