I chose Le Pichet because it was near my hotel and had received good reviews. I also noticed it did not serve traditional breakfast. I was up for a challenge. First of all I loved the exterior and interior. So French. I sat at the bar so I could watch. I ordered the eggs asparagus. Wonderful. Almost cooked eggs over... More

Wow, we had such a good dInner, we booked a table for the day after as well. Great food and the best wines! Nice menu with good options for meat, fish or veggie eaters. We both loved it. Husband had a delicious pork sausage plate and I had the fish of the day. The espresso after was also very good.... More

The food is great! The acoustics are not so good. The atmosphere is okay. The bathrooms not so clean. Prices were pretty crazy expensive for the portion size. Probably would not revisit unless I was craving quiche or steelhead, which were very very yummy!

I loved the unusual things to choose from on the menu. we ordered a small meat plate and let them choose which meat. We also had an asparagus plate with hard boiled eggs, and other nummies! The bread was amazing,however they need to keep the butter coming with every plate of bread, baby!!

I've worked in restaurants where either the food or the location gives the establishment an edge. This edge can sometimes be exploited by staff, or the management itself, to cut corners on important parts of the experience. Being in downtown Seattle, this place needs to compete, but I suspect the food keeps people coming back. It was very good indeed.... More

Every trip to Seattle has to include lunch at the tiny, but excellent restaurant not too far from Pike Place Market. Small tables, shoulder to shoulder with other patrons, just like France. Limited but fine menu. Don't take a seat by the door if you don't want a draft. Highly recommended.

Le Pichet is just a block above the north end of Pike Street Market in Seattle. Away from the hustle and yet so close. The feeling of this place takes you directly to Paris. Outdoor seating with your pup on a nice day makes it even more euro. Everything I have had there is perfectly French. Portions are not huge... More

My wife and I popped in here for breakfast a few mornings ago. It was conveniently close to our hotel and on the way to the Space Needle and the reviews on tripadvisor was favorable. And simple French bistro for breakfast is always a winner in our books. The number of options on the menu for breakfast are limited, at... More

Very good food, typically French menu & fare (I can attest to it as I was born over there), with very reasonably priced wine & attentive service. An enjoyable experience.

We love French food, and were delighted to find this French restaurant in the area where we were staying. Unfortunately, we were quite disappointed. My husband was happy to see that they had Ricard Patisse, which is very hard to find in the states, but when it was served, it was literally one tablespoon. It was so small that the... More
