Top 5 Restaurants in Chevy Chase

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Capital Properties DC AB15253

Sometimes it is easy to forget that Chevy Chase has its own restaurants.  Located just north of Washington DC and east of Bethesda (with more restaurants than you can imagine), the restaurants of Chevy Chase are sometimes overlooked.  However, Chevy Chase is not just a suburb of Washington and Bethesda.  It is its own community - with its own restaurants and things to do! 

Here are a top 5 list of restaurants in Chevy Chase.

1.  Clyde's of Chevy Chase - Clyde's is the place to go for a great Sunday brunch, burgers, and crab cakes.  While there are locations in Georgetown (the original), Columbia MD, Rockville, and Northern Virginia, little ones love visiting the Clyde's in Chevy Chase to watch the electric train run along its track on the ceiling and admire the old race cars.  In warm weather, it is fun to sit on the patio or have a drink at the outside bar under cover.  Visiting the Chevy Chase Clyde's is fun to see how the Volkswagen in front of the restaurant is decorated as the seasons change. 

2. Sushiko - This sushi restaurant offers traditional sushi and sashimi, as well as small plates and creative rolls. 

3. Tavira is an out of the way restaurant (in the lower level of an office building) on Connecticut Avenue. It serves a variety of Portuguese seafoods and gives diners an extensive choice of wines.

4. The Capital Grille - Sometimes only a big steak will fill the bill for dinner!  When the red meat craving strikes, there is no place better to go than The Capital Grill.  Here you can have an old fashioned wedge salad, lobster bisque, steak au poivre and a tomahawk veal chop. 

5. La Ferme - Located in an old farmhouse on Brookeville Road, La Ferme makes you dream of trips to the French countryside for a Sunday lunch with your grandmother!  Be sure to try the roast chicken or the Dover sole and a chocolate souffle to finish your feast!  

If these restaurants make you want to visit Chevy Chase, you might also want to move here.  To start your search, just start looking right here.

Good morning, Lise... La Ferme is just my kind of place! And I adore Dover Sole. And who couldn't use a place like Clyde's to grab a great burger. (Love the pink bug next to the pink flowers.)

Hello Lise and would be fun to see the VW out front.  My sister first car in 1961 was a new VW

That VW would certainly gather attention. My choice to try would be Tavira as it is close to my parents' heritage.  May have to try it when we next visit the family in Great Falls

Hi Lise- we took our friend to Clydes in Georgetown!  we had just moved to Leesburg and he and his wife wanted to spend his 40th with us. We loved it.

Kathy Streib - Clyde's in Georgetown is an old standby that continues to deliver great joy!  I love their omelets - and I've been going there for years.

Lise:

Sounds like some great dining opportunities. I would love visiting Clyde's for the crab cakes and to check out the VW. What a cool thing to do and a nice draw for business I bet!

I'd enjoy checking out the Capitol Grille, too. I've eaten at the one in DC while there for a CRS mid-year convention.
