Explore the intersections of Spanish and Japanese cuisine at Cranes, a restaurant and sake lounge by chef Pepe Moncayo. Chef Pepe’s contemporary dishes spotlight the similarities he has found with the ingredients, techniques and culinary viewpoints of Japan and Spain. From cooking style to ingredient and flavor combinations, his Spanish Kaiseki is a natural cultural and culinary marriage.

The design of the 12,000 square foot restaurant space includes a beautifully striking bar, large sake lounge, raised dining area, open kitchen, and private dining room suitable for 30 guests. The sleek, modern, yet approachable space draws on the chef’s Spanish and Japanese influences. Bright polished metals and thoughtfully placed wood elements layer amongst dark textures and dramatic lighting.

The food was amazing. Like amazing. We try somewhere new in dc for our anniversary and this was one of the best. The restaurant is too spacious for the kitchen so it seemed a little empty but the food made up for that times 10. We will be back and we will be bringing friends! Truly a special chef!

First, I confess I’m a regular at Crane’s. They have an amazing Happy Hour, and the staff is so friendly. I took my daughter who was visiting from Los Angeles this week for Restaurant Week lunch. Cranes had a Bento Box with soup and dessert. They knocked the ball out of the park! The flavors of every food item were just fantastic! And of course, the service was the very best. Cranes deserves a Michelin star in my opinion — better than some in town who have one.

Amazing dining experience with fresh ingredients. The staff was very attentive and the restaurant is wheelchair accessible. Overall, an amazing experience. I went for my birthday and they even wrote a handwritten birthday note with dessert and candle. It was very thoughtful.

Always have a great meal. We got tapas and was less expensive than we anticipated! Omakase is amazing if you can afford it. My Spanish friends loved it!

My favorite culinary experience in DC by far! Chef Pepe Moncayo seamlessly blends my favorite cuisines, Japanese and Spanish. The Paella Nigiri, the Mushroom Rice and the Unagi Paella 🥘 are just incredible. And the service is amazing. (Thank you Ashley and Sonny for always making us feel welcomed!)
