Description

If you're taking it up a notch for lunch, miss the coziness of the pre-renovation Virginia Inn next door, or really can pronounce French dishes, Le Pichet is right up your alley. Intimate and sophisticated, in a casual way, it's right out of Paris, though located at the nexus of the Market and the good end of Post Alley (Pink Door, White Horse). Devotees of this echt-French cafe insist that it is, dollar for dollar, the biggest restaurant bargain in Seattle. It's hard to argue with them. The wine list is a dream, and the whole meal costs about half what a similarly splendid one at most venues elsewhere would run.

    Brioches typically lean more on the dainty side, with flourishes such as scalloped edges and a little bead of dough at the top. But visit Le Pichet, the closer-to-Dieu French cafe in Belltown, and you... More »
