Jaleo

There's nothing really like grazing the tapas offerings at one of Madrid's finest restaurants. But Jaleo comes as close as possible, and it's a LOT closer than Madrid. I've never had a bad morsel here, but of course I have my favorites which includes anything from the meat or seafood fair, and anything with manchego. The vino tinto selections are fine, too. This Bethesda incarnation of Jaleo is quieter than the downtown version, and the decor is darker and richer for a more romantic dining experience. Bethesda Row boasts several fine restaurants, but Jaleo is one of the best.
