Voted most romantic restaurant by Bethesda magazine's readers in 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018, 2021, 2022, 2024 (the award is given every other year, and romance mostly happened at home in 2020).
Welcome to La Ferme
For over forty years, La Ferme has been counted among the best French restaurants in the DC area : an elegant country farmhouse in Chevy Chase where authentic French cuisine is served with uncommon warmth.
Step inside and the rush of the city falls away. Candlelight, white linens, and a generous stone fireplace set the pace for unhurried evenings. Our kitchen honors classic French technique: French onion soup crowned with a caramelized cheese crust, mussels in fragrant broth, carefully prepared trout, and soufflés that arrive straight from the oven.
Couples celebrate anniversaries here. Neighbors gather. Colleagues close deals over dinner. Bethesda Magazine readers have voted us the area's most romantic restaurant eight times, most recently in 2024 : a distinction we credit to four decades of consistency rather than fashion.
On weekends, live piano music drifts through the dining room. In every season, our covered porch offers an airy alternative, and ample free parking waits just steps from the door : a rarity in Washington.
We look forward to welcoming you. À très bientôt."
