The group behind Dubai’s three-Michelin-star Trèsind Studio has signed a lease for two restaurant concepts in downtown Washington DC. Passion F&B plans to bring Trèsind and Revelry to roughly 9,000 square feet at 601 13th Street NW, above Metro Center.
The project would be the hospitality group’s first U.S. expansion. One space is planned as modern Indian fine dining; the other as a more casual cocktail and small-plates destination.
Trèsind and Revelry DC: Quick facts
What are Trèsind and Revelry?
Trèsind is Passion F&B’s modern Indian fine-dining concept. The Washington version is expected to translate the group’s polished tasting-menu style for a downtown audience, but a menu and price structure have not been released.
Revelry is planned as a separate tapas-and-cocktail bar. The pairing gives the project two different reasons to visit: one for a longer special-occasion meal and another for drinks and smaller plates.
The important Michelin distinction
Trèsind Studio in Dubai holds three Michelin stars. The announced Washington restaurants are Trèsind and Revelry, not a relocation of Trèsind Studio and not restaurants that already have Michelin stars in DC.
Same parent group, different concepts
The Michelin recognition belongs to Trèsind Studio in Dubai. It signals the level of culinary ambition behind Passion F&B, but Michelin awards do not transfer to a new restaurant or city.
Where will the two DC restaurants open?
The lease is at 601 13th Street NW in the Homer Building, steps from Metro Center. The restaurant space was formerly occupied by Banana Republic.
The location puts the project near downtown offices, hotels, museums and multiple Metro lines. It also gives the group a large street-level footprint for two connected but distinct concepts.
What the pending alcohol-license filing shows
A DC alcohol notice lists Passion FNB Homer LLC under the trade name Trèsind & Revelry. The pending Class C Tavern application proposes 200 seats and a maximum occupancy of 300, with entertainment requested.
The filing lists maximum requested alcohol-service hours of 6 a.m. to 2 a.m. Sunday through Thursday and 6 a.m. to 3 a.m. Friday and Saturday. Those are license limits, not confirmed customer hours. The restaurants may operate on a much narrower schedule.
When will Trèsind and Revelry open in DC?
The group has been targeting winter, but it has not announced a firm public opening date. The alcohol application is still pending, and construction, inspections, staffing and licensing can all affect the schedule.
The next reliable signals will be an official opening announcement, reservations going live and final hours posted by Passion F&B.
