Small French bistro at Pike Place Market is a jewel that never stops shining. Mostly locals eat here, which makes it one of the last great restaurants you can get a seat at near the market. Breakfast and lunch are first come first serve. Reservations taken for dinner seating. It's very small and intimate inside, but that's what I love. If you go for breakfast note that there are only a few croissants made so grab them before all sold out. I usually don't get there in time, so this last visit I ordered and ate 2!! Worth skipping lunch and dinner for! The staff is always great, so attentive. So it's worth the 18% required gratuity. Usually, I don't go to places that automatically add it to your bill because I think a "tip" is earned for above & beyond service. I still think the restaurant and service industry needs to figure out how to pay their own employees' fair wage + insurance then leave "tip" to the discretion of the customer. Why call it a "tip" if it's mandatory??!!! Just raise your dish prices accordingly and leave tips to be earned for above and beyond service already.
This venue definitely brings a unique vibe to French dining. The pâté was absolutely amazing and while the steak was delicious, the fries that came with it were way over salted.
The staff were not overly friendly and they also automatically included a 20% tip in the bill.
So good. We enjoyed every dish we had. The chef's choice of 8 types of charcuterie was surprisingly good, not overly salty. The sockeye salmon is very easily overcooked and becomes so dry and flaky but they did a good job. The fish is so tender and the sauce and the veggies are a great compliment to the dish. We will come back again whenever we are in Seattle.
Popular place with a good vibe. The food, however, was underwhelming. My French onion soup was burnt and the various pâtés were fairly bland. My cocktail was well made.
i didn't take a picture of the charcuterie (which was also amazing!) we got the gnocchi, duck breast, and hot chocolate w/cream. we also got two glasses of red wine.
the food is delicious. my favorite was the chocolate with cream 😋 it was soooo good
An authentic French cafe that transports you back to France. The asparagus salad with salty olive paste is fresh, light, and delicious. The Patê with honey walnuts, pickles, Dijon mustard, and fresh baguette is a delicious appetizer to share. This is a wonderfully unique cafe for an afternoon snack or brunch that is quite different than what you will find in the rest of Seattle. Certainly worth a try.
I got the catch of the day and it's the best salmon I had in a long while. The atmosphere reminds me a lot of the French street front bistro I dined at when visiting Paris, short of accordion music playing. The service was great too. Note the service charge is included in the check.
All great french restaurant 👌 😋 👍🏻
Brunch is good price and very fast service !
French Ham is so yum
Service fee is included in total.
Parking is very hard. So if you see any parking lot in a few block, just park there.
Pretty good food, great selection of wines, and quick and friendly staff.
The apricot jam was excellent, cod purée was very good, and asparagus salad was good, however it lacked something to it. Overall it was a good experience.
What a GEM. We take good food for granted in this corner of the world, but few places nail *atmosphere* so well (with food to match, of course).
Le Pichet will totally transport you to an imaginary Paris. I loved the perfect music, delicious food & wine, & great service – all at “neighborhood” prices.
I sat with my glass of wine and a book for hours; the fabulous meal was just a bonus. The complimentary bread & butter is delicious. I loved my salad of bitter chicories with a house-made sausage of sweetbreads (for folks who don’t know, that’s a nice word for parts Americans don’t get to eat very often). The highlight for me was the “chaud” – dipping spoonfuls of whipped cream into a hot, thick, bittersweet chocolate – a dessert neither overly sweet nor (somehow!) overly rich.
Will *totally* be back here for date night.
Dinner was lovely, the atmosphere was cozy and eclectic with a touch of quaint, the food was fabulous and the prices were very reasonable. Service was excellent.
Lovely french cafe in downtown Seattle. Food is top notch, staff are professional, and the inside is warm and welcoming.
The 100% hand peeled and squeezed orange juice was very refreshing and a nice touch.
Excellent mulled wine, cheese, charcuterie, and salad with a true, European vibe. Did have to wait 20 minutes to be seated, but worth it. Hostess/server had good sense of humor which we appreciated.
Le Pichet is a Seattle institution. Consistently high quality food, service, wine and cocktails. Was very busy in the Thursday night we were there. We had a perfectly roasted chicken, chicken liver pate and chocolate mousse. Yummy! We love this place.
Very very good latte!
The charcuterie breakfast was delicious. Everything was delicious but nothing exceptional. Giving 5 stars because overall we had a good time. The waitress was friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was great for a cozy Sunday brunch!
