    This French bistro possesses both a legendary roast chicken and an informal charm that makes you want to linger all afternoon with some charcuterie and cheese. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

    My favourite brunch place in Seattle! They serve Caffe Vita, which is my one love and authentic french dishes. Cheese plate is very small, but sophisticated.

    Cozy on a rainy day. Sit at the bar and enjoy a charcuterie plate.

    Saucissons and salade verte are two of my favorites here. A great spot to dine alone!

    The cafe latte is amazing no matter the barista. I love that they have bar options but I've never tried yet. The charcuterie and cheese board options are worth every calorie. Need to come for dinner!

    When in the most French of restaurants, do as the French do and be sure to order a pichet of wine with your meal.

    "If you're like me and have a real soft spot for a superb well-executed old-school French bistro, Le Pichet is one of the best in the country."

    The falafel salad was super tasty. Savory falafel served over a melon salad with a light vinaigrette, great way to start a nice day. Note: if you want the quiche, they only serve it after 11:30am. :(

    Breakfast is actually one of my favorite meals here. Go with the fresh baked pastries or the Eufs plats. Add a fresh squeezed OJ and a delicious drip coffee and you are all set.

    Charming bistro feels straight out of Paris. Falafel is excellent but don’t come unless you’re a charcuterie person

    Great spot for afternoon espresso or glass of wine. The candy caramels are melt in your mouth delish!

    The croissants are crusted to perfection! They run out quickly so I recommend ordering pastries once you sit down.

    The eggs and ham are a treat and so is the charcuterie! The orange juice was fresh and refreshing.

    They seem to have a seasonal menu, but the poached fish with lobster over chard was amazing this fall.

    The menu is authentic French and excellent. A pity they serve San Pellegrino instead of Perrier or Badoit. Nobody speaks French in this place. Don’t try to pay with American Express.

    Love the baked eggs, the quiche, and the soup du jour is good. They also make fresh squeezed mimosas that are terrific.

    The steak frites was tough and the fries burnt. The salads verte was good and I liked the amuse bouche.

    This is the best and most authentic simple French food you'll ever get in Seattle and possibly the whole of the West Coast.

    Feels exactly like being back at my favorite cafes in Paris. Go for the delicious small plates of typical french bistro food, good by the glass french wine list and $3 Pastis!

    If you're not sure which wine to get, ask your server - we had her bring us her favorite 3, and chose from that. We also shared the cheese plate which was awesome. Read more
