Chercher Ethiopian Cuisine & Bar opens in Bethesda
Chercher Ethiopian Cuisine & Bar was open at 4921 Bethesda Avenue when I went by last night. An employee reached at their D.C. location confirmed the restaurant was open. To make reservations, call (202) 299-9703. You can also place a take-out order at the same number. Their menu can be reviewed online.

It'll be closing soon.
I hope not, but sadly probably true. :(
To make it work, they need to:
- Focus on happy hour. They have a great outside terrace so get the after-work crowd.
- Make the menu less confusing. I don't know if it was just the font and layout, but it was difficult to figure out.
"Chercher Ethiopian Cuisine & Bar was open at 4921 Bethesda Avenue when I went by last night. An employee reached at their D.C. location confirmed the restaurant was open."
If you walked by the restaurant and it was actually open, then why did you need to contact an employee at their DC location to confirm that? Why not just walk inside?
7:25: Very simple: There was no sign saying open. However, a small group of diners were at a table inside. It wasn't clear if it was a private, friends-and-family preview, or if it was actually open. Walk inside? You mean like walking inside Sears before reporting they've closed?
They beat out Lucy in opening. Good to see some new restaurants coming into town.
We've so many closures.
"It wasn't clear if it was a private, friends-and-family preview, or if it was actually open. Walk inside?"
Sure. I've done that several times, and asked, "excuse me, are you open?" and never received any kind of negative reaction.
10:04AM, me either. More often that not, I get invited to join, even if it's a soft open.
