Restaurants Open For Christmas Day 2019 Around Washington DC

WASHINGTON, DC — Christmas is the most wonderful — and arguably the most stressful — time of the year. You have to prepare the meal, wrap the presents, clean the house, and force your kids to wear those itchy Santa sweaters your aunt Debbie made in time for Christmas dinner.

And while Patch can't wrap your gifts or make your kids listen, we can at least tell you which restaurants are open on Dec. 25. According to Open Table, there are plenty of restaurants in the area that will be open that evening. However, you'd better go ahead and book your tables now: they could fill up quickly and leave you cranky on Christmas. You don't want that.

Here is a sampling of restaurants in DC that will be open for business:

• Via Sophia
• Sushi Gakyu
• Opaline Bar and Brasserie
• Cherry at W Hotel DC
• Fire & Sage
• Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse
• Fogo de Chao
