BETHESDA
EASTER BRUNCH
GUIDE

All the Best Restaurants to Celebrate the

Easter egg hunts. Candy. Honeybaked ham. Aside from religious services, did I forget something?

Easter brunch, of course! Maybe you forgot about it too, but fortunately you stopped by this blog just in time to find the best Easter brunches in Bethesda for 2012.


AMERICAN TAP ROOM 10 AM - 3 PM
7278 Woodmont Avenue, 301-656-1366

They haven't posted a menu as of this morning, but Chef Bobby Vickers is sure to have some creative surprises up his sleeve as always.

Easter in the City of Light - right here at Bethesda Row!

Mon Ami Gabi is pulling out all the stops. Classic Quiche Lorraine is joined by Vegetable Quiche and two crepes: shrimp and scallops, or creamy chicken and mushroom.

Not just french toast! Authentic *French* Toast! In vanilla or blueberry flavors.

For the adults, Build-Your-Own Bloody Mary bar and bubbly mimosas.

For the kids, a FREE take-home Easter basket of surprise treats!

To complete your Easter trip to France, stop by Le Pain Quotidien on Bethesda Lane, and pick up some of their Easter chocolates - imported directly from France! Can you find a Poisson d'Avril in there?

LEBANESE TAVERNA
7141 Arlington Road, 301-951-8681

Maybe you'd rather set sail from the Riviera eastward in the Mediterranean, for a traditional Lebanese brunch. You can do that at Bethesda Row, too!

Lebanese Taverna, like Redwood, is offering a Brunch (11-4) and a dinner (4-9) Sunday. Brunch is $29.95 per person, dinner is a la carte.

Brunch will feature over 25 mezza plates. Kids get a small Easter basket with candy, stickers and other surprises.

GUARDADO'S
4918 Del Ray Avenue, 301-986-4920

Prefer Spain? How about a traditional Spanish Easter brunch at Guardado's, one of the best-kept secrets in Bethesda.

Try the $15 Spanish Late Breakfast. What a bargain! Grilled Steak tapa with Corales sauce, Torrija, Fried Eggs and Guardado's special Home Fries.

Coffee or juice is included with each brunch entree. There are also salads, fresh ceviche, and tapas. Sides include the usual and the exotic (fried plantain).

CESCO OSTERIA 11 AM - 10:30 PM
7401 Woodmont Avenue, 301-654-8333

They know how to celebrate holidays gastronomically in Italy! Cesco isn't portioning up the schedule; they're going large all day with an event they're calling Easter in Firenze. The cost is $40 for three selections from the prix fixe menu; $10 for the kids menu.

You could start with an octopus and shrimp salad, move on to the Lamb Rolatini or Involtini of veal, and bring things to a close with Tiramisu, Zuppa Inglese, Gelato ice cream, or Meringata from the Dessert menu.

Reserve your table today.

Happy Easter and Happy Passover to all!

And if you are celebrating Passover, call Mon Ami Gabi to ask about the Passover Dinner they're serving tonight at Bethesda Row.
