French Restaurants near North Bethesda, MD

“Let me first start by saying - I don't generally bother to leave reviews. My partner and I had a last minute plan change which led to a frantic finding of a restaurant the day-of to celebrate her birthday. Luckily, we landed on Julii. We were seated in the outdoor igloo, which until a larger/louder group came outside was the perfect atmosphere. Plenty warmer than I thought it would be, and despite feeling a little bit like bubble boy it was really cool being outside as the sun went down. Karen, our server, was incredible through and through. When we do come back it will be because of her. She gave us the perfect recommendations (labneh, Brussels sprouts, lamb shank, and the duck confit) and was right on time all night. The food is amazing, I am currently eating the leftover lamb shank while I write this because the portion is massive, and the food will speak for itself. The only part I left at a 4 star instead of 5 is value, which do not get mistaken I have gotten a whole let less for a whole lot more money. The portions were sizable and the food was 10/10 through and through. I am just not made of money and a $200 outing (2 apps, 2 entrees, 2 drinks, and one dessert) is not something that I can afford all that often. But if you can, I'd highly recommend this place for any occasion or otherwise.“

“We value the seamless service and understated elegance. A trusted venue for business and celebration alike.“

“Great food in a great location in Georgetown. Parking right down the street.“

“Superlative tasting menu, top notch wine parings, outstanding service, from a staff that outnumbers the clientele, what’s not to like? Yes it’s small, so leave the soccer team meetup for the pizza place. For Lutece, bring your favorite couple or 1 or 2 very special friends“

“Cafe Renaissance has been our important event restaurant for the past 15 years. It has never failed to give us a very rewarding experience from its excellent food and the classy ambiance. Highly recommended!“

“Love the foods and place . All employee are very good .“

“A friend treated me to birthday dinner at Rosemary’s. Neither of us had been before and we were so happy to discover it. Start to finish every morsel was fresh, tasty and beautifully presented. We will be back!“

“Had the cauliflower shared plate which was very good, and one of the daily specials which was a seared fish with lentils, celery root and fennel and it was outstanding. Service was lovely. We arrived a little early for our 6:15 reservation and she continued to point out the pre-6 pm happy hour options, pointing out that we had 7 minutes left to order them, but was not pressuring or rushing us. There was a very tall slender gentleman who checked in on us, we had a very brief interaction with- bravo to him for converting warmth with an exceptional smile.

I’d highly recommend and the food was really good.“

“I had a strange experience a couple of weeks ago. My partner and I have dined at this establishment several times and most recent was last year. I always enjoyed the service and experience. A friend was in town and we went to Georgetown on the fly. It was a Thursday evening and I noted that there were available dining tables through the app. However, the doors were closed and locked, so we then accessed what appeared to be a bar area adjacent to the restaurant --as I wondered if the entrance had changed. A gentleman with an apron on mumbled something about the restaurant and then asked if we wanted to be seated at the bar. We declined and moved on. I did not see any notification on your website that there was an event or closure, and assume you operate on Thursdays after 5:30PM. So I am unclear if you're even still operating.“

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

“Great in every respect: quality and quantity of food, service, and ambience. A real treat!“

“Today was my 1st time eating here and I came with my father for Fathers Day. My father had eaten here several times and wanted me to try it. I liked Le Chat Noir and would come back again. Reasonably priced for higher quality French food.“

“The food, ambiance and service were spectacular. I can’t say enough good things about this place!!!“

“service...food....ambiance..... everything!! A1!!!!!!!! amazing!!!!“

“We had a great time at this restaurant! My family and I came here while staying at the Hilton and my dad has a gluten allergy and dislikes garlic and onion. The chef Armando came to our table, listened to my dad’s concerns and made him a custom meal with plain lemon caper chicken, gluten free fries and a salad. He loved it and ate it all! We all loved our dishes as well and the service was amazing. Our server Manuel was super nice and I would recommend!“

“Best mushroom soup ever with all the good wines!“

“Great service and amazing food“

“Food was good. The coq au vin hit the mark. Service was great. Noise level high. The interior design is quite lovely and takes you to old bistrots of Paris. The bar upstairs is quite lovely too. But, I just suggest the background music doesn't match the either setting. Maybe more old jazz or French classics to wrap up the package with😉“

