JALEO Spanish Restaurant in DC 🇪🇸

Visited JALEO today – it's super easy to find, just a short walk from the Chinatown Metro Station! 🚇🍽️ We ordered the Brunch - Jaleo Classics (two portions for two people) and had quite an interesting culinary experience! 🥘👥 The flavors overall were pretty unique and memorable! For the starters, there was a dish with fish roe on top of what looked like raw meat – we asked and learned it's called Liquid Olive – and wow, it was super super bitter! 😖🍴 Another dish featured toast topped with what seemed like mild-flavored cheese and smoked salmon, while the bread in the middle came with tomato and egg. 🥖🍅🥚 There was also a salad with fresh greens, orange slices, goat cheese, and almond flakes – if you can handle the goat cheese aroma, it's actually quite tasty! 🥗🍊🧀 One drink looked like tomato juice, topped with oil and scallions – definitely an interesting combo! 🍅🧅 One of the better dishes was the shrimp with fried potatoes and smoked meat – quite delicious! 🍤🥓🍟 We ended with dessert – a vanilla flan. It was okay, not too sweet. 🍮✨ Overall, it was worth trying once! Maybe not for everyone, but definitely a fun experience! 😄👌 #DC #JaleoWashington #Restaurant #WashingtonDC #SpanishFood #BrunchGoals #FoodieDC #DTDining #ChinatownDC #UniqueFlavors #FoodReview #DCFoodScene #TrySomethingNew #SpanishBrunch #MetroAccessible #DCGuide #FoodAdventure
