Best Bistros in Friendship Heights

The other two people I was with really enjoyed their food. The bombolini were delicious. However the focaccia was soaked in oil and I couldn’t eat it after one bite and the bucatini amatraciana was so so salty that it too was hard to eat. My husband said his vodka penne was very good but you could tell it was packed with cream (and I noticed a pad of what I think was butter plopped on top as if it needed anymore). I just would just take it easy on the heavy hand with fats like butter/cream/oil and salt.

We experienced a family emergency while we were dining and our waitress was so calm and helpful. Our food had just been set down and she helped us get the check and boxes as quickly as possible. She was amazing! Love dining here and so thankful for her!

Food was excellent as always. My perfect dish is the salmon, my husband’s the cod, my son’s the steak frite. Everything cooked at exactly the right level, as requested. It is a joy to eat there, & the staff couldn’t be better or nicer.

We found this Belgian restaurant on Open Table while visiting a friend at Sibley Hospital, where dining options are pretty limited. It was a delightful surprise! One of our group, who has visited Belgium several times and loves Belgian cuisine, was especially excited. We shared several dishes: the mussels, a small cheese plate, and of course, frites paired with Belgian beer (Duvel, I believe). Everything was delicious! The atmosphere was cozy and authentic, and the service was very good. Highly recommend if you’re in the area and looking for a yummy meal. It truly felt like a little taste of Belgium.

Lovely bistrot with authentic, comfortable feeling. A very good alternative to more noisy destination restaurants
