Driving back to Washington, D.C. for a nearby retreat, we stopped at for lunch Horn O Plenty, a restaurant and market inside a quaint wooden building with an outdoor patio. Here’s our experience.
1) Food: Being a “freshraunt,” the menu includes better-for-you options, salads, and even gluten-free options.
I enjoyed the bowl of cream of mushroom soup, which comes with two pieces of buttered bread. (Ask for jam for the bread.) Despite being a bowl, it’s not super filling so the cheeses potatoes (beer cheese comes on top of the potatoes) was a perfect compliment.
My seven-year-old daughter appreciated the kids menu and enjoyed the grilled cheese.
2) Drinks: They have handmade sodas, coffee drinks, and more. If you have a sweet tooth, order the vanilla bean iced coffee.
3) Space: It’s well decorated, quaint, and the little market has some gems in it- maple syrup, pickled garlic scapes, “zing butter,” and more.
4) Service: It’s friendly, but slow. The restaurant had a healthy flow, but wasn’t packed and it took a long time for us to get our order.
