The chef's Bazaar will open later this year after canceling a previous project inside the city's historic Old Post Office.
“I first dreamed of opening a restaurant at the Old Post Office back in 1993 when I first came to DC,” Andrés said in a statement. “Nearly three decades later, I am building that dream into a reality, and couldn’t be more excited to bring my beloved Bazaar restaurant right here to DC in this beautiful historic location.”Associated Press
The Bazaar is a Spanish-style restaurant from Andrés, who already has several other spots in the nation’s capital, including Jaleo, China Chilcano and the Michelin-starred Minibar. It first opened in Los Angeles in 2008 with a nod to the Spanish avant garde cuisine Andrés learned from his mentor. The LA location closed during the pandemic, but there are now outposts in Miami and New York.
Andrés has a long history with the Old Post Office building and its former tenant. His decision to step back from opening a restaurant in the Trump Hotel resulted in a two-year-long legal dispute with the Trump Organization. The two partiesNow Andrés will take over the space formerly home to BLT Prime, the only restaurant Trump would dine out at during his presidency.
