RSS FeedChina Chilcano (418 7th St NW) Opens Today For Dinner Service In Penn Quarter
China Chilcano, Jose Andres’ latest entrant offering chifa, opens for service today at 4 pm in Penn Quarter at 418 7th Street NW in Washington DC. We passed by the venue on Saturday night and Sunday; everything looks ready to go!
The menu features chifa, a Peruvian-Chinese hybrid cuisine, chifles, anticuchos, all native to Peru – you might call them Peruivan tapas which is a format well known by patrons of Jaleo just up the street. A ceviche bar, dim sum, Peruvian desserts, and an “extensive pisco library” are also available.
China Chilcano replaces the former Olsson’s bookstore and promised but never opened Wagamama whose retail space sat vacant for over six years since late June 2008 in a prominent part of lower Penn Quarter.
This is the third eatery to open recently in lower Penn Quarter below E Street NW filling a prominent stretch of 7th Street NW between the core intersection at 7th and H St NW and the National Mall. The other two are Native Foods Cafe and Plan B Burger Bar.
We officially welcome China Chilcano to Penn Quarter!
