Banana Café & Piano Bar
(Restaurants - Latin American)
500 8th St SE, Washington  20003 • 202-543-5906
Distance: ~3.43 mi from The Fairmont Washington, D.C.
        Description: This sunny café surrounds diners with vibrant art, lively music, and loads of fun. Inspired by the cuisines of Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Caribbean, the menu offers tropical dishes that bring customers back for more. The signature, ropa vieja, combines torn beef with onions, peppers, tomatoes, and plantains; its zesty flavor is quintessentially Cuban. You'll also find sizzling fajitas, a chunky seafood stew, and carnitas, a spicy dish made with pork and oranges. During happy hour, you can listen to the piano bar's live music while munching chips and salsa. The plentiful Sunday brunch buffet is very popular, too.
