"a passion for cooking & community"

District Bistro specializes in classic American cuisine featuring high-quality ingredients sourced from local farm Co-ops and Creameries. Founded and led by Chef Pedro Matamoros, who boasts three decades of expertise with notable establishments such as the Tabard Inn, Nicaro, 8407 Kitchen Bar, and Bluebird Cocktail Room in Baltimore.

Following the establishment of Franks Burger Place in Wheaton, alongside his sons Marlon and Derek Matamoros, Chef Pedro recognized an opportunity to address a culinary gap in Wheaton. Motivated by a passion for cooking and community, he set out to create a casual eatery that would offer exceptional food and classic handcrafted cocktails in a relaxed environment.
