French Restaurants near Bellevue, WA

“From the moment I walked in, I could tell this place was something special. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting — elegant without feeling pretentious. You can feel the care and thought that’s gone into every detail, from the décor to the music to the way the staff greets you.

The service was outstanding. Every person we interacted with was friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They didn’t just take our order — they made sure we felt welcome and cared for the entire time.

And the food… wow. Every dish tasted fresh and perfectly balanced. You can tell the chefs truly know their craft — everything from the presentation to the flavors was top-notch. The [insert your favorite dish here — e.g., “truffle pasta” or “braised short ribs”] was absolutely unforgettable, and the dessert was the perfect finishing touch.

What really sets Jocovine Bistro apart is the authenticity — it doesn’t feel like they’re trying too hard; it feels like they love what they do and want you to love it too. It’s rare to find a place that combines great food, excellent service, and genuine warmth, but this bistro nails it.

Can’t recommend it enough. Whether it’s a date night, a celebration, or just treating yourself to something special, Jocovine Bistro is the kind of place that makes you want to come back again and again.“

“We had an unforgettable French dining experience. The food was absolutely amazing (we are definitely going back for the Coq Au Vin), every dish was rich in flavor, beautifully presented and clearly made with care. The ambiance was intimate and romantic. Staff were warm and friendly without ever being intrusive. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an authentic French experience and a memorable night out!“

“The Kirkland store is my wife’s and I’s regular Saturday breakfast store. Love the food and appreciate the team there even more! Have also been to the Bellevue location where we liked the wine and desserts! Team was great there too! 👍🏿👏🏿“

“Amazing selection and even more amazing food ❤️“

“Provide high-quality local ingredients and creative dishes, with a comfortable atmosphere and attentive service.“

“Great wine selection - I loved how they make half-pour half-price of the full pours, no upcharge there.
For apps we got the tuna, foie gras, and salad. All of them were great, but the foie gras and salad were especially remarkable.
Got the steak frites as an entree. Fries were great, but steak was too tough. I would've paid more for a better cut.
Creme brulee for dessert had right flavor but wrong texture - the top layer was too chewy and the custard was too runny.
Overall enjoyed my time. Would give it a 4.4 or 4.5 if I could.“

“The Hitchcock Hotel show had it all — laughs, gasps, and a touch of burlesque spice to keep things extra fun. The performers were magnetic, the twists kept coming, and the whole show had this cheeky, sexy energy that made the night unforgettable. Great food, great drinks, great vibes. 10/10 — already planning my next visit!“

“Wonderful show, high quality and so fun! The dinner was excellent and the drinks too“

“Still the best French baked goods in Seattle! Absolutely perfected the craft, even after 10 years!!!“

“The wine selection here is amazing and the bites you can get are so delicious. I still dream about the olives and charcuterie. All the servers are super knowledgeable and always help me find a wine I like. It’s worth the wait for a table, and you are always made to feel welcome while you wait with a glass of wine to pass the time. It is always a treat to come here with the atmosphere and the wine/food selection!“

“Food was delicious with good service.“

“Nell’s is by far a gem of the Northwest. Their food and service have always been amazing and we just found their quarantine take out is no different. It’s one of those all time favorites where you have fun just reading the menu and then are giddy waiting for your meal. A must try venue that we are grateful to have in Greenlake!“

“it’s like being served a fantastic home cooked meal by a professional chef on their day off. Incredible service, and unlike most restaurants in Seattle you leave FULL and satisfied. You can smell your food being made, and the restaurant is incredibly cozy with the kitchen able to be seen from your table. Wonderful experience and the food was amazing! Definitely worth every penny and reasonable prices too! They even gave us our gelato on the house!“

“My companion is severely celiac (autoimmune disorder to wheat/gluten). The staff made an effort to point out what was "safe" on the menu, but despite a note on the menu about gluten cross contamination from their fryer, two dishes arrived with fried garnish. I suggest the chef/management/staff should better educate each other.“

“Although finding parking is a bit of a challenge, this place did not disappoint. I chose a variety of items to try, the regular croissant, the chocolate hazelnut croissant, the pan au chocolat, and the Kouign amann. Each and everyone of them was amazing. Perfectly flaky and soft all at the same time, the flavors out of this world.“

“wonderful tasty bakery items ! Coffee was also excellent ! Enjoyed thoroughly. It would have more enjoyable if some sitting arrangements were provided .“

“Bummer, been going for years to all of her restaurants. Food is excellent, ambiance is five stars. However, for the first time I felt very unwelcome here. My server couldn’t get me outta there faster. I had two kids with me, but they didn’t act up or anything and we had a 5.15 seating. Our server asked me for my whole order with drinks, and when dinner was over asked me if I wanted my check before she asked about dessert. I literally started thinking “do I know her from somewhere else? And does she not like me for some reason?” I had to ask for my dessert to go, as it felt like she didn’t want me to eat it there. Restaurant wasn’t even full when we left. Will put some space between me and whale wins for a while 😥“

“One of my favorite spots in the neighborhood! The basque cheesecake is heavenly. A really lovely spot to have a relaxing wine or cocktail and read a book or catch up with friends. Great selection of wines to pickup a bottle to take home as well! ✨ service is always warm and friendly 🥰“

“Every time we come here it's delicious.“

“Two moms had the most enjoyable dinner compliments of our adult children. Exquisite flavors, relaxed vibe, gracious hosts. Absolutely fabulous!“

“Excellent, helpful and friendly employees. The macaroons, pastries and sandwiches are delicious“

“Been working in the area for about 6 months yet and still making my way around Kirkland. Found this bakery and I’M IN LOVE! They have great friendly service and the atmosphere was very nice. Very clean and chill music playing in the background. They have a a WIDE variety of beverages, sandwiches, and baked goods (ALL BAKED IN HOUSE). The staff are very knowledgeable and answered all the questions I had about fillings and ingredients. The owner was present and you could see her working hard baking and prepping all the baked goods in their open kitchen. Parking was super easy as they have street parking
and there’s quite a few spots right in front of the bakery itself. Great location, great vibes, great food! Definitely will become a regular at this place!“

“Such a cute restaurant with delicious fresh pastries. Great place to have lunch.“
