Bethesda restaurants

[Anonymous]

I have to spend some time in Bethesda for work. What are your favorite restaurants there? I go to Tako Grill and Jaleo and Cafe Deluxe, but that's about it. Recommendations?

Don Pollo, Moby Dick's, Mia's, Passage to India.

Guardados for Latin American tapas.
Bangkok One - I don't know why they are always empty (and it makes me worry they will soon go away!), but they have been delicious every time I have gone, so much better than Tara Thai or Sala Thai.
I prefer Haandi to Passage to India.
I second Mia's. BGR also has my favorite veggie burger in town.
I am actually not a fan of a lot of the other restaurants mentioned here, but just goes to show that tastes are highly personal.

I really like La Panetteria for Italian food. Rustic and cozy place.

Another vote for Persimmon.

Ive been to India several times, and Angeethi is a much better Indian place than Haandi. For burgers I like Fresh Grill. Nest Cafe is good too.

That deli over in the Bradley Shopping Center with Stroesniders makes great sandwiches.

Raku's ok but eating inside makes me feel like a sardine.

I hear Mussel Bar is good, but sadly DH is deathly allergic, so I haven't been yet.

Pines of Romes is a love it or hate it place. They have good Italian for really cheap prices. I think you will like it as long as you stay away from the red sauce, which is not so much a sauce as a can of whole tomato someone heated up and tossed with the pasta. Try the veal, it's the best in the city........

I almost forgot City Lights of Bethesda. Best Chinese in the city.

Mussel bar is over-priced and over-crowded. They don't even make their own french fries, which is inexcusable for a moules and frites place, in my book.
