We came here for dinner. Restaurant was nearly EMPTY but got seated in a box near the back. We requested to move to a table by the window but hostess said something like the server doesn't serve there!?? we were like, what? 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. read more

I read amazing reviews and we were excited to give it a try. 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. read more

I've heard such nice things about Le Coin over the years. Now through personal experience, I found that the food was good but not mind blowing.... also the portions are half of what they were a couple years ago. There are not many updated photos on yelp, so when I was deciding to eat here I was judging it from photos taken years ago. Well I took some updated photos so people know what they are getting. What threw me was the chicken and waffles I ordered. From old photos you get a whole waffle.... now it's half. Service was not the most friendly. Workers seemed like they hated their job. Also slow considering only a couple tables were occupied. read more

Wonderful food and service! Highly recommend the prix fix brunch menu. Perfect serving size with a starter, main and dessert. Relaxed neighborhood vibe that is kid and family friendly. *Note - Le Coin requires a $5 per person deposit when you make a reservation. Remind your server to deduct that amount off your bill. read more

We've always wanted to try Le Coin, and happened to be in the area yesterday and were able to walk in at about 8:15pm with no reservation. I loved our little table, and the entire restaurant had such a European vibe. We asked our server a lot of questions about food and drinks, and he steered us in the right direction. We had the tomato peach salad, the octopus, the New York steak, and the beef tenderloin. The steak was divine! I loved how it was accompanied by a bordelaise sauce and herb butter. The fries had crispy sage on top which was SO GOOD. Everything was seasoned well and was balanced. Both my partner and I were very satisfied with our choices. To pair with our delicious bites, I had two fabulous glasses of French red wine, and my partner loved his cocktails. We didn't know about their extensive chartreuse list, so that was a cool surprise! We're already talking about planning a trip back. read more

I visited Le Coin for brunch on a Saturday with a friend. Staff was nice and friendly. We shared the omelette, waffles, and granola for the table. The dish presentation was wonderful. The food was pretty good but I thought the granola wasn't really worth it since I could recreate it at home easily. Same goes for the omelette, but there are times like this when you don't feel like making them yourself so you get it somewhere else. read more

My go-to date night spot. Get the oysters and mussels. Service is fast and friendly, and if they have it, get the adult slushies. They have a particular good happy hour as well. The steaks are also fantastic. I wish for their bread service (which is pretty expensive for what you get) I wish they would at least... warm or heat up the bread a bit. read more

Le Coin - Oysters - Seafood Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Had dinner at Le Coin and I must say this is a great French Bistro type setting in the Fremont District of Seattle. At a quick glance the menu screams local seafood focus. For example they had king salmon and local oysters as options. Just a smart way to support local businesses and offer very fresh options. Also they specialized in Chartreuse liquors. I'm not super familiar but their Strawberry Old Fashioned was a great sweeter take on a classic. The table had a variety of appetizers to start: Bread with cheese upgrade, Oysyters, Octopus and Salmon Tatare. All were delicious. The oysters were definitely fresh and had a few mignonette sauces. My favorite was the octopus. it was grilled and accompanied with a warm vegetable and beans. Nice on a cold night. My main course was the NY Strip with Demi glaze. The glaze went with my Cote Du Rhône wine selection. The steak itself was perfectly cooked and tender, but the glaze was a little sweet. The accompanying mushrooms were yummy as well. The service was friendly and kept a good pace. Multiple folks checked on us and cleared things appropriately. Overall a great place I would make a regular if I lived in Seattle. PS The profiteroles were bomb. Definitely recommend. read more

I'm waffling between a 3 and 4 star for my recent visit. The restaurant has not changed in the last few years. Same layout with lots of space. They do take reservations but require a deposit per head. Its not a bad thing to have though as they got busy on a Saturday night. I was there with a party of 6 and a couple of our party where late. I think that may have been the issue. The food was amazing as always. Drinks where well made. The main issue was the server. They where extremely short and brusque. They gave the impression that we where an inconvenience to them and taking to long. That was not the level of service I was used to at Le Coin. read more

