Does anyone remember Cafe La Rouche in White Flint Mall? It was on the third floor, across from the movie theaters. They had the most delicious French desserts. I use to order this ginormous chocolate cake roll, filled with sweet cream. They had a vanilla version too, with strawberries and cream. They were also one of the few cafes that served floating islands. Theirs were delicious.
I also miss Gino's down on Wisconsin Avenue. My parents used to take me there a LOT when I was in grade school. The burgers were so good, I remember.
In the 70s, my mother took me to a place in Bethesda called The Treat Well, and I had a delicious hamburger there. I was in kindergarten, but I remember it was one of the tastiest burgers I had ever had. It was on Old Georgetown Road, across from what is now La Madeleine. There's a high rise there now.
Maggie's Pizza in Wheaton was another childhood memory. My parents would take us kids there for pizza, and we sat in the restaurant at a table. Sounds odd to recall, but we rarely sat in a restaurant just to eat pizza.
Also, does anyone remember Hunan on Rockville Pike? It turned into a Land Rover dealership, but I remember the minced squab soup they served there was one of the most delectable soups I had ever tasted.
