Levante's

Levante's is a successful chain of restaurants that originated in Austria in 1984, with a focus on introducing the cuisine of the eastern Mediterranean region in a casual, full-service format. The concept has expanded to multiple locations in Europe, with a high level of repeat patronage and strong customer loyalty. Levante's also offers a comprehensive franchise program, with the first U.S. location opening in 1998 in Bethesda, Maryland. The restaurant in Dupont Circle has become a prominent gathering place for foreign diplomats, embassies, lobbyist groups, and more, offering traditional Turkish and Mediterranean cuisine in a casual dining atmosphere with an open kitchen and wood fired ovens.
