Discover Bethesda

Just a few miles northwest of DC lie Bethesda and Chevy Chase. This is a wealthy, sophisticated area populated by young, educated professionals exacting in their tastes, and an eclectic dining scene delivers. It’s become a dream destination for successful restauranteurs, with new arrivals raising an already demanding gastronomic bar. Like nearby Embassy Row, here, cuisine represents every continent. Szechuan Peking duck may neighbor Korean barbecue as easily as Greek shaved lamb and falafel. The smell of Indian chicken tikka masala may mingle with seared Peruvian chorizo, French coq au vin, Neapolitan pizza or Chesapeake seafood. With so many choices, you’ll find that tough competition delivers a variety of food worthy of a nation’s capital. It's no wonder DC was Bon Appétit’s 2016 pick for Restaurant City of the Year.
