50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Potomac

“Fantastic food and fellowship with some amazing scientists and staff from NIH/NCI this Holiday season. 🎄🍭😊“

“I came here after hiking Great Falls, I’m from NC and I’m not used to such a great dining experience!“

“This Greek restaurant in Potomac, MD is a hidden gem. The lobster spaghetti was rich and perfectly balanced, and the dessert—simple, elegant, unforgettable. The menu is carefully curated, and it shows. This is their second restaurant—the first has been around for over 30 years. They know what they’re doing. Small space, so definitely make a reservation—but bar seating is just as good (we sat there and loved it). Carlos the bartender and the whole staff were amazing. We were the only Black/brown folks there, and felt completely welcomed. Don’t miss this spot—real food, real hospitality, real experience.“

“What a cozy beautiful place! Went there on a Saturday night and it was as vibrant as a restaurant in DC still secluded from the city. The food was absolutely amazing! The mushroom tart and filet mignon were the must try ones imo. Loved the vibe!“

“Sprinkles is a great neighborhood spot for ice cream in the evening and donuts on the way to work!“

“Thought I’d go by and give them a try today ,I ordered several different ones to see what was good and I must say the food was delicious and fresh! Can’t go wrong with any of them .Highly recommend!“

“The best chaat Place in my eatery list. Must try their "ROYAL CHAAT". One of the best place to have Indian food.“

“The staff and service was impeccable. This is hands down the best sushi restaurant I've ever experienced. The seafood is incredibly fresh, and every dish is visually stunning. The creativity behind the sauces truly sets this place apart, and I even heard the chef makes his own soy sauce—which absolutely shows in the depth of flavor. The Japanese uni was beautifully presented, and the tuna was a deep, rich red that melted in my mouth, finished perfectly with a delicate sprinkle of truffle oil. Every bite felt intentional and expertly crafted. I only wish I lived closer—this would easily be my daily go-to restaurant.“

“Hidden gem of a shop, literally as you have to navigate through an office building to get there. The presumably owner was wonderful and very helpful, he also emphasized his use of extra virgin olive oil for health. I don’t think the Chicken Msakhen I got was on the online menu, but so so tasty.

More of a takeout shop than a date night vibe, but it does have free WiFi! Please consider giving them your business, it’s so worth it“

“A cute and cozy bistro with delicious food and fabulous service!“

“Our dinner was just amazing tonight! Everything was so fresh and delicious, and you were all so friendly, thank you so much.“

“We had such a great experience. Lizz was our server and she was amazing!!! This was our family’s first time here and we were celebrating our son for earning straight A’s on his report card. They gave him the most delicious donuts and Lizz made really excellent dish recommendations. We will return for sure!!“

“Stumbled upon Herbivore Indian Cuisine during a DC visit and really liked the overall experience. Simple, tasty, and satisfying.

Some quick notes:

* Small but cozy restaurant with a welcoming vibe
* Food was good and had that touch of homemade flavor
* Both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options available
* Portion size was on the smaller side but filling and flavorful
* Naan was fresh and soft—definitely a highlight
* Quick service and polite staff
* Clean interiors and neatly maintained space
* Roadside parking available nearby, typical for DC
* Great spot for a casual meal with authentic Indian taste“

“Absolutely delicious. The only ice cream store I know of that will split a single. Wonderful customer experience.“

“i love this place! Great vibes, such a wonderful aura. Eli took care of my party's every need. So professional! 10/10 will definitely be back!“

“The service was immaculate. Really warm and kind people who were efficient and smart. PK was our waiter and did a great job. He left us all with a smile on our face. Excellent.“

“Favorite Greek / Mediterranean restaurant in DC area. So many healthy, tasty options. Could eat their Greek salad everyday— the dressing is so good they serve it with a spoon. Salivating as I write this. The restaurant is great for lunch as well, not just for dinner! Top notch wait staff too, always friendly and hospitable.“

“I love this place! Great steak and fries as well as delicious salad and bread. The service is also consistently excellent. Today I ordered a door dash pick up which was accidentally sent to the DC location. The Bethesda manager was super helpful and accommodating and they actually helped me out and switched the order! Love this place and will definitely be back!!!!“

“Jaques' Brasserie is the undercroft of L'Auberge Chez Francois. It has a simpler menu, but the food is prepared with the same excellence as L'Auberge. It's a more casual dining experience, but the service is still top tier. I had the sweat breads and calves' liver -- both were excellent. The wine list was perfect for the Brasserie, and the deserts and aperitifs were superb (I had a poire williams, my wife a Mirabelle, which are hard to find. We'll be back.“

“A traditional LBS(Local Bike Store). The shop works with its customers for their mutual benefit (revenue for the shop, service for the customer), as it should be, not biasing the transaction to either party. The service crew is warm, friendly, and helpful. I hope that I have found my new LBS for supporting my bicycling habit. Love that they incorporate a coffee shop & brewery into their operation too.“

“Very yummy food I like it a lot and the service was very good very delicious place to eat I enjoyed the atmosphere and how kind the workers are!! The food was very pleasant the seasoning gives a compliment to the food enjoyed every single bite!!“

“Great foods and great service.“

“Chocolate pudding 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤“

“Great food and service, but disappointed that they have been out of AC for two months. They need to tell their customers at the door before they are seated. Not right especially if customers have respiratory issues. Some in the restaurant that day were experiencing discomfort Stay away from the Rockville Location until they fix the AC“

“Okay forget Starbucks and paying $7 for a boring latte. Come here- get the pistachio latte and see a work of art presenting as your new favorite coffee. Definitely will be coming back. This was SO delicious.

