We usually go to the bakery for take-out but have had lunch here as well. Very popular since there are not many other places in this particular neighborhood (not downtown Bethesda.) the preparation is perfect and the staff work hard to meet a huge demand.

We had a wonderful meal at this out of the way spot in the shopping center off Sangamore Rd. near the Army map service. Beautiful bakery downstairs and a nice dinning room upstairs with a large outdoor terrace for great Al Fresca dinning. The sautéed rib eye steak was cooked perfect to medium rare and the soft shell appetizer with... More

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.

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

We visited Praline for the first time last night, having decided to try it on the strength of the reviews. Everyone is right - the location might be a bit off-putting, in a sort of strip mall (but we were intrigued by other offerings at the mall so might return to check them out), and the inside is perfectly nice...

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.
