Reservations have opened for Bouboulina, which is set to open this Friday, March 21 on the street level of 921 Meeting Street in North Bethesda’s Pike & Rose neighborhood. Our very own Mr. MoCo attended a friends and family event and has put together a preview video that’s available below.
The full-service American grill influenced by Mediterranean cuisine is named for Bouboulina, a heroine of the Greek War of Independence who commanded her own fleet and private army and became the first woman in world naval history to become an admiral. The restaurant will feature a wood-fired grill, premium steak cuts, fresh seafood and house baked breads with Mediterranean influences that celebrate the founders’ heritage and roots.
Ted Xenohristos, Dimitri Moshovitis and Ike Grigoropoulos are behind Bouboulina, the team’s third restaurant at Pike & Rose, that joins a collection of popular and award-winning dining choices available in the neighborhood. Melina, which opened in 2021, is name after Dimitri’s daughter and is located on the street level of 909 Rose near the group’s first restaurant, French Mediterranean concept, Julii, which opened in 2018. The partners are also the co-founders of CAVA, the Mediterranean fast-casual concept, which is publicly held.
