Every month, the popular food website Eater tackles the question, “Where should I eat right now?” In the October 2023 edition, Eater DC has singled out a Montgomery County restaurant in its list of buzzworthy establishments open for less than six months. For the second consecutive month, The Farmhouse Bistro at the Crossvines (16601 W Willard Rd, Poolesville, MD) has secured a spot on this prestigious list.
Our local expert, Mr. MoCo, enthusiastically shared his thoughts, stating, “Farmhouse Bistro has quickly become one of my favorite places to eat in MoCo. The burger was one of the best I’ve ever eaten (that’s bacon and onion jam on it), and the fish and chips were the best I’ve ever had. This is one of the few places where everything was good, so anything you see, I recommend.” Check out his visit in the accompanying reel found here.
As per Eater DC:
Nestled in the scenic hillsides of Montgomery County, Crossvines is a winery, events venue, research vineyard, and rustic dining destination all in one. The Farmhouse Bistro is helmed by Maryland native Luis Montesinos, who most recently led the kitchen at José Andrés’ Jaleo in Las Vegas. Locally sourced lunch includes confit chicken wings with a “Cool Ranch”-style dip; fried clam and lobster sliders; and an aged brisket burger. Dinner highlights for summer include Chesapeake crab cakes and sweet corn; wild Chesapeake Bay rockfish with tomato butter; and Jurgielewicz Farms duck breast adorned in Virginia strawberries and fava beans. Seasonal American menus pair well with wines made steps away.”
