Finding a table for brunch in Dupont Circle without a reservation should be an Olympic Sport, and although we can’t guarantee you a coveted mid-morning seat, you have a pretty good chance of having a Bloody Mary in hand within a few minutes of walking into Le Sel. The Kimpton Banneker Hotel’s restaurant is a solidly reliable place to grab brunch when you haven’t made reservations or don’t feel like waiting a long time for a table. And don’t overthink it—French staples like pain perdu and croque monsieur with a side of frites is what it’s all about.