Le Coin is a French restaurant that is accommodating to all types of price ranges - from nice deals at happy hour to tasting menu formats. I heard good things about the food here and wasn't in the mood for a spendy meal, so my friend and I went here during happy hour which happens 4-6pm. We made a reservation just in case and showed up early but they still accommodated us since it's not busy. We got the Le Coin frites, half dozen oysters, pork rillettes, and grilled lamb shoulder to share. The frites (fries) is very flavorful with rosemary, so just fries without anything is already a good dish. The bone marrow aioli topped up the flavor though it is a bit muted compared to the flavorful fries. The oysters were pretty good - they're the large ones which I'm not a big fan of but it was fresh and not too strong of a flavor so it was fine. Besides the mignonette, they had another sauce that's like soy sauce based which I liked more. Pork rillettes is more like acquired taste since while they prepared it well, I didn't particularly enjoy it. The dish is fairly balanced with sourdough bread, pickled vegetables, and salad. Grilled lamb shoulder is delicious. It's quite small in comparison to the other dishes, but I would happily order this again. It's served medium rare which is my preferred done-ness for red meats. Service is very good. We got checked up on a few times without feeling too overbearing and the water refills were constant. I had a positive experience overall, and I would happily come back for a more spendy format or even try the rest of the happy hour dishes again! read more

Had a wonderful HH and dinner at Le Coin tonight. The food was so good we kept ordering and ordering. Got 3 rounds of oysters, 2 rounds of Brussels sprouts, 2 rounds of mussels, lamb shoulder, pork pete plate, tomahawk steak, sable head fish, truffle pasta and frites! I'd say the oysters were so fresh and the garlic vinaigrette that came with it helped balance the earthiness of the shellfish. My son loved the mussels, he almost didn't want to share. I loved the Brussels sprouts. It was browned and have a lovely red wine glace on them. It was sooooo good! The entire dinner was very nice. This place get filled up very quickly. I think a reservation is a must. read more

We went to Le Coin for my boyfriends birthday and oh my gosh the food here was exceptional! I've never had food quite like this before, the tomahawk steak in particular was absolutely divine and was lately so beautifully, everything was presented so intentionally it was almost too pretty to eat! The service was also very good, our waitress was very attentive and made sure we were taken care of the whole night! This restaurant is kind of tucked away but once you walk in it's like you're transported somewhere else completely! I didn't know you could even find somewhere like this in seattle honestly, the vibes were immaculate! It's a bit dark and moody but the lights illuminated the food in such a perfect way as if they had little spotlights on them! It was a bit expensive but so worth it for a celebration! Parking was challenging to find but just come a bit early and carpool! read more

Cute little restaurant! We ordered the Wagyu steak, oysters, grilled octopus, french onion soup, and the trofie pasta. And bread of course! Bread & fig butter: 5/10 the fig butter was to die for but the bread was incredibly stale and if you're charging $10+ for some bread it better be at least fresh and toasty. I did love the intentional addition of pickled onions with the fig butter however! Oysters: 10/10! Very fresh and loved the pairings that came with it. French onion soup: 10/10 genuinely one of the richest ive tried. The flavor was very developed and it was just a perfect bite. Grilled octopus: 6/10 had charred bits that added a great flavor but wish it was more consistent throughout the entire octopus. The greens paired very well and the sauce also added a nuttiness that was hard to forget. Also was a bit salty. Wagyu steak: 7/10 the portion was a bit small but the reduction paired extremely well with the steak! Fries were okay, not much flavor or crispiness but could tell it was made fresh. Pasta: 2/10 although lamb is known to be a bit gamey, in my opinion it was overpowering the dish. The smell was not very pleasant, and while the noodle shape was cute, it was a bit undercooked. I enjoy a great al dente pasta but this was a bit below that title. This was the only dish of the night we didn't eat. Overall, while this restaurant satisfied our hungry stomachs, I wouldn't come back because appetizers outshined the main entrees. The service was also unmemorable. It was a nice experience though! read more

