Best Bistros in Chevy Chase

We love Et Voila but were a little troubled on our Monday evening visit to find it so full and so noisy!!! Lots of people have discovered how good it is!! Even though they were super-busy the service was amazing and the food on the whole excellent, especially the mussels. unfortunately my husband had a hangar steak that was so tough he could hardly eat it. Still it is a great restaurant and definitely worth a visit.

We are so lucky to have Lepic in the neigborhood. Ther service is efficient and friendly, the food is delicious..favorites are the salmon and the chicken curry!

Superior in all ways. Food was excellent, service precise and attentive, server herself friendly and helpful. We had appetizers, wine, mains, dessert and coffee. Each was spot on, but I’ll single out my shrimp ceviche as the star of my night. As good as I’ve had. Shrimp fresh and just the right size (6 maybe 25/30 sized), tender, sitting on a bed of mixed fresh greens with fennel slices, in perfectly seasoned lime juice. Scallops excellent with an orange/fennel purée that was unique and flavorful. Desserts were particularly good: lava cake, Iles flotant, coconut sorbet, crème brulet all very well done. And great coffee. And a wicked nice vibe to the place. And kudos to our exceptional waitress, Ana. Wish I lived in DC so I could go there often.

They had a couple of big parties going on at the same time we were there and the staff and management and kitchen handled it all with ease. Our calamari was lightly floured and delicious. Highly recommend the alfredo and spicy ragu. The prices are reasonable for the portions and fresh pasta and top ingredients. The menu isn’t large but they execute everything on it so well. The General Manager came over and spoke with us a few times throughout the meal. Was a great experience.

Really wonderful food and service. A modest-looking restaurant that could hold its own with the best restaurants in the DC area. Whatever you pay your chef(s), give them a raise! We were blown away with both the entrees, salad and desserts. Pricey, but we will definitely return for special occasions.
