The Luxe Table: Brunch at The Lafayette, Hay-Adams D.C.

Luxury in the nation’s capital is perfectly embodied by the Hay-Adams, a property where history, elegance, and service converge. During my visit, I indulged in a lovely brunch at its fine-dining restaurant, The Lafayette.

From the braised merguez sausage with delicately poached eggs served in a warm skillet to the indulgent Lafayette Eggs Royale, each dish was a masterclass in flavor and presentation. Every bite reflected the precision and artistry of Executive Chef Nicolas Legret, whose commitment to excellence ensures the menu is as distinguished as the setting.

It’s the kind of place where conversation flows, the coffee stays fresh, and every detail is considered. For those seeking a refined brunch in Washington, D.C., The Lafayette at the Hay-Adams offers an experience that lingers long after the last sip of champagne.
