What a night for Alexandria’s restaurant scene.
At the 2026 RAMMY Awards, Alexandria restaurants stepped into the spotlight as some of the best in the DMV hospitality world gathered to celebrate the chefs, managers, service teams, beverage pros, restaurants, and industry leaders who keep the region dining, gathering, and celebrating.
Andy’s Pizza (107 N. Fayette Street) took home Fast Casual Restaurant of the Year, while Juan Ramirez of Bastille Brasserie & Bar (606 N. Fayette Street) won Manager of the Year — two major wins for Alexandria on one of the region’s biggest restaurant nights.
And Alexandria’s strong showing did not stop there. Todd Hunt of Oak Steakhouse Alexandria was also a finalist for Manager of the Year. Matt & Tony's All Day Kitchen + Bar was recognized in the Best Brunch of the Year category. Call Your Mother Deli and Andy’s Pizza were both finalists for Fast Casual Restaurant of the Year.
The 44th Annual RAMMY Awards celebration unfolded across Arena Stage and The Anthem at The Wharf, with finalists proudly wearing purple ribbons, guests dressed to the nines, confetti, cheers, champagne, food, music, and plenty of emotional acceptance speeches.
For Alexandria, the night was another sign that the city’s restaurant reputation continues to grow well beyond our borders.
