Shaw Bijou Menu: A Glimpse into the World of Fine Dining

As the Shaw Bijou cocktail pop-up prepares to open its doors at Central on October 1, food enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting a taste of what's in store. For those willing to splurge, the 185 tasting menu with drink pairings is an option. However, for those looking for something more affordable, paying $14 per drink might be a better choice.

Shaw Bijou, located at 1544 9th St NW, Washington, D.C., has gained attention thanks to its unique approach to fine dining. Chef Ellish, who joins forces with chef Onwuachi, promises an unforgettable culinary experience.

In an exclusive interview, Ellish shares the secret behind Shaw Bijou's menu innovation: taking a base dish and tweaking it slightly. This approach allows for creativity while staying grounded in traditional flavors.

Interestingly, both Ellish and Onwuachi take a similar approach to cooking, which might explain why their prices are relatively affordable compared to other establishments of its caliber. 'Anything you'll get at Shaw Bijou you can get for a third of the price,' Ellish reveals.

Ellish's culinary journey began in the low country cuisine scene, while his counterpart Onwuachi focuses on modern American from the South. Despite their different backgrounds, they share a strong friendship and commitment to delivering exceptional dining experiences.

The Shaw Bijou's success is largely attributed to its founders' passion for food and camaraderie. As Ellish puts it, 'Garret and I are very good friends.' Their partnership has resulted in a unique culinary experience that promises to delight even the most discerning palates.

With its grand opening set for November, Shaw Bijou is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated restaurants in Washington, D.C. Foodies and cocktail enthusiasts alike can look forward to a world-class dining experience that won't break the bank.
