Such a surprise! Find your way through dark, historic hallways at the Pike Place Market and suddenly you are enjoying panoramic views of Puget Sound and, at the same time, European character, quality and charm. Elegant but not stiff...and the food is amazing! This intimate dining experience has apparently been here for more than 30 years and owner-operated since '97.... More

A French restaurant in the Pike market. We had excellent oysters followed by a seafood stew and a Northwest seafood salad. All were excellent, as was the bread. We had a view of the harbor. The young waiter got flustered and forgot to put in our verbal order so we waited quite a while until he realized his error. No... More

Underwelmed with lunch. Hardly any variety and overpriced. The service was slow and inattentive. Took 1 1/2 hours for my dad and i to get our food and eat it.

We had the weekend brunch, it was wonderful - from the fresh pastries to the delicious omelets, everyone enjoyed it. More

As much as I enjoy and admire the current trend in cooking in which simplicity and freshness are paramount, there is something about classic French cuisine that is simply irresistible, and I know of no better place in Seattle to enjoy that culinary heritage than Maximillien’s in the Pike Place Market. I mean, where else can you get a Croque... More

Great French cuisine with local Pacific seafood. A must. Has a great view over the harbour at night, [is in Pike Place market]. Good service, authentic French atmosphere and French staff. More

We tried Maximilien in the Market for Happy Hour on a gorgeous Seattle sunny day and were not disappointed. It had been a rough day and so in lieu of finding a spot in my normal favorite Pike Place garage I splurged and let the valet deal with my car. Very happy I did that! It was hot enough that... More