This was an interesting experience as it was a mothers day brunch for us and we decided we wanted something a little different, Le coin was recommended as a great mothers day brunch spot and so why not! We were received warmly and guys please please please, be nice to your wait staff, they are trying their very best, especially on these occasions. Our hostess was a little shocked by whatever transpired before we came and still had the biggest small and welcome for us, well done Le Coin staff. The restaurant itself is quaint on the inside with lots of tables and booths and outdoor tables as well. The food was a little hit and miss and by that I mean, there wasn't anything there that I had that I would like to have again, it might very well have been our choices so I wouldn't rule it out entirely, but let's get to the food and take it from there Apple Fritters 5/5 these bad boys came out hot and steamy exactly the temp you want your fritters, burn your mouth off yum! I would say they were around 5/6 pieces and my husband swears the apple butter was something out of this world Chicken and Waffles 3/5 I love me a good chicken and waffles and this promised to be something good, my only issue is when something to the plate is added that is not on the menu. So when my dish came out with a swirl of fruity/berry sauce and I am very averse to sending a dish back, I ended up trying to eat around it which was difficult. Aside from that the chicken was cooked well but lacked anything that made it drool worthy, the waffle itself might have been better served if it was the Belgian Waffle instead of the cornmeal. It was simply a lackluster dish Crispy Fried Chicken Sandwich 4/5 Kid absolutely loved the sandwich, spice level, cook, size absolutely yum, the only thing needed was a crunchier coating for the chicken Le Coin Burger 5/5 my daughter ranked this as in her top 3 best burgers and she does like a good burger, cooked exactly as ordered and tasted great Cassoulet +Lamb 3/5 The flavors in this dish were on point! Two issues those, more care needs to be considered when adding lamb pieces as a larger piece was not edible, and there really needed to be some bread to soak up all those yummy juices. All in all it wasn't something we'd order again A cute little establishment with great potential, not anything id be in a rush to visit again read more

Celebrated my birthday her last night and it was great! Food was delicious and well portioned. My only thoughts of critique are for the octopus ~ its grilled but they put a bunch of garnish on top so it takes the "grilled" crunchiness away (which is my fav part of a grilled octopus) I don't drink, but indulged in some mocktails that were also delicious but the Faux 75 tasted like a vinegary plastic ~ but the others were YUM. Would highly recommend adding some vegan desserts! Wasn't able to have any of those unfortunately read more

Le Coin - Seafood Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Le coin is great. It's French-inspired, and you can tell they prioritize quality. We recently did the chef's tasting for a birthday (pictured), and each dish was as beautiful as it was delicious. Brunch is my personal favorite. As someone who isn't usually a "breakfast person," I love their ability to balance savory flavors without being overly heavy. The Le Coin Toast paired with a French press is my go-to, while my husband, who prioritizes quantity, highly recommends the chicken and waffles. The atmosphere and service is good, but you come here for the food. read more

Foot is quite good, but pricey. Service is great - attentive. However I was surprised by 2 things: 1. A lot of shell fragments in the oysters. Yes, they could be, but it was in almost every oyster. 2. We ordered dessert with the tea. Tea was in a plastic kettle. Plastic! Is it restaurant or some dive bar? read more

Delicious food, excellent wine menu. Staff is attentive and accommodating. Love the outdoor dining. Highly recommend.

Wonderful brunch spot in Fremont a couple of blocks from a bus stop and walkable for those in the area. We tried their mid-week three-course brunch and got the Lyonnaise salad / granola, chicken & waffles, and apple fritters / sorbet for dessert ($35 for three courses). Overall very tasty and fun to get to try different menu items. Ultimately my favorite order is the croque madame (perfect mixture of hearty and savory with a think slice of bread, ham, sunny-side egg and cheesy sauce with a fresh side of spring greens) but would love to come back and try their ham croissant and huckleberry clafoutis. Nice dog-friendly servers and outdoor seating on sunny days! read more

The worst meal I have had in a very long time, maybe ever. We ended up leaving without eating any of our food. I don't post many reviews, putting this out as a PSA in hopes that this restaurant can improve. First of all, there were SO MANY fruit flies. We were swatting at these the entirety of our dinner and were seated right by the kitchen. This made us wonder about the food safety/hygiene of the kitchen. We came here for dinner and started with the halibut chowder, which was so salty it was nearly inedible--that's coming from someone who usually adds extra salt to everything. For our mains, we ordered the salmon and the lemon pasta. I requested my salmon medium rare, but when it arrived, it was completely raw in the center with only a light sear on the skin. By raw, I mean the flesh had to be torn apart rather than flaked, and the center was cold to the touch and entirely uncooked. The lemon pasta was equally disappointing. The pasta itself tasted like it came straight from a box and was sitting in about an inch of watery, nearly flavorless "sauce." When we mentioned this, we were told that the dish is vegan, as if that explained the consistency. I've had plenty of excellent vegan dishes, and there are countless ways to create a flavorful sauce without milk or butter. Vegan and bland are not synonymous. There were some positives. The wait staff was good overall, and the presentation of some of the dishes was appealing. It's clear there are some good ideas here, but the execution fell quite short. read more

