Best Dinner Places to Eat in Gaithersburg

"Modern French brasserie Le Diplomate is well-known among DC brunch goers for its charming sidewalk seating, which is now lined with stylish enclosed booths. Try one of the delicious egg dishes off the “Les Oeufs” menu, like a lobster omelette or the eggs basquaise, or go for classic French fare like steak frites and trout amandine. Don’t forget to add some mimosas or a refreshing Le Dip Spritz.How to book: Make indoor and outdoor dining reservations via OpenTable and order takeout and delivery via Caviar"

"The smokey mirrored walls, gorgeous tile floor, dark wood features, and a loud, bustling atmosphere greet you upon arrival to Le Diplomate. Creating a true Parisian Bistro in the heart of DC is not an easy task, but Le Diplomate has succeeded. Each dish is an extravagant homage to the very best of French cuisine, while the ambiance is suitably energetic and buzzy."

"A fabulous dining experience and definitely the best meal of my weekend. I came here on a solo trip to celebrate my birthday (a little after my birthday, I…”more"

"Capitol HillTwinkle-lit, farmhouse-chic restaurant known for its bold small platesIn 2014, it was practically a badge of honor to get a table at Rose’s Luxury, Aaron Silverman’s cult favorite New American restaurant nestled into a converted Capitol Hill townhouse. The restaurant became as synonymous with delicious small plates as it did with the ever-present line that made its way down the street as diners sometimes waited hours for a table. Considering that countless new restaurants have opened with just as much initial buzz, we’re almost surprised to say that the line is still there -- a testament to just how good this Michelin-starred restaurant really is."

"Local chef Aaron Silverman’s two-story Barrack’s Row joint is worth every little bit of the buzz it’s getting. Rose’s doesn’t take reservations and a line forms at 4pm on weekends for a 5:30 seating; but don’t let this be too offputting. Rose’s menu is Southern meets Jewish meets Japanese meets French meets Thai meets your grandmother’s home cooking, and changes often."

"The hottest seat in town is at Rose’s Luxury, the foodie favorite spot in DC that everyone is raving about. Owner Aaron Silverman boasts quite the resume, having worked for some big culinary names, among them Sean Brock (of Charleston’s..."

"The gist: The farmers’ market dictates the menu at this build-your-own tasting menu restaurant where sharing is encouraged. The food: The offerings change based on what’s in season, but each guest gets to choose their courses for the tasting menu from a selection of vegetable-forward dishes. Right now, highlights include watermelon with green curry and herbs, ravioli with grilled corn and lemon beurre fondue, seafood paella, and a cornflake bakewell tart.The cost: The tasting menu is $75 per person with add-ons and beverage pairings available."

"The husband-wife team of Carey and Yuan Tang launched Rooster & Owl on 14th Street NW in February 2019 to much fanfare. Its title is derived from the nicknames for Carey, who works during the day (the “Rooster”) and Chef Yuan, who is the late-night “Owl.” Despite its name, the restaurant is not poultry-only. Veggies take center stage on most dishes in the tasting menu-focused restaurant, and you’d be remiss to pass on the charred barbecue carrots with cornbread ice cream (you read that correctly)."

"Yuan and Carey Tang grew up in suburban Falls Church, Va., and moved back to Washington from New York with a dream of opening an ambitious restaurant within their limited means. “As owners who wanted to maintain full equity, we didn’t have much choice,” Ms. Tang said. In February, they opened this unassuming place with a user-friendly four-course, $65 tasting menu that offers multiple choices and achieves lofty goals but defies thumbnail description."

"Sunday brunch has always been one of my meaningful meal experiences. When I lived in New York City, brunch was like a right of passage because once you figured out how and when to get a table (since getting a brunch table in NYC is almost impossible), you finally felt like you belonged in the city rather than on the outside looking in (if you’ve ever lined up for brunch in NYC, you know what this means). Sunday brunch is also the meal I’ve frequently used to catch up with friends, commiserate about the night before and largely try to cure many many hangovers."
