Shouk

Washington DC

Vegan and Vegetarian Restaurant

$$$$

Good food fast: that’s the impetus behind DC's Shouk, a Middle Eastern-inspired, vegetable-focused restaurant. All the dishes, from vegetable- or legume-stuffed pitas to polenta fries and beet salad, are plant-based. Even the labneh, a traditional Lebanese dairy spread, is made from fermented cashews. The counter-serve space might be conducive to a casual lunch, but tap wine and craft beer on the menu make it dinner-appropriate as well.
