A Tradition of Flavor, A Passion for Freshness
Every dish we serve is rooted in tradition and made with care. We believe in fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and creating a welcoming space where every meal feels like home.
A Tradition of Hospitality and Flavor
In 1989, I opened the doors to Parthenon Greek Restaurant & Chevy Chase Lounge with one goal in mind—to share the food and hospitality that I grew up with. I wanted to create a place where every guest felt like family, where a meal wasn’t just about eating but about connection, warmth, and tradition.

Growing up in a Greek household, I learned that food brings people together. Whether it was a family dinner or a community gathering, every meal was made with care and shared with love. That same spirit lives on at Parthenon. Every dish on our menu reflects the recipes and flavors that have been passed down through generations.
A Community Favorite Since 1989
For over 30 years, Parthenon has been a part of the Washington D.C. and Bethesda communities. We’ve had the joy of serving generations of families, meeting new friends, and becoming a go-to spot for locals and visitors alike. We are honored to have received a 100/100 health score, a testament to our commitment to quality and cleanliness.
Fresh Ingredients, Authentic Recipes
At Parthenon, we take pride in serving real Greek food, prepared fresh daily. From our Greek salad to our famous chicken kabob, each dish is made with simple, high-quality ingredients. We believe that good food should be fresh, flavorful, and comforting. That’s why we never cut corners—what we serve is what we would cook for our own families.
