The Chef
Enrique Limardo
Chef and co-founder of Seven Reasons Group. Since 2019 he has built five restaurants across Washington, DC and Arlington — among them Michelin-starred Imperfecto — cooking a Latin American kitchen that takes the food seriously and the dining room a good deal less so.

Frequently asked
- Which of Enrique Limardo's restaurants has a Michelin star?
- Imperfecto, in DC's West End, holds one Michelin star for its Mediterranean–Latin kitchen. Its Michelin Chef's Table dégustation runs Wednesday to Saturday.
- Where can I eat his cooking in Washington, DC?
- Seven Reasons at CityCenterDC downtown, Imperfecto and The Saga in the West End, Quadrant at The Ritz-Carlton West End, and Surreal in Crystal City, Arlington. All five take reservations on OpenTable.
- Does he still cook in the restaurants?
- The kitchens are his. The Michelin Chef's Table at Imperfecto is the closest thing to a seat at his pass — a multi-course dégustation served a few nights a week.
- Can he cook for a private event?
- Yes. Private dining and full buyouts are available across the group's five restaurants — the private events page has room capacities and an enquiry form. He also cooks privately through Atelier Limardo, where he and his team come to your home for a single evening with a menu built for your table.
