First Time Here Our…read morefamily came to visit Seattle for 2 days. We were staying close by and this restaurant is within walking distance from our AirBnB. We had a reservation and were seated promptly for our family of 5 (includes 3 growing hangry boys). It's a small and quaint restaurant, not a good option for 6 or more. Our reservation was at 6:45 PM and the restaurant was full. Of course you have to order bread (baguette)! We ordered the charcuterie for the boys as an appetizer, they scarfed it all down, didn't even ask what each meat was, they just ate it! We all ordered steak/frites and a house special. It was so delicious. They served me (Queen B/Mama) a lovely gin martini, because that's what is needed when you travel with 4 males...and we shared a lovely red blend. I would recommend Le Pichet if you are looking for a nice relaxing/romantic meal cooked with lots of love and care.

Best food I've had in Seattle!…read more I loved everything. We ordered a lot of different dishes and food. Meats, cheese, pickles, chocolate, olives, etc. everything as incredible. I'm so glad that I stopped in. I highly recommend this place.

Our server came and asked him if we could move, he went to ask the hostess for a while and came back and moved us to a nice table. What was wrong!?? Ambience is important. We got a bottle of nice champaigne. Everything was great!! One of the memorably tsaty food ever.

I read amazing reviews and we were excited to give it a try…read more The room is beautiful, looks and feels every part a French bistro. The restaurant was half full and we were seated at a lovely 2 top. Our server was efficient. We were in time for HH. We ordered smoked fish and potato croquettes, chicken quenelles, and a non-HH pan seared halibut. The croquettes were fine, but bland, the quenelles were also bland but in a good tarragon sauce. The halibut was dry and bland and served with woody asparagus and a fairly bitter sauce. Bland was a theme that came through everything, as was small portion size. HH options I can understand, but the halibut from the regular menu was also quite small. If you're coming here to drink wine in a pretty room, I guess this is your place.

We even got lucky to find a spot right near the restaurant. We made reservations in advance which is highly recommended for Friday and Saturday dinner, especially if you want to eat around 6-7pm. We got the following - Amuse bouche was a gazpacho. Builds up the appetite. Very refreshing. Included in the dining experience - Beef tartare - pretty fresh, a little heavier on the pickle. I liked the variety of toast they offered and they topped up the toast when we ran out - French onion soup - a bougie variation as they use veal bone broth. The smell can be a little off putting due to the pungency of the cheeses but when you take bites off the bread and soup, it's soooooo delicious. Super rich dish - Cassoulet - the duck is good. The sausage was very strongly spiced with a texture that is atypical of meat sausage but still good pairing it with the beans. I normally don't prefer beans but it soaked up the duck fat and seasoning really well. This dish was also extremely rich so just 1 entree and 2 appetizers were enough for 2 people - Ice cream - the rotating flavor was crème fraiche which felt like vanilla but extra creamy. Still doesn't beat the Movenpick ice cream from Switzerland but this is close - The wines we got (1 pet nat, 2 reds, 1 apple dessert wine) were excellent and pairs well with the respective food A few positives about this place: - They can pour wine by the half glass at exactly half the price of a glass so you get to try a bunch of wines without breaking the wallet or overcommitting - Some items are genuinely well priced - a double shot of espresso for $3 stood out - Gift cards worked with Resy credit. I stacked 4 gift cards totaling $140 on top of this month's Delta Amex Plat/Reserve $10/$20 Resy credits alongside my Amex Gold for the remainder to run multiple cards in one tab. They were patient and willing to work with me on this to use my credit card benefits fully The con about this place: - 20% mandatory gratuity. But this is one of the very few places that actually delivered service to this standard so I can't really complain - Birthday dinner but all they did was put a cheap candle in the dessert. Expected via reviews, but just a heads up

A somewhat hidden gem in Pike Place... or, a quiet refuge among all the hubbub…read more.. We stopped in for early dinner on a Tuesday evening after a hectic day of travel... A little hard to find, we knew we were close but had to call the restaurant to find the kind of hidden entrance... This was the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the views of Elliot Bay, the Seattle Wheel, Washington Ferries, and a blazing red sunset. First off, our waitress Katie was fantastic! She helped with suggestions and gave us the deets on the specials.. We opted for starters of (French) Onion Soup, Saffron Clam Chowder, and shared Green Goddess salad. The Saffron Clam Chowder was a very pleasant surprise with a saffron spiced broth and lots of clams, potatoes and carrots. NOT a New England style chowder... a very pleasant suprise indeed! The Green Goddess salad was perfect with fresh bib lettuce leaves and some small grape tomates. Entrees were the crab cakes and a salmon filet with a fresh house made pineapple salsa... both were so good. Lastly, dessert was Chocolate Pot du Creme and an Affogato. Again delicious and a perfect way to end the evening. We wasted no time in recommending Place Pigalle to friends and family!

If the timing is right, the sunset makes it even better. Food: great selection of wine and French cuisine. The mussels with baguette were a highlight. Staff: attentive and warm. My companion and I enjoyed every minute. One heads-up: the location is tucked away enough that we had to call for directions. A true hidden gem.

We had a table in the front section which was nice to be able to catch up since there was four of us. Since we had just ate dinner we were really just here for drinks however we did order the Crab & Caramelized Leek Dip which is a warm dip served with warmed house corn chips. Was very tasty. We had some of their Hpuse Creation cocktails. I had a clean vodka martini, one of my friends had a gin dirty martini with the pickled shrimp, another had a regular dirty vodka martini and one had the Dr Walnut. One of my friends got an additional cocktail the White Wolf. The dirty martinis a house brine that makes the drink look pink my friends seem to enjoy Can't say too much about ambiance since we didn't see the entire space but where we were was nicely lit and the restroom was neat. Service was great attentive and very informative. Will have to stop by for HH sometime

I loved that it wasn't overly sweet, which allowed the bright passion fruit flavor to really stand out. My boyfriend loved the hazelnut chocolate croissant--it was completely up his alley, and he was also impressed by how well laminated and layered it was. The croissant looked stunning-it tasted as good as it looked. Service was amazing. The person who grabbed our pastries and bread was super kind and nice. You can tell that a lot of thought, research, and care went into creating croissants that are as close as possible to what you might find in France. The almond croissant was also incredible. Since it was double-baked, it had an amazing crunch with every bite, and the ratio of almond filling to croissant was perfect. I would highly recommend any of their croissants and already can't wait to come back for more! The sourdough loaf, however, was fairly mediocre and nothing to write home about. I would return specifically for the pastries.

Everything was shared between the four of us, and we left with happy, full bellies. My favorites were the roasted cauliflower frittata and those crispy, tempura-battered cream puffs they were absolutely delicious!

Line went by quickly - free sparkling water on tap! Love it! If I'm ever in the Seattle area, I will stop by again for some pastries. If you wait too late in the day, the popular items go quickly.
