Old Town Alexandria’s Tummy Tamers and Quaint Quenchers

brick walk ways of Old Town Alexandria VA

Old Town Alexandria is famous for many things: its quaint 18th Century architecture, its many shops and boutiques, the waterfront and Torpedo Factory. But Old Town is also well known for its many diverse restaurants.

The bustling brick walkways of Old Town are framed by dozens of of establishments to quench your thirst or offer a bite to eat. Sweet treats are found at the ice cream shops and candy shops, and a cold drink can be purchased at an old fashioned public house. Traditional colonial fare is found at Gadsby’s Tavern and elsewhere.

If you’re in the mood for something different it’s easy to find ethnic cuisine from India, Vietnam, Ireland, the Mediterranean, the Middle East, France, China and more. Do you prefer seafood and fine dining on linen table cloths? Or are you in the mood for a juicy burger and brown paper bag full of fresh-cut fries from one of Five Guy’s first locations. Perhaps you’re in the mood for something trendy and bright, or dinner theatre?

It’s easy to access Old Town via the King St. Metro and the Trolley and there are several convenient parking garages near the heart of Old Town. For my part, I have a hard time choosing from so many great restaurants, so I often let the parking decide. That is, I don’t look for a restaurant, instead I look for a parking spot and then there is surely a great place wherever I park. I was curious just how many places are right here in Old Town and here’s the list I came up with.
