Washington City Paper: “Dim Sum, French Cocktails, and Magnum Wines Star at Bar Chinois”
September 2nd, 2021

From the Article:

Later this month you’ll be able to order a magnum of Champagne to pair with shu mai and other traditional dim sum treasures at Bar Chinois. The bar replacing Prather’s on the Alley in Mount Vernon Triangle hopes to be a neighborhood hang and boisterous brunch spot.

While Bar Chinois is a joint venture between Chef Tim Ma and general manager Margaux Donati, the original owners of Prather’s, Dean Mosones and Mark Minicucci, are also partners. They first tapped Ma to be the executive chef of their original restaurant in 2019, but the group decided during the pandemic that it was time to go in a new direction together.
