While at the Malice Domestic convention at the Bethesda Hyatt, we made the mistake of eating at the Daily Grill (see my review), and attending the awards dinner in the ballroom. Forget both, and, when possible, get your meals here. The food is better, the sevice is quicker, and the prices are reasonable. The food was freshly made, and tasted... More

This restaurant has many locations - ate at this one while staying at a local hotel. I love their food (of course it is a little more than McDonalds but then they have a much better choice of menu). Pastries are wonderful, soups and salads are excellent and atmosphere is warm and inviting. Staff was friendly although I'm sometimes confused... More

la Madeleine is a quaint French Country Kitchen with yummy soups and sandwiches and other French foods like quiches and croissants. They have a pleasant staff willing to help with your selection. The decor is constructed of wood, lighting is low and the noise level also low, nice for a conversation. They also have outdoor seating. They are opening on... More

It certainly had a nice variety of food which was average quality, but the staff were generally rude or dismissive. The flow of the location itself is difficult to understand, and the cashier didn't say a word to me. No total given, nothing. We had to find some things on our own...like the drink cups we paid for. There was... More

The food is very good, and the pastries are the best! Grab a goody and wander to the back for a seat by the fireplace. The lemon white chocolate cookie is yummy.

Tried for breakfast while staying in Bethesda. Excellent fresh food, you could tell they take their time, using the best ingredients. Kind of weird set up - take out bakery is to the left when you walk in, cafeteria-style to the right. You order items off the menu by walking up to the cashier at the end of the cafeteria... More

We love eating at La Madeleine. The food is excellent and very reasonable in price. I enjoy the cafeteria style of service because I can see what they offer and choose just what I want. The atmosphere is really comfortable--rather like being in rooms in an old country house. And along with the meal I can partake of their breads... More

I know that many people use La Madeleine for networking and business meetings. It is nice if you are one of the lucky few to get a free parking space in their lot. I have to say though that the food and tea doesn't impress me. I am not a tea snob, but luke warm water with a Liption tea... More

This is a great place to eat. The design is very classic and french. Visit the bathrooms for free french lessons comimg from the audio speakers. The food is good and the atmosphere is great. I will certainly come back when I visit DC.
