I have eaten at Praline once a week for over 12 months. I find the items on the daily menu are always outstanding. But the uneven quality of the service colors my favorable opinion of this restaurant. Yesterday, we had to wait for everything, service, drinks, bread, refills for drinks, the dessert menu, the bill and waiter to take our... More

The selections of tenderlion, salmon, minute steak, and soft shell crab were all excellent for a group of four diners. The deserts were quite good. The wine list is a limited one, but our waiter was able to pour a glass from the list that was not offered as such and there were a number of lower priced offerings. Overall,... More

It is primarily a bakery, which also serve lunch and tea. Always I was there I see a very distinctive clients in a quite environment. The sandwiches, sweets and other dishes available in the menu are delicious.

Always enjoy the delicious pastries at Praline's. Whenever we go, we end up getting much more than we should. This last time, between the two of us, we had five pastries. My favorite was actually the savory ham and cheese croissant. The upstairs restaurant is a nice treat too!

this is one of the very best places in the Bethesda area to go for brunch...the good is so, so good...there is also a bakery where you can pick something up to take home...it is a very popular place so it is a good idea to make reservations

A combo fine dining/bakery establishment located within the unassuming confines of a Bethesda strip-mall, Praline's was a pleasant surprise for a recent Sunday brunch. The grilled vegetable wrap was delish, though the side of salad was a bit overboard on the greens. Bakery items are fresh and good. Service was excellent.

Paline's operates a retail bakery on the first floor and the bistro on the second floor up a flight up stairs. The bakery is good but a bit pricey. The Bistro section has very good quality food and service. Although the menu is notably smaller than most at only about twenty food items or so, they are generally executed and... More

Praline is underappreciated. BUT it also could try harder. The location is limiting-- in a shopping mall. But the breads, pastries, soups, etc. are terrific French preparations using excellent ingredients. I'd like to see a little more effort to get to the top.
