Do you consider yourself a fan of the Lord Of The Rings trilogy? If so, we’ve got some wonderful news for you! You can escape to Middle Earth right here in Virginia when you set foot inside Bilbo Baggins Restaurant and Wine Bar in Alexandria. This delightfully quirky and cozy two-floor restaurant is nothing short of a hidden gem in Old Town. Here’s more on why you won’t mind passing an hour or two at this Tolkien-inspired eatery.
Located just a stone's throw from the Potomac River of Old Town, Alexandria, Bilbo Baggins Restaurant is a hobbit-approved place to gather for a meal and drink.
Step inside the restaurant and you'll discover a charming gathering place where friends and family are celebrated along with locally sourced food and delicious mead.
The owners of the restaurant, who happen to be Tolkien fans, noticed that the interior of the building was just as comfortable and familiar as you might expect Bilbo's home to be.
It didn't take long for the theme of the restaurant to really take off. The drink menu, for instance, features a "Dark and Stormy in Mordor," that will help you get through even the most frightful weather in Mordor.
One of the most popular options is the gourmet 10-inch pizza. You can't go wrong with Gandalf's Pie, which features
tomato, mozzarella, salami, prosciutto, fresh herbs and lots of cheese.
So whether you've stumbled in for a quick bite or happen to be celebrating a festive occasion with those you love most, you'll feel right at home at Bilbo Baggins Restaurant.
Bilbo Baggins Restaurant is open daily for lunch and dinner and also serves brunch during the weekends. Curious to learn more about this hidden gem of a restaurant?
