Located in Bethesda, MD, Mussel Bar & Grille offers a taste of old-world Belgian cuisine with a modern twist. Inspired by the chef's memories of late-night gatherings at a Belgian roadhouse, this restaurant opened its original location in July 2010. The menu features a variety of dishes, from Bière and Moules to grilled and brick oven-fired specialties, along with seasonal salads, soups, and handcrafted desserts.

While mussels remain a highlight, the restaurant also serves up Belgian classics like frites, oysters, cheese, and chocolate, all paired with an impressive selection of Belgian beers, wines, and seasonal cocktails. The cozy ambiance and extensive menu make Mussel Bar & Grille a go-to spot for those looking to enjoy a casual dining experience with a touch of European flavor.
