50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Chevy Chase

“The food was decent, and the place was clean and well-maintained. Nothing too extraordinary, but the cheesecake? Absolutely incredible! 100/10! Easily one of the best cheesecakes I’ve ever had. I’d definitely come back just for the cheesecake.“

“Wonderful date night. Fantastic, attentive service and absolutely perfect food. Highly recommended.“

“Great sushi place to try!“

“Tried to order carryout from the 3-coure meal menu. Told that the items on the 3 course meal were not there. Tried to order filet of sole and salada da Horta. Seemed like bait and switch“

“We were so excited to hear Dok Khao opened a Chevy Chase location! We used to drive to the Columbia restaurant, so having one closer to home is amazing.

The ambiance is beautiful, the drinks were excellent, and the menu is so creative. The tilapia dish is absolutely to die for and one of the best Thai meals we've had in a long time. Everything was flavorful, and the service was stellar.

We can't wait to come back and try more of the menu!“

“We had the pasta bolognese & mushroom ravioli. Both were very well made. The kids had cheese pizza, which was also delicious. The disappointment was the bread. It was warm, and served with really good olive oil. However, it lacked the taste of good Italian bread. Prices were moderate & reasonable. I would definitely go back again, having passed by it many times & finally decided to give it a try. Having parking in the back was a bonus. There were no kids menus even though menu items could serve kids, such as pizza & chicken tenders.“

“A huge shout out and sincere thanks to Rea, Roman, and the hardworking staff at Potomac Pizza in Chevy Chase. They went out of their way to open early to bake about 30 pizzas for takeout. Rea and Roman were organized and friendly about the big order, got everything right, prompt about getting back to me and answering questions, and just great about everything. And the pizza was DELICIOUS -- chewy crust, flavorful toppings, great sauce and cheese. Thanks to everyone at the Chevy Chase Potomac Pizza -- you and the pizza you make are terrific!“

“We are in DC on vacation and ventured over to Maryland. This place is AMAZING! The atmosphere was great & so was the service! They were absolutely amazing at accommodating our son’s celiac disease (gluten allergy for lack of better words)! If we come back to DC, we will eat here again!“

“Amazing! The sushi tasting menu was exceptional and filling! Delicious and whimsical cocktails. Bar in the back, very hip and chic workout being pretentious. Wagyu beef skewers from the bar was one of the best things I’ve ever had. All the skewers were amazing and the fried chicken and other bar snacks are classic bar foods, but way elevated- can not wait for the rest of the space to open!“

“Great food and excellent service. John was fantastic. 100% recommend“

“Amazing dishes. Chive cakes, marigold, Laos wine, the butterfly and hummingbird were delicious. The presentation on the pla tong ma was almost as good as the flavor. Aim helped us choose our dishes and provided excellent service.“

“I think Old Ebbitt Grill are one of the best grill joints around Washington and they got the most warmed atmosphere and I also enjoyed their service a lot. Their waitress and waiters are well trained with great sense of humor and they always smile to their customers/buyers.. You all can give it a try and thank me later hehe 😜“

“Celebrated our anniversary here, and Oyster Oyster exceeded every expectation. It was my wife’s first Michelin dining experience (she is vegetarian), and it could not have been more perfect.

Food: Delicious, inventive, and deeply rooted in sustainability. The menu evolves with the seasons, making clever, zero-waste use of ingredients across every course. Even as a non-vegetarian, I was blown away—their slow-grilled mushrooms unlocked an incredible depth of umami and made for an unforgettable dish.

Ambiance: An intimate, thoughtfully decorated space featuring a cozy main dining area and counter seating. As can see from pictures attached, we sat kitchen-side, which was nicely decorated and also gave us a front-row view of the culinary team in action.

Service: Impeccable and worthy of their star. Attentive from start to finish, the team went above and beyond with a handwritten anniversary note and complimentary drinks to toast the occasion.

