6 Best Bistros near Bellevue

“Beautiful and refreshing lunch meal today at Bakes Place. The servers are helpful and kind. Chelsea, in particular, goes above and beyond, making guests feel taken care of. I really recommend the food, and the restaurant's space is ample and well-lit, with a stage, making it an excellent location for hosting meetings with a speaker, such as the Bellevue Rotary Club.“

“I had such a wonderful experience here! The roasted pigeon was incredibly flavorful, the beef cubes were tender and juicy, and the stir-fried beef rice noodles were perfectly cooked with great wok aroma. Everything tasted fresh, and the food came out quickly. The service was friendly and attentive as well. Highly recommend this restaurant!“

“Every time we come to visit my son up in WA we make time to come to Brian Carters Cellars where my son is a foundation member. Love the wines here and staff is so friendly.“

“I took the time to write a message to the absent manager about my positive experience before leaving. A tall African American staff person waited on me over a month ago. I stopped by at around 1030 pm over a month ago to order take out and relax after being locked out of mu car while remodeling my stupid condo for resale. Today I stopped by earlier on a Monday to get the same order after doing tons of errands The same woman stopped by while I was beIng tended by a different staff. She greeted me and remembered that I sat by the window last time. I was amazed. Today was literally the 2nd time that I had ever been there. She recalled what I had ordered. I ordered fish chips to go and a vodka martini while waiting It’s really a great experience to be remembered and is community building I wish I had her name and am sorry I don’t have it Please give her a raise!! She made my dayTWICE“

“This is a Seattle Community College run bistro, foods were tasty and great options for lunch. Wish the foods were more hotter instead just lukewarm.

We had steak frites, pan seared bay sockeye, crispy fried cod & French fries can be better (too dry for me).“

“Keep in mind that there is a hot food "dead hour" from 10am - 11am as they transition from breakfast to lunch. During this time, however, you can still grab a sandwich or whatever is in the cooler. Coffee is still available during that hour.That being said, there are usually two options. One typically includes a meat protein while the other is usually vegetarian (not vegan). Both options are almost always sub $10.00. For Seattle, this is a great value for what you get and the meals are typically pretty health focused. After all, you're at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance so that adds up.This review is still during the pandemic (Delta Variant being the current big one), and a lot of patrons will be immunocompromised. It's nice to have this option and the tables spread far enough apart and cleaned regularly. Staff is very friendly. I see the odd review from non Seattle natives thinking that the staff is slightly standoffish, but I believe that's just a culture difference and people mistaking our mannerisms for curtness. I'll stop the review here before it gets more preachy. Overall I definitely recommend.“
