Purple Patch 3155 Mount Pleasant Street Northwest, Washington, District of Columbia 20010

"Purple patch is one of my favorite restaurants in DC. My husband and I have been coming here for years. We live in Silver Spring and during covid I would come pick up carry out so we could get our fix. We love the streetery set up and ate outside even in the cold in coats under the heat lamps! Last night, I brought my best friends and they also loved it! The service has been consistently good even during covid when things were rough. We had Matt as our server last night and he was great-friendly and attentive. The menu has a great selection of food and they also have well balanced cocktails (their Filipino espresso martini is must try!). My favorites dishes from our multiple visits over the years are the lumpia, wings, adobo sliders, the fried chicken adobo, both the snapper dishes, and the Bicol express. I also love the Achara papaya salad with the ginger punches -it comes with the fried chicken and is a great combo. I can’t leave purple patch without getting the bread pudding with the ube ice cream. Last night my friends and I had the halo halo which was so refreshing and an amazing combo of textures and flavors. The icing on the cake is that it was presented to us by chef Patrice herself! You can truly see the passion she has for her craft when she described the dish and that truly made me feel at home. I hope Purple Patch continues to flourish- already can’t wait for my next trip back!"

"We got their spicy adobo entree, pork belly sisig, lumpia and fried eggplant. Everything was very delicious and highly recommend it. We went there for our anniversary and they gave us ube bread pudding and ice cream on the house, which was fantastic. The cocktail drinks were also fantastic. I’d definitely order that! Highly recommend this place! Make this a must stop in DC!"

"Friendly service and really good authentic Filipino food. The lumpia, lechon kawali, and adobos are all fantastic (especially the beef short rib adono--cut it with a spoon tender). And the desserts were fantastic. Go with four people and get the dessert sampler. You'll be happy you did."

"Every dish here that we ordered was absolutely amazing. Really great food. The atmosphere was chill and the wait was not long when we went around 1pm for 7. The service was nothing to complain about. The only difficult thing was having QR menus when there is no phone service and the WiFi did not work great."

"What a fun place to hang out! Everything was wonderful! The drinks, food, service and atmosphere were perfect! I loved the large amount of vegetarian options. The mulled cider with spiced rum was yummy! I can tell locals hang out there frequently. Our waiter was fun and he told us they do brunch on weekdays, so I’ll definitely be back! There’s basic street parking nearby if you’re lucky. Such a fun place!"
