DC Dining expert Don Rockwell reports that celebrity chef Mike Isabella will be opening a new location of his popular Kapnos Taverna, in the just-vacated Vapiano space at Bethesda Row.
The Greek taverna will certainly draw fans of the Top Chef alum to that corner of Woodmont Avenue and Hampden Lane, and the name recognition could be just what that somewhat-challenging location needs to be viable.
Kapnos is known for its Northern Greece-inspired spreads, spit-roasted meats, duck phyllo and other upscale Mediterranean fare. It is also known for being pricey, which probably won't be an issue in America's Richest Town. Not to mention, the restaurant will be directly across from the new, ultra-luxury The Lauren, with condos starting "from the several millions." "Bring the car around, Jeeves, for a short jaunt across the Hampden."
Kapnos has existing locations in DC and Arlington.
