Best French Restaurants in Silver Spring

We have a great experience every time we go to Matisse!

Food was excellent as always. My perfect dish is the salmon, my husband’s the cod, my son’s the steak frite. Everything cooked at exactly the right level, as requested. It is a joy to eat there, & the staff couldn’t be better or nicer.

Amazing little Bistro. Not too busy at about 1:00 pm ish for Brunch on Saturday. Tables are a little close so if it had been busier the experience would have been a little more cramped. Service was impeccable. Waiter was friendly and attentive without hovering. The onion soup was truly delicious, better than a lot of French restaurants that we have eaten at! Ordered the vegetarian omelette (mushrooms, tomato & cheese) which came with a delicious side salad and breakfast potatoes. The salad was fresh and flavorful the potatoes hot and tasty. Of note, the Omelette could have used a little more flavor, a tad on the bland side but good nontheless. Also had the Rosemary Breakfast, Waffles were absolutely delicious as were the scrambled eggs and sausage was so good. Latte's were hot and coffee was of good quality, not just a cup of hot milk. Really want to make a note of how the food was brought out....not just cooked and brought out while your still eating your appetizer. It was deliberately timed for a few minutes after you had finished your first course., very much appreciated that level of awareness. Will definitely be going back to try dinner....what a gem.

Medium Rare provides an excellent dining experience in a comfortable environment with an inexpensive set menu.
