2941 Restaurant
The upscale Falls Church restaurant is normally closed on Sundays, but not on Easter. Chef Bertrand Chemel and his team have developed a special three-course menu ($78) for the holiday with service starting at 11 a.m. Expect spring dishes like an elevated shrimp cocktail with lemon zest and tomato foam; jumbo white asparagus with zucchini blossom tempura; and risotto with braised morels and pea shoots; plus traditional Easter options such as a duo of Elysian Fields Farm lamb. Good luck choosing only one of pastry chef Nick Pine’s gorgeous desserts. The options include carrot cake with cream-cheese mousse; orange marmalade and coconut sorbet; and chocolate crème brûlée with chocolate alfajores, a South America cookie traditionally filled with dulce de leche.
