French Restaurants in Seattle, WA

“After living across from Copine for nearly a year, and then moving, we finally made a reservation, and it definitely lived up to its reputation. The restaurant’s intimate, refined atmosphere is complemented by attentive, knowledgeable service. From the amuse (not pictured) to dessert, every dish was beautifully presented and delicious. Overall, the combination of exquisite food and impeccable service makes Copine a must-visit in Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood. We’ll definitely be returning.

Parking: Parking is located in the lower level of the building, entry on 64th.“

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

“Extremely tasty food and very friendly staff. Lovely atmosphere, especially near the windows on a sunny evening. A bit expensive, but nice for a special night out.

Dietary restrictions: I can't have gluten and was able to eat the chicken with morel sauce with no problem. It was delicious!“

“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 😥“

“We always love it here. They have a great happy hour, and their menu selections are always very inventive. Last night they had a duck entrée that was to die for.“

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

“Been coming here for … 10 years now (or however long they have been open). From day 1 to now nothing changed: wine always great (don’t worry if you know not what to pick, staff will help), food delicious and seasonal, staff is great, kind, knowledgeable and hasn’t changed since opening (David must be doing something right to keep them all around). Oh, and the best tartare in Seattle!!! ?“

“What a friendly, welcoming atmosphere with good, creative dishes! I was so impressed with the combination of fine dining and a comfortable, happy dining experience. I will be back in the fall for a football game and I will DEFINITELY pay another visit.“

“I never leave reviews but the dinner and service at The Garrison is outstanding! They have a newly expanded menu that was hard to choose from. Everything looked amazing… and it was! We got to eat in the newly remodeled back room that is absolutely stunning! The other noteworthy mention is the presentation of all of our dishes were thoughtful and very beautifully put together. Overall, love this addition to our Ballard neighborhood. Can’t wait to try brunch!“

“Food was delicious with good service.“

“Great Seattle neighborhood restaurant. I wish I lived here so I could come here more often“

“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!“

“Amazing food, cocktails and wine list. Really love this place!!“

Dietary restrictions: They have vegetarian and vegan options!“

“Noir show on Feb 16 was by far one of the best shows I’ve been to! The entertainment was amazing and the food and drinks were spot on! Definitely will be back!!“

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

“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.“

“The Alhadeff Grill is the "high end" restaurant for South Seattle College's Culinary Arts School, which has turned out many fine chefs and cooks for many years now. The students do all prep, cooking and service...and a fine job they do. I came here with two old friends to see what was on the menu for lunch (that's all they serve) and to see how the school had changed. My wife and I used to live five blocks away and would eat here from time to time. Hadn't been here in nearly 30 years. Lunch is served from 11-1 Mon.-Thurs. while school is in session. Check the web site to be sure they're serving...and for reservations for large groups. Two of us had the well-chilled Vichyssoise (potato & leek) soup for an appetizer ($4.00). It was o.k., but not oniony enough for my taste (but then I make an excellent Vichyssoise!). For our entree', two of us had the Steelhead served over a cauliflower cake ($12.00). It was delicious, though a small portion. The fish was perfectly cooked...soft and flaky and served with a light broth that was somewhat soaked up by the light, tasty thin cauliflower cake. My other buddy had a very small lamb shank wrapped in something green (a veggie?). He never commented about it, so I suspect he may not have been terribly impressed. Only one of us ordered dessert, a dark chocolate tart. We all wanted to get a strawberry Zabaglione, but they ran out of ingredients. Total bill for my soup and fish was $18.00. All-in-all it was a fun luncheon and a chance to support the school and its students. The head chef/instructor visited all tables to chat with the diners. Service was excellent by a young first year student. One thing I truly appreciated was you could actually hear one another talk without shouting here. It's a quiet restaurant...the last of a dying breed. Sadly, the retail bakery wasn't open, so I couldn't stop in for the scrumptious baked goods I used to buy years ago. If you live in the southwest end of Seattle, you owe it to yourself and the students to check it out.“
