Bouboulina sets opening date at Pike & Rose


Everything the founders of CAVA touch turns to gold, and Federal Realty is banking on another King Midas moment at Pike & Rose this Friday, March 21, 2025. There are plenty of steakhouses in the region, but here comes a Mediterranean-inspired steakhouse, with the debut of Bouboulina. Named for a heroine of the Greek War of Independence of 1821 who commanded her own fleet, and is believed to be the first woman in world naval history to attain the rank of admiral, Bouboulina will serve premium cuts of steak and fresh seafood from its wood-fired grill. Meals will start with the wonderful aroma, flavor, and texture of house-baked breads.


CAVA founders Ted Xenohristos, Dimitri Moshovitis and Ike Grigoropoulos already have two other restaurants at Pike & Rose, Julli and Melina. Bouboulina joins the neighborhood at 921 Meeting Street. That is in the ground floor of the new 915 Meeting Street office building, and right across from the Trade Street parking garage.

The Cava boys are crushing it. This may be the best addition to that area in a long time. You know what's missing that this may be a great substitute for, Houston's on Rockville Pike. Very comfortable atmosphere, great food, super-successful restaurant people. What's not to love?

Unfortunately Cava's stock is down 45% over the past month so at least a couple MoCo billionaires were likely turned back into millionaires as part of this $5T+ Trump market crash.

Trump lives rent-free in 7:21's mind. I hate to admit that I'm lovin it!

7:21 - No one involved in Cava is worried about anything. Their CEO is a former neighbor. They are a bonafide smash hit and now nearly coast to coast. I have seen Cava as far as Dallas and they are likely in CA by now.
