Armstrong’s upbringing in Ireland,
supplemented by exposure to European culinary traditions during
childhood travels to Spain,
Italy
and especially France,
inform the American cuisine he prepares at this Alexandria,
Virginia, standout. Already a young restaurateur in his native
Dublin, Armstrong moved stateside where he refined his skills
in a handful of high-profile DC kitchens, including Gabriel
and Bistro
Bis. With Restaurant
Eve, Armstrong and wife-partner Meshelle Armstrong, who
designed the restaurant, have created a showcase for his inspired
cooking, either via his Chef’s Tasting Room or the more
informal Bistro. We applaud Armstrong’s breakthrough
success, and hope Virginians know how lucky they are indeed. |
