The Childe Harold Restaurant, situated in the heart of Washington's historic Dupont Circle, has followed the ideals of fine food preparation for Washingtonians and visitors alike since 1967. Once a venue where performers like Bruce Springsteen, Emmylou Harris, and Bonnie Raitt began their careers, the Childe Harold's upstairs fine dining room now welcomes diners with an air of casual elegance. Downstairs, The Pilgrimage Pub serves the same menu in a relaxed "come as you are" bar room atmosphere. In the warmer seasons, the Childe Harold opens its popular patio dining area - a perfect place to enjoy great food and enjoy the restaurant's bird's eye view of the Circle.
