DMV｜A Michelin-Star Team’s Asian Fusion Brunch Full of Surprises! ✨

Haven’t had such an interesting brunch in a long time! This cozy spot tucked away in the Falls Church neighborhood is created by the founding team behind DC’s Michelin-starred Rooster & Owl. 🐓🦉 You’ll find lots of Asian influences in the dishes, along with French, Mexican, and New American twists—a style that even friends visiting from China would love! 🇨🇳🍽️ The brunch vibe is warm and sunny—perfect with sunlight streaming in! ☀️😊 • 🍳 Tornado Omelet Omelet shaped like a tornado 🌪️, served over kimchi fried rice with bits of Chinese sausage. Feels like a must-order for every table! 🥢🔥 🍠 Purple Sweet Potato Latte Pretty, tasty, and not too sweet 💜☕ The purple sweet potato flavor is subtle but lovely~ 🥞 PB&J Stuffed French Toast Peanut butter × blueberry jam × coconut condensed milk—how could it not be delicious? 🥜🍇🥥 Crispy outside, soft inside, with a gooey center—feels like a French toast version of Hong Kong-style “silk stocking milk tea toast”! Super satisfying! 💖 🦆 Confit Duck Hash Caramelized onions, diced potatoes, sunny-side-up egg, and shredded confit duck 🥔🍳🦆 Served with a Mexican-inspired hazelnut salsa macha—tastes just like Lao Gan Ma spicy chili crisp! 🌶️😋 Super fragrant, street-food vibes—though it does get quite oily by the end. • I’ve never been that interested in Rooster & Owl, honestly. After trying various Michelin spots in DC, it’s easy to spend a lot and still be disappointed 💸😅 But this place feels different—reasonably priced, relaxed atmosphere, and the food exceeds expectations. A simple, satisfying meal! 👍 📍 Ellie Bird 125 Founders Ave, Falls Church, VA 22046 🅿️ Use code “ellie50” for 2 hours of free parking in the Founder’s Row garage! 🚗💨 #WashingtonDC #DMV #DMVFood #WashingtonDCEats #LifeInTheUS #BrunchGoals #LocalExpert #HiddenGem #LocalEats #DMVFoodReview #AsianFusion #CozyBrunch #MichelinInspired #FoodieFind #NoVAEats #ComfortFood #WeekendVibes #SunnyBrunch #MustTry
