Scotts DC, DC’s new British import will be serving lunch starting at noon. Chef Will Artley has perfected the art of the Scotch egg, which involves an egg, rolled in sausage, then deep fried. It is golden brown and crispy on the outside with a deliciously runny yolk on the inside, and absolutely delicious. Pick a plush corner seat at the bar and a dram of single-cask spirits from the Scotch Malt Whisky Society and have a lovely, Londonesque way to spend a Monday. 927 F Street NW.