Came for brunch on a weekday, had heard good things about the place so we were keen to try it out. We were welcomed warmly and escorted to our seats promptly. We started off with their popular apple fritters which were served hot, these were fluffy and had a nice texture/mouthfeel but I did not think there was enough of the apple flavor (4/5). For entrees my husband ordered the chicken & waffles which were decent but not the best we've ever had (4/5). I got the crab benedict which had a good amount of crabmeat on it but I thought the flavor was a bit lacking (3/5). The accompanying potatoes were crispy and well-executed however. Overall this was a cute restaurant with a cozy/romantic ambience but I felt the flavors were not strong enough and the food a bit overpriced so I am not sure if I would return tbh. read more

Went here for one of my birthday dinners and did the chef's tasting menu! Wow! I had been here before just for regular dining, but wow all the food that came out for the chef's tasting menu was spectacular. I didn't not like anything. If anything I wanted more of it all, but the portions are good for all the courses you get. Their tasting menu changes frequently, which is nice to know you won't get the same thing twice. The whole experience was wonderful. The service was excellent, so friendly. I would highly recommend Le Coin, even if you're not doing the tasting menu. Their food is delicious. read more

I'm not big on clams or shelled fish (their most popular thing) but I have enjoyed their weekday (Thursday) brunch menu. There was plenty of food (pancake stack, eggs, and sausage) for the price and the food came out fast. Staff was very nice and came to check often. And a nice vibe and people-watching street location. I only gave a 4/5 because I have come here for dinner with one family member, without a reservation once, and the restaurant was absolutely empty at that time, literally nobody there (got there at 5pm), and they declined to sit us. Turned out ok that evening cuz we walked a block over to Lupo instead, which never disappoints. read more

4.5 stars, rounding up to 5 overall, and review for special menu only. Came here for a Valentine's day menu set (which they kindly ran all weekend so we went on a Sunday instead of on Saturday, which may have impacted the experience) and it was one of the best that I've tried! Casual ambience with plenty of street parking available on that Sunday. Our table was ready and set when we got there with menu out and a rose. This was a four course set menu (and added the foie gras torchon) and my only major criticism was that the portion size of the entree was tiny, but I otherwise was very happy with the meal overall. We started off with what was labelled as a dungeness crab bisque, but it was really a mixture of seafoods in a bisque. It did come out lukewarm for some reason, but not a deal breaker so we just finished it. It was otherwise creamy and tasty. My favorite dish was next which were the "Japanese scallops" (I was tempted to ask if that meant hokkaido). The course came with two scallops that were large and lightly seared, still raw on the inside which was perfect for us since it highlighted the quality. The sauce with it was a little too sweet for me, but overall still an excellent dish. The entree was a seared wagyu and it was tasty but pretty small for an entree; we both had 3 petite slices total and one of my slices was the edge piece that was completely flat. That being said, the quality of the meat was superb and the dish was excellent. We did get the foie gras torchon which is essentially a small pot of foie gras. It does not come with bread (bread service is an extra charge, which is no big deal but we're not big eaters and felt like it would be a waste/we would become very full so declined). Our waiter was very kind and brought out a few slices of bread anyways in case we did not like having the foie gras placed on top of the meat. Dessert was also excellent (the portion though, was comically big compared to the entree but really filled us up). There were 3 large pillowy warm doughy beignets with a side of nutella and it was delicious though I could have used a little more powdered sugar. Overall, I was very happy/satisfied with all four courses, service was excellent and we had a nice evening out. read more

