What People Are Saying About Le Pichet

In Short
This tidy French cafe--named for the pitchers from which wine is poured--is a casual, sophisticated neighborhood place to bring friends to eat and drink well. Dishes include the country-style pork pâté (with honeyed walnuts and grain mustard), a simple plate of earthy local tomatoes, tapenade and warm goat cheese or sturgeon surrounded by a delicate corn-fennel broth. The wine list is comprehensive, especially the thoughtfully chosen by-the-glass list.

My wife and I went to Le Pichet for the first time last night. While I don't have any food allergies, my wife is very allergic to diary. I know what you're saying, why go to a French restaurant if you have a dairy allergy? Because every time we do, the chef will alter one of the dishes to make it without dairy (and because I can eat whatever I want). It never fails. Until last night. Not only did they refuse to do any modification to any dish (except leave the cheese off a salad), the waitress had to go back and forth to the kitchen 4 times asking if certain dishes had diary in them. And we were informed that she's been there for years. The wait staff should know EVERYTHING about the dishes they are serving. On the bright side, the food was wonderful. I had the Chicken-pork sausage and it was sublime. So, go for the food, stay away if you're picky or have any kind of food allergy.

When you want a cozy little dinner with excellent food and friendly service, Le Pichet rarely disappoints. When you want the best roast chicken in Seattle and hot melt-in-your-mouth french onion soup, Le Pichet NEVER disappoints! Sure you have to wait sometimes (and there's really no where to sit), and if you're sat by the door on a cold day it gets pretty chilly.....but all that doesn't really matter. You've come for the best french food in the city and you're going to get it.

I love this place for the Frenchy feel but that includes the snooty servers. Lunch is my favorite here especially outside in the summer.