They also have so much variety of latte (and I happen to be a latte gal). They have Ferrero, Dubai Chocolate, Strawberry Cheesecake, Apple Pie, etc. I had a hard time choosing, but ended up picking up a classic (shoutout to the baristas being patient because I took at least 10 minutes looking through the menu).“

“Great atmoshere, high-end stylish dining room, comfortable seating. The salmon dish was delicious and a large portion. The spinach rice side dish was so delicious! The Ravini Politiko, coconut cake was the best I ever ate! The Thalissina, seafood pasta had plenty of seafood in it and delicious. Even the cappaccino was delicious, very smooth, no bitterness and taste great with dessert! The server, Baris, was attentive, friendly and did a great job taking care of us. Great place to eat, homemade dishes and desserts! Highly recommend it. I will be back!“

“Like six years ago, this place used to be a Carne Asada grill. They had the best Carne Asada you could imagine with a lot of fat on the meat. Now it’s a burrito place, which is still very good! I am wondering, what happened to the old owner? Is it the same ownership?“

“Great service @ DC the seafood appetizer was delicious!“

“This is our fourth time ordering from Chan’s Kitchen, and they’ve been very consistent. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and reliable, which is why we keep coming back. Friendly and welcoming staff.

The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that the egg rolls can sometimes be a bit greasy, but tastes really good.
Overall, still a solid go-to spot for Chinese food and definitely recommended.“

“Absolutely delicious. The only ice cream store I know of that will split a single. Wonderful customer experience.“

“Lovely little cafe hidden away off the main road with amazing coffee. Tldr; if my testament isn’t enough, there is always a line here which more than shows that others besides myself love this coffee shop.

While small, the space is both well utilized and the decorations cleverly thought out. They also host a variety of community events, though I can’t yet comment on those as I’m still waitlisted 🥲.

Overall highly recommend!“

“Great little Greek restaurant tucked away in a mini strip mall.
Food was great and the owner was such a nice guy. Very attentive and made sure we enjoyed our dining experience there. I highly recommend this restaurant for authentic Greek food.“

“I recently visited Nanxiang Soup Dumpling and had a wonderful experience. The soup dumplings were delicious and full of flavor. I also want to give a special mention to, Zhi, who provided excellent service and gave me good suggestions when I order the food. He was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great dumplings!“

“Awesome“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Outstanding Experience at Honoo Ramen Bar! Honoo Ramen Bar is an absolute gem and a must-stop in West Falls Church! From the very first bite to the last, everything was exceptional. The Tako Wasabi was perfectly balanced—fresh, briny, and addictive. The Sake Steamed Clams were rich, aromatic, and bursting with flavor… pure comfort in a bowl. The wagyu and toro sushi were incredibly fresh, buttery, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious—clearly top-tier quality. And the shrimp dumplings? Steamed to absolute perfection: tender, flavorful, and expertly made. Do not leave without trying the Green Bliss Roll—it’s a standout and an instant favorite. On top of the amazing food, the service is attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming, making the entire experience even better. Honoo Ramen Bar delivers on every level—food, service, and vibe. If you’re anywhere near West Falls Church, this place is an absolute MUST STOP. I’ll be back again and again! 🍜✨“

“Amazing place and services. They serve beautiful bakery. Especially, white whipped cream cake is the best. It’s perfectly balanced in sweetness, with light whipped cream, fresh fruit, and incredibly soft cake layers—it all comes together beautifully.“

“Excelente el arroz con pato!!! Me encanto!!“

“I usually don’t leave reviews, but Teazzi is the exception. The employees are very kind and accommodating, even understanding when I accidentally ordered the wrong drink and made another drink free of charge. 100000/10. Very thankful. Can’t recommend this place enough!!! 💗💗💗“

“Cute little Japanese spot in Georgetown, it is quite original, serving Japanese home style cooking. The wine selection was amazing; we did the wine pairing and the combination of flavors was incredible. Each course and wine was preceded by a very interesting exposition from the Chef and the Sommelier. Will have to come back to try the sushi menu on weekdays!“

“Call Your Mother is a charming little gem in Georgetown that absolutely delivers on flavor! We tried the Thunder Hard Bagel and the Edgewater Bagel both were delicious and paired perfectly with their freshly brewed coffee. A simple but satisfying combo that hits every time.
The vibe is warm, fun, and full of personality. Yes, seating is limited, but honestly the food makes it worth the squeeze! If you're exploring Georgetown and need a quick, tasty bite, this is your go-to spot.“

“Consistently AWESOME!“
