In Short
Chic, scuffed tables, mellow lighting and a long bar for eating and chatting up neighbors combine for a casually sophisticated, intimate feel. Regulars drop in for relaxed Parisian-style lunches, such as ham and Gruyere sandwiches or Spanish tuna served on butter lettuce, while weekend crowds pack the Pike Place Market cafe for the popular brunch, featuring bourbon-battered French toast, baked eggs and steak served with pommes frites.

This restaurant serves tasty and simple French dishes in a cozy yet classy environment. It is located in the heart of the Pike Place market. I have never been disappointed with the seafood dishes or the desserts. The food is of great quality and the service is great also.

I started with an Alsace Pinot Gris (by the glass) and it was lovely; it was dry with a hint of sweet that went perfectly with our meal. We decided to try as much as possible without stuffing ourselves so we split everything. We started with Escargots de Bourgogne, wild Burgundy snails roasted with parsley, garlic and shallot butter. I must admit, the mental picture of Burgundy snails running wild gave me a giggle. When the escargot arrived, it was a gorgeous lush green from the parsley and the flavor was sublime...we ordered additional bread to ensure that all the sauce was sopped up and enjoyed. Next was the Soupe du jour, a lovely carrot ginger puree that made my taste buds dance. After the soup came the Salade verte with Roquefort. I must say, there is something to be cherished about a salad simply dressed with the finest ingredients. Truly, it was green (mostly green, some purple) lettuce leaves dressed with a simple vinaigrette and topped with crumbles of Roquefort...very, very basic, and absolutely divine. Our entree, Truite aux amandes (pan-sauteed boneless trout with steamed potatoes and an almond, lemon and brown butter pan sauce), arrived swimming in brown butter. The almonds were seated atop the fish, golden brown and fragrant. Initially, it seemed as though the trout were overly doused in the brown butter...until we tasted it. The brown butter had a perfectly nutty flavor and was outstanding. Again, more bread was needed for sopping purposes. The fish itself was a bit of a nonevent, it truly didn't taste like much of anything but I rarely enjoy trout so this could be exactly how it is supposed to taste. The sauce definitely made the dish. Our server provided impeccable service, appearing when needed but never hovering. Overall, it was a wonderful, romantic evening - I highly recommend Cafe Campagne when you're near Post Alley.

We took my mom here for Mother's Day brunch, and it was delicious. We had some standard food like eggs benedict (cooked very artfully), french toast, etc., as well as selected cheeses, a variety of delicious tortes and gelatos for dessert. My Mom was able to access everything okay in a wheel chair, although getting there in a car or walking outside is a bit difficult because of the steep hills around Campagne.
