After winning over foodies in Alexandria and Arlington, a lauded DMV restaurant is preparing to bring the flavors of Russia and Uzbekistan to DC. The aptly named RusUz is making moves towards opening a location on Pennsylvania Avenue, as evidenced by a recent liquor license application.
The restaurant is bringing authentic cuisine to the storefront that previously housed La Perla at 2600 Pennsylvania Ave, NW. Paperwork filed with the Alcoholic Beverage and Cannabis Administration shows that RusUz will have seating for up to 130 guests inside with a total capacity of 161 visitors. The concept requested a summer garden endorsement with 20 seats and a total capacity of 30.
The form further establishes RusUz’s hours of operation as Sunday, from 12 pm to 9 pm, closed on Monday, Tuesday through Thursday from 12 pm to 9 pm, and from 12 pm to 10 pm on Friday and Saturday.
RusUz is sure to bring a special spark to the DC dining scene; as the website explains: “Here we try to bring our vision of traditional Uzbek and Russian dinning to the Washington DC area. Our mission is to provide a unique customer experience while introducing you to our cuisine. “Rus Uz”, how did we come up with that name? Our cuisine is a mixture of both Russian and Uzbek dishes, allowing you to have a taste of the old-world right in the Washington DC area.”
