For Lebanese, I like Bacchus best.

Persimmon. Best food by far.

I think this poster means Levante's.

Yup, Mussel Bar on Woodmont & Elm replaced Levante's. Lebanese Taverna is on Arlington & Elm.

OP, I hope you didn't go to Quotidien. So-so food at inflated prices, IMO.

I would do Black's or even Persimmon for a special lunch. Yum.

We were at the Lebanese Taverna in Bethesda about a month ago. Did they move or something?

We enjoy Lebanese Taverna. It's a nice space.

Nest, Redwood, Passage to India

Hanndi is terrible. Best Indian in Bethesda is Passage to India on Cordell.

There are also private tables at Au Pain Quotidien.
Personally, I would stick to downtown Bethesda around Barnes and Noble because you can walk around before/after, get ice cream or yogurt, etc.

I really like Raku for lunch. Is Pain Quotidien a common table?

If you want Indian there are other options, like Shangri La ot Haandi.

Cafe Deluxe and Mon Ami Gabi might be ok too.

Addies on Rockville Pike across from White Flint. "North Bethesda" but I had lunch there recently and it was quite good.

Raku

Tabdoori Nights (recently opened, Indian, they have other locations. It is where the other indian restaurant was, beside The clothes store, Luna.)

Au Pain Quotidien

I have a friend in town and would like to take her to lunch in Bethesda. Any ideas? TIA.
