Bethesda is looking even more international these days! Mussel Bar, the new Belgian gastropub in downtown Bethesda within a short walk from Kenwood Forest. Even though it is supposed to open tonight officially, last night they ended up serving anyone who may have read in other publications that they were opening Wednesday in honor of Belgium's national holiday. The chef thought it fair to serve people who showed-up, especially because they are non-reservations. Mussel Bar is Chef Wiedmaier's most recent restaurant - he also owns Marcel's, Brasserie Beck, and Brabo - and is an homage to his native Belgium. The dark wood interior complements the boat shaped bar in the center of the room and all the fabulous Belgian bars!
If you are not tempted by the Mussel Bar, you should definitely check out Restaurant Week in Bethesda - great food at a great price!
If you don't actually live in Bethesda or Chevy Chase or even Kenwood Forest but you realize what a great gastronomic capital of delight Bethesda has become and want to move closer, then you should give Lise Howe a call at 240-401-5577 to start the home search.