Ordered 2 steak and eggs for brunch one was medium rare the other medium well. Took an hour waitress didn't check on us or update us at all. Once food came out both steaks came out cold and medium well. Sauce was forgotten, no butter was offered for the toast. They remade the steak got a whole new plate in 5 minutes which is odd because we waiting an hour for the original food. Eggs were salted to death. No apology no manager check in. Very disappointed in the whole experience and food. Save your money and time read more

Great French spot in Fremont with with oysters, steak frites, a solid bar program, and more! Le Coin has happy hour oysters, so definitely come by for those. I had seared albacore with eggplant which was a great combo which I wouldn't necessarily think of. My father had steak frites, and there are a few choices. But the entry level NY strip was fantastic. The bar program is also a plus. Loved the classic cocktails and nice to see some nice options with Chartreusse. They also do feature spirits each month (it's currently June Mezcal and Rhum Agricole). Wine list is primarily French with some Italian and Spanish, although there are also some nice PNW selections as well. Service is solid, and we really enjoyed the overall experience. read more

This was one of the best dining experiences I have had in a long time! The service really stood out to us. We had made a dinner reservation for NYE but my partner got sick and they were kind enough to let us reschedule it to another day. On the day of our reservation, they called us to check if we had any dietary preferences. We enjoyed siting at the chef's counter and watching them cook us tasty food. Their cocktail menu is interesting with lot of chartreuse drinks. They even have an excellent wine and N/A drink program. I tried the 9th century cocktail, it was delicious. Our server was extremely knowledgeable and we liked hearing about where it's sourced from and little anecdotes about the menu. I thought everything on the tasting menu was amazing. We loved the mix of seafood and meat dishes. The lamb was a standout dish! I would describe it as French meets PNW. This would be a great place for a special occasion. read more

Beware of seafood freshness!! We came to Le coin to celebrate a birthday, and walked away slightly disappointed. The next morning I was VERY disappointed though, as I woke up with the runs after not being able to sleep due to stomach discomfort. Because it was a birthday, we ordered more of the pricey seafood dishes than we normally would allow ourselves. For appetizers we got the grilled octopus, bread service, and roasted beet salad. The beet salad was simple, but not in a good way. It felt under dressed, not really roasted, and frankly kind of flavorless. The octopus was pretty good flavorwise, but the texture almost sickly soft- like it had gone past it's best by date. For mains we got the halibut and salmon- the halibut was delicious! The king salmon, however, tasted slightly off and the texture was not quite what I was expecting from a $45 piece of fish. The pavlova for dessert was amazing though! Overall, we spent $280 on a bit of a disappointing birthday meal, and got some food poisoning as well. This was my third time to Le Coin and I hoped it would change my mind- I am local to the area and was rooting for the place! Bummed to report that the quality does not quite match the price tag. read more

Excellent place for special dinner! My birthday week ended with this French restaurant. I first wanted to go to the new ramen spot in Fremont but arrive a few minutes after the last order time and was rejected.. started off pretty bad feeling.. But this restaurant and the server saved me. We ordered the steak, happy hour bean dish ( totally forgot the name) and the fries. It's nice they have happy hour everyday including weekends. I have this impression French restaurants in Seattle are more mixed with Italian like pasta. But this restaurant is actual French with complicated sauce, quality ingredients, using ingredients like caviars, lamb and duck. The server was extremely knowledgeable that I went with his suggestions which didn't disappoint. All the dishes were delicious but I really liked the steak dish. Perfect doneness and flavorful sauce accompanied by roasted vegetables. Must have! They gave me free birthday dessert of my choice, a birthday card, and the candle for wish. Will come again for another special occasion. read more

First time at Le Coin, and I'm already planning my return. The menu impressed immediately--thoughtful range from regular offerings to happy hour specials to vegetarian options, plus a drinks selection that's clearly curated with care. But what really makes this place special is the atmosphere: the space feels exactly right, and whoever's choosing the music understands the assignment. Our server elevated the entire experience. Classically trained (a rarity these days), attentive without hovering, and communicated with the kind of confidence that comes from real expertise. He was on top of everything. We went with small bites, drinks, and dessert--every plate delivered. The flavors were beautifully balanced, nothing heavy-handed, just thoughtful execution across the board. Everything worked. Le Coin earned a regular. I'll be back.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more
