The Inn at Little Washington unnamed dessert.
Ever dreamed of dining at Virginia's top restaurant at The Inn at Little Washington? The famed locale is holding a fun contest on its Instagram and Facebook pages this spring for some lucky someone to do just that. You have until March 31 to enter on their Instagram or Facebook pages. Here are all the details, from their contest:
WIN DINNER FOR TWO AT THE INN BY NAMING OUR LUXURIOUS NEW DESSERT|
We’ve added a new chocolate dessert to our menu — and now, it needs a name.
Resting on a disc of feuilletine chocolate crunch is a layered entremet of milk chocolate mousse and vanilla crème, in the shape of a Pon de Ring inspired by the playful form of the Japanese mochi doughnut. It’s garnished with a Japanese namelaka— a silky-smooth crémeux made with Valrhona 35% Ivoire white chocolate and served alongside a quenelle of gianduja ice cream (the beloved confection of Turin, rich with chocolate and hazelnuts). The dish is plated on one of our favorite china patterns from @Bernardaud.
Whimsical. Decadent. Playful. Luxurious. This is a chocolate lover’s fantasy.
Now we need your help naming it.
To enter, comment with your best name on this official Facebook or Instagram post. Chef Patrick will choose his favorite, and the winner will receive dinner for two at The Inn at Little Washington. If you aren’t already following The Inn on social media, we encourage you to do so.
Entries will be accepted through 11:59 PM on Tuesday, March 31, 2026. The winning name will be announced on the Inn’s social media channels on Friday, April 3, 2026. Let your imagination run wild. We cannot wait to see what you call it.
