French Restaurants near Kirkland, WA

“Excellent food. Great service. A bit on the expensive side but great for a girls night out!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

“Overall, a very solid experience. Some of their items blew me away and some were very meh.

Fair warning you will have to pay for bread, but ask your server if any of your other items you order come with bread because one of ours did and we also ordered the bread so we had so much leftover.

The French onion soup was out of this world. They use a veal broth instead of a beef and it gave it such a deep umami taste and I would say it’s one of the best FOS I’ve ever had. I will also say we had a charred prawn dish in a compound butter sauce that was so to die for. It almost tasted like a tikka masala sauce and paired so well with the bread (this was the dish we ordered that came with its own bread).

The biggest disappointment for us had to be the steak frites. They charge pretty hefty price for a rather cheap cut of meat (flank steak) but I was willing to bite because I’m a sucker for a steak frites. While many things on the menu were not overpriced for me this one absolutely was. You get a rather tough and cheap cut of meat for damn near 50 dollars. This is the only nice French restaurant I’ve been to that uses a flank steak for their steak frites and it’s honestly jarring. Mind you their only other steak entree was a 3 lb T-Bone priced at 175 which is impossible to share if you’re there as a couple. Avoid this entree and look at others.

Definitely not a bad spot for French in Seattle.“

“It's just fantastic. Ambiente encantador y comida deliciosa.“

“Everything was absolutely delicious. I cannot recommend the escargot highly enough. The salmon was the best I’ve had in a long time.“

“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“

“Drinks a bit watered down but staff very personable and quick service“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“Food was delicious with good service.“

“Family run (I think) and feel restaurant with good food and did not leave hungry. Total casual and easy to feel welcome. Home made food and daily specials. I got the feeling you could ask for alterations to meals and they would accommodate. Chef came out to make sure all was good and definitely knew the regulars. He treated everyone as a regular. Would recommend and will go back.“

“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 🥰“

“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!“
