Poplar
Poplar is a New American restaurant at 701 Kennedy St NW in Brightwood Park (20011). Reviewers describe a roughly 24-seat corner dining room serving a vegetarian prix fixe menu.
It holds a 4.9-star rating across 60 Google reviews. The menu changes weekly and is built around local, seasonal and sometimes foraged ingredients. Dishes reviewers mention include grilled beets with shallot soubise, fava beans, garlic scape pesto and the bread. Reviewers also praise the house-made wines and ciders and describe it as filling even without meat. It is on the expensive side, and one reviewer says it is a bit hard to get to.
Dinner only, Thursday through Saturday. Reviewers recommend reservations given the small room. Google lists a wheelchair-accessible restroom and seating.