“Beautiful place, excellent food!“

“Good food, perfect portions, and good cocktails!“

“DELICIOUS lunch at Et Voila DC!! The salads were amazing and the beer was cold and wonderful! It was my first time at the restaurant & I will definitely return. Highly Recommend!! 🎉🥗🍻❤️🍻🥗🎉“

“We had a great lunch! Highly recommended! 😋😋😋“

“Washington rang me up and was so kind and you can tell he loves taking care of guests at Maman. The vanilla cloud cookie was so yummy along with Oprah’s fave - kitchen sink cookie. Such a treat if you’re looking for a mid-day lunch, coffee or a snack. They also have craft cocktails and a happy hour. Definitely check them out!“

“One of the best experiences of my life! The customer service deserves a full 5 stars, and the chef even stopped by to say hello at my table. The food was outstanding—the portions were generous, and it truly felt like I was dining in Europe. Thank you for such wonderful service!“

“Trope fantastique. Always prepared perfectly“

“Fantastic food, attentive service, and ambient setting. Such a fantastic spot“

“Grace is one of the best hosts/guest service technicians I have ever had the experience of being served by. She was consistently attentive with the perfect balance of space for the guest and attentiveness. The food was cooked as desired, however the branzino was definitely the best entree on the table, alongside the duck confit and specialty steak. The chicken + liver charcuterie was to die for IMPO and I consider myself to be very bougie about my cheese. Delicious food, wonderful service. I was indecisive about wine choices and Grace was particularly helpful with that process. We loved the drinks and the whole experience.“

“Besides delicious pastries, the best part of Boulangerie Christophe is the staff! Super friendly and kind to everyone who walks through the door. The gourmet sandwiches are a huge hit for my 15-year-old son too.“

“Last week we enjoyed dinner with Edgar Allen Poe. Okay, so maybe not the man himself- but about as close as I could imagine the experience to be. Dark, decadent, and full of surprise. We got to try their seasonal Poe themed menu, and it’s not just dinner- it nears theatre on a plate.“

“Lovely ambiance! We sat at the bar and had the three course menu. I was gluten free and the staff was so great about accommodating me! The food was very tasty with great flavors and texture. I really enjoyed all the courses. The beef was so tender and flavorful. I thoroughly enjoyed the dessert as well. The only downside was that we had been walking all day through the city and my phone had died. I was hoping they might be able to let me charge my phone briefly so we could get home but they were unable to do allow that.“

“Heidy was amazing!! She was really patient, we had a party of 7 and unfortunately we didn’t all get there at the same time. She gave us recommendations and didn’t rush us at all. She was very funny and nice. The food was fresh and good. This was the elisa's mediterranean harvest bowl. Would recommend!“

“Love the foods and place . All employee are very good .“

“Really love their pastry and croissant. Cappuccinos are wonderfully made each morning. Frassier white chocolate cake is my favorite. Also tried the new grilled cheese for brunch - excellent.“

“Great restaurant and service.“

“a right Spot I thought it was closed but it isn't it Memorial Day so you guys got the best burgers and pizza I ever taste it I appreciate that food“

“Absolutely amazing food by a talented chef“

“Amazing place and staff is very helpful“

“Beautiful place , very friendly girls ❤️ feels like home“

“Great Brunch Spot!
Tried this place for brunch and was pleasantly surprised. The French toast was delicious—crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and not overly sweet. The avocado toast with eggs was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. Friendly service and a cozy atmosphere. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5: a bit of a wait and limited seating. Still, definitely worth checking out!“

“Stopped by on a wim after playing tennis. I was not disappointed!

The Tuscano Sandwhich really hit the spot - great flavor and fresh ingredients. I also had a fruit cup and fresh squeezed orange juice. Everything was nice and cool - hit so good on a hot hot day. Overall this spot is pricy but totally worth it today! I can’t wait to come back and try more sandwiches. Quick and responsive staff as well.“
