Fat Canary

Top choice in Virginia


The best restaurant in the historic triangle, this friendly and stylish place offers top-notch service, excellent wines and a menu of Modern American cuisine with Asian and Italian accents. We love the fact that local produce is a focus, that orders of half serves are possible and that the list of wine by the glass features interesting choices.
