Anxo looks and feels as if the Spanish countryside has taken up residence in DC. It's all about cider—house-made, plus varieties from England and Spain—small plates, and a casual stand-and-snack vibe. Downstairs, the bar and wood casks lend a fun, traditional flair, while upstairs has an industrial-meets-rustic appearance. This is what Basque does best—pintxos (bite-sized offerings) may include marinated mussels, bacalao fritters, oyster mushroom-stuffed piquillos, chistorra sausage, and aged Manchego. The local heirloom tomato salad with shaved onion is simply delicious. Stuffed txipiron (squid) is set over caramelized onions, while the onaga (red snapper) escabeche, grilled à la plancha, rests in a deliciously tart marinade.
