Accented with vintage crib quilts and elegant artwork, this well-received restaurant is a strong proponent of organic foods. Its sophisticated approach to cuisine emphasizes top-quality meats and produce and fresh, in-season seafood. Nora boasts a lovely, romantic ambience, perfect for indulging in roasted Amish pork shoulder with adzuki beans, or lemon balm-crusted lamb rack with chickpea puree. And of course, it doesn't hurt that chef-owner Nora Pouillon is often applauded for her culinary creativity and environmental efforts. METRO: Dupont Circle
