Vienna Restaurant Inspections: Lezzet, Simply Social Coffee

VIENNA, VA — As Fairfax County Health Department continues to share restaurant inspection reports online, we are looking at the latest inspections in the Town of Vienna.

The health department's environmental health staff inspect over 5,200 restaurants and other retail food service establishments in Fairfax County and cities of Falls Church and Fairfax to ensure safe food handling practices are followed. This includes proper sanitation, food storage and preparation, and adequate kitchen facilities. Aside from restaurants, staff inspect child care centers, hospitals, school cafeterias, and temporary food service vendors at festivals.

Until summer 2022, food establishment inspection reports had been unavailable online since 2019 as the health department worked to launch a new online system. Residents can now search for a specific restaurant or browse a map of inspected locations through the online database.

The health department cautions residents that multiple inspection reports should be used to evaluate a restaurant rather than a single report.

This week's report focuses on June reports around the Town of Vienna. Click on each link to see full reports for each restaurant.