Oyster Oyster made our anniversary truly special. 5/5 stars—we’d give more if we could!“

“Lamb chops steak is delicious! The fried potatoes were delicious! Brusselsprouts with fruit jam sweet and appetizing! His family's Pitabread can continue indefinitely“

“First I would like to say that I wish there were more than 5 stars. My son and I are visiting the DC area for the Cherry Blossom festivities. My son has a love for Indian food ever since his trip to India. I have never tried Indian food ever. So this was my very first experience. From the moment we walked in the door our amazing experience began. The atmosphere is beautiful and so is the staff. Our server, April was super helpful and very knowledgeable. She has an amazing spirit and is wonderful with her job! The food... was very fresh, aromatic and DELICIOUS!! My son said the food was the closest to the food in India that he has had here in the states. For my first time... OMG!!! I am HOOKED! The only bad part is that I have to go back to Florida and wait impatiently for my next visit.“

“We had an early dinner before attending a performance at the Ford’s Theater. We made reservations through Open Table and were immediately seated upon arrival. The service was great. Our server recommended several dishes that we loved. There were abundant vegan and vegetarian options. Chilorio de Res tacos were mouthwatering as were the Hongos en Milto ones. In fact, every dish we ordered was delicious. One dish (chilaquiles) never arrived from the kitchen but we were pressed for time so we opted to have it taken off our bill instead of waiting for them to prepare it separately. Dessert, Cafe de Olla, was phenomenal. Pics are only some of the items we tried. Great atmosphere for date night and a milestone birthday celebration. Highly recommend.“

“wonderful small family owned Thai restaurant in Washington DC. the food is excellent and the service is great.“

“5 stars isn't enough!! From the moment we walked in until the end of our night we were satisfied. The decorations, food, and service was amazing! They even offered me a quiet place to pray :). Give this place a try-trust me (portions may seem small, but it was very filling- we ordered the bowl of fries, which came with a delicious sauce, CROQUETTES, fish burger, beef burger, and gnocchi pomodoro. It felt like we were in nyc enjoy :)“

“excellent service, good food, worth every penny“

“Elegant setting. Beautiful decor. Stellar service. Innovative and delectable cuisine. Bonus points for mocktail options.“

“All of my experiences at L’Ardente have been phenomenal. The food, the atmosphere, and the service are all top notch!!!“

“Incredible experience. Will be returning.“

“I enjoyed the green zone, it had me flying high. Flying high when I tried their coffee drink. There was so much in it I don’t even know what to call it, but look at the picture, it looks delicious. I payed a pretty penny for it too, but pennies I got. This place cost a lot of green so bring your wallet, credit card too. Have fun, it’s good (at least their coffee drink is).“

“Ottimo , ci siamo sentiti a casa“

“Came for the happy hour and it did not disappoint. The first 12 in line get to sit for the happy hour. The line hit 12 by 4:35ish this past Friday.

It was all delicious but favorites were the habanero scallop, fatty tuna & scallion, and king salmon.“

“Exquisite food and drink!“

“Had a great experience. I would definitely come back next time we are in DC.“

“5/5 Stars – Absolutely earned their Michelin rating!

We had an incredible dining experience here and sat at the chef's counter, which provided a fantastic view of the kitchen performing their craft. The entire operation is organized, smooth, and highly impressive to watch.
The food and drinks were outstanding:
• Duck Drunken Noodles: Perfectly spiced! The heat provided a beautiful warmth that highlighted the flavors rather than just kicking your butt for the sake of being spicy.
• Ginger Dumplings: Absolutely delicious.
• Plum Boulevardier: A lovely, well-crafted cocktail.
• Lychee Martini: My friend ordered this and completely loved it.
The service really made the night. All of the servers were welcoming and knowledgeable, creating a wonderful dining atmosphere. We were especially blessed to be taken care of by Eli and Monica. They were wonderful hosts who were incredibly complimentary to both myself and my companion.
Even the smaller details were great—the restrooms are single units that provide plenty of privacy, featuring a sleek black decor that is exceptionally well-maintained.
This is a wonderful operation that we will definitely be returning to. Highly recommended!“

“Outstanding performers and great food!“

“Came here for the Casa Kantuta x Kyojin collab and absolutely loved the service Quynh provided was exceptional. I’ve been here many times and she made this experience special. She recommended so many different items to us based off what we ordered. We took one of her recommendations and LOVED it.“
