“ A charming and authentic French restaurant tucked near Pike Place Market. We've visited twice for brunch and had a wonderful experience each time. The menu changes with the seasons, which makes every visit exciting and fresh. Highlights for us included the freshly squeezed orange juice, the flavorful sardine sandwich, and the delightful petite charcuterie board. The duck pâté is an absolute must-try, and the seasonal soup was light, balanced, and delicious. The service is warm and welcoming. The staff are not only friendly but also very knowledgeable—they offered thoughtful recommendations and excellent pairing suggestions. Overall, a fantastic dining experience. We’ll definitely be coming back ”
“ We had such a great dinner! We were able to get in before our 8:30 reservation. We ordered the chicken upon sitting down and liesurely tried the meats, the peppers and the Bibb salads. Jim, the owner, was our server and his recommendations were fabulous. ”
“ This is the 2nd time I have dined here, the prior time was for dinner two years ago, but my experience was remarkable consistent and excellent. You should come here for one reason and one reason only- because you love or want to experience high quality cured or kitchen processed meats. I am told the bread is also excellent, but the meats are so good I usually give up using the bread and just enjoy the meat with pure joy. The service is also remarkably helpful and friendly. My only complaint is that there is limited seating and can be crowded when full, but some people like that. I think they could fill a bigger venue. Despite that the atmosphere is not raucous but sophisticated, yet casual wear acceptable. ”
“ Excellent service and fine dining experience. Our servers Sam and Robert were exceptionally studious and considerate, catering to our needs while maintaining friendly and stylish professionalism you'd expect from only the best of local Seattle. The quality and preparation of the food is top notch. There are some wonderful techniques going on in the Le Pichet kitchen - culinary enthusiasts will be exceptionally pleased dining here. I look forward to returning and trying more. The atmosphere is refined yet comfortable and cozy. The menu is suitable for anyone to read, with plates and meal experience catered towards that of France. Fresh seafood, sauces, and house bread. The beverage selection is wonderful, covering a range of localities and taste profiles. Didn't have a chance to try desserts, but the selection included unique decadent and seasonal ingredients. With the location on a bustling downtown strip, expect traffic noise with outdoor seating and an urban dining setting. Our servers were well versed in providing a great and comfortable quality experience regardless. Reservations are recommended to secure preferred seating, and the staff goes above and beyond to serve everyone. ”
“ Such a lovely little spot. If I ever imagine myself owning a restaurant it would be a little beauty like this one. Staff is warm, kind, and straightforward. We had cheese and meat to start. Beautiful wines (I adore the assortment of sizes you can order). The most beautifully cooked salmon I have ever had. Just the best. ”
