Le Vieux Logis building available for lease in Bethesda

It's not looking good right now for the future of Le Vieux Logis, the French restaurant at 7925 Old Georgetown Road in downtown Bethesda. It has been temporarily closed during the coronavirus lockdown. The business itself has also been on the market for sale for the last year. But now, "For Lease" signs have been affixed to the building.

The downward trend here was surprising, after a new owner had elevated the longtime resident favorite to a hot spot in recent years. Notoriously-Bethesda-averse Washington Post dining critic Tom Sietsema even gave it a rave review in 2014.
