Potomac

An upscale French restaurant, which, oddly enough, specializes in simple, scrumptious popovers! It is a large restaurant in an odd spot among Potomac's suburban mansions, with a French countryside styled interior. While a fine choice for dinner especially given the excellent wine selection, the Sunday brunch buffet $28 and afternoon teas $20 are extremely popular, and generally require reservations. The restaurant is often booked for banquets and events, so it is good to call in advance anyway. Afternoon tea every first and third Wednesday of the month. Full bar.

Renato Restaurant

Unpretentious strip-mall Italian dining at its best. The prices are deceptively low for the quality of food, with lunch being a real bargain. Specializes in fresh fish, although most all the appetizers as well as the pizza remain local favorites. Patio seating. Make reservations.
