Jônt

Located in Washington DC, two-Michelin-starred Jont is a boutique 16-seat counter restaurant serving a Japanese-inspired, 15-course tasting menu. Chef-owner Ryan Ratino constructs his dishes around some of the world’s rarest and most luxurious ingredients, from wagyu beef and foie gras to kaluga caviar, Miyazaki mango and the elusive ishidai fish. It’s a place where Ratino and his team claim to “challenge the seasons, navigate beyond the limits of time and break with tradition—getting playful with process and tricky with techniques at the intersection of place and possibility.”
