Washington, United States Food Guide: 3 European food Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Seattle
Reviews on European food in Seattle, Washington, United States. In Seattle you simply can’t skip the Central Public Library – a modern architectural marvel of glass grids, unusual shapes, and a “book spiral” that climbs four stories. Stroll over to Pike Place Market to visit the original Starbucks and play catch with a fishmonger. In the heart of the city lies Chihuly Garden and Glass, which will dazzle you with its colorful and delicate works. Glide to the top of the Space Needle for panoramic views of the surrounding mountain ranges and Puget Sound.

We had dinner here on a weekday. Quite crowded but we got a table without a reservation. Lovely ambience. Stained glass windows n exposed brick columns. Rather dim lighting using candles at tables. I had to use my phone torch light to see the menu clearly.My husband had the French onion soup n a glass of wine. We shared the baked oysters, fresh fig salad n the pan seared chicken. All were excellent. Portions r not large like a typical diner. But just right for us as we werenât very hungry .We spent about $84. For special occasions Tilikum is a lovely restaurant.

Whenever Iâm missing France, I head Downtown to cozy, casual Le Pichet, near Pike Place Market, for lunch. The ambiance reminds me of the bistros I frequent in Paris; the mostly light fare has always been authentic; and I consider the service to be exemplary. My most recent visit proved to be no exception.I entered close to 1 p.m. on a weekday and was surprised to see so many vacant tables and only a few customers eating at the bar. Usually the place is quite crowded, inside and outside on the sidewalk patio. But I usually come on weekends and during periods when the tourists have hit Seattle in full force. My late September visit resulted in a much quieter atmosphere and even more attentive service than usual.The server, perhaps a owner, greeted me warmly with a French accent, invited me to sit at any table and gave me a menu, water and a description of the daily special (quiche). I could not decide between a baguette with French ham and gruyere and a green salad with hazelnuts so ordered both. These have always been my favorite choices here, and I was not disappointed. The baguette was as good or better than those I have eaten in France and the salad was extremely fresh with a generous helping of nuts. The attentive server ensured that my water glass was always full.When the check came, it had a 20 percent service charge added to the total. Many Seattle restaurants adopted this policy after the minimum wage in the city was raised considerably. Le Pichet, however, has a note on the check to customers about the charge. It invites those, who do not consider the percentage in line with the service received, to ask for it to be removed.

Antipasti: Alforno, escarole and burrata= The watermelon, salt and cheese combo hit the right tastebuds for me on the burrata. Wild mushroom pasta salty but rich and tastyOrchiette-traditional flavourRisotto -creamy and fillingChicken- gluten free dish Our appies and mains were very good and portions just right. Wine by the glass a bit pricey $16-21 fir Chianti and a Chardonnay. The reason this review is 4/5 is dessert: first I believe you should not mess with tiramisu and a traditional version was not on the menu . Second, you should have a gelato and sorbet both of which are not fruit based. Settled for the mousse. Overall definitely tasty, 5 of us ate for $300 and we each found something on the menu we enjoyed.
