What People Are Saying About Porcella Urban Market
The Editor
Anna Roth
Citysearch
In Short – The front-of-store deli case is filled with a treasure trove of house-cured meats, gourmet cheese and prepared meals to eat in or take out, such as roast duck with a side of filled squash. The glassed-in room behind the counter displays the chef's in-progress charcuterie. On the store side, simple wooden shelves are stocked with delectable gourmet goods--Spanish polenta, Moroccan lemons, exotic jams--while the refrigerated section offers premade soup stocks and demi-glaze.

A farewell to Porcella.
by ctac at Citysearch
This was our favorite place for coffee (Best Coffee by far in Bellevue) and for foods that you won't find at the majority of your standard american restaurants. Unfortunatelly, they are closing and another asian restaurant will be open there soon. Too bad...Don't get me wrong, I like asian food, but there are so many asian restaurants around and so few really european places....
Kelly good luck to you!

Not sanitary!
by captredbeard at Citysearch
The food seemed ok although not our style. My problem was that our server handled our money, and then proceeded to touch our food! Even Subway has rules on that! Then he stocked with his bare hands the bread basket, and then touched our money again. I was pretty appalled. Maybe they are going for "European" sanitary standards.
- Pros: You can experience new foods here
- Cons: Did not wash hands and touched all kinds of food!

Awesome Find
by l_altier at Citysearch
Shhh, don't tell anyone about this place. What a find, I may never have to cook again, with all the selection of restaurant quality meals ready to take home and heat up. Think of all the thing i can do with my free time. Great grocery selection of hard to find items at realatively decent prices. Awesome wine, cheese and meat selection which is wonderful for quick appetizers for guests. Porcella is one good reason to go to Bellevue.
- Pros: Amazing selection of fresh local menu items
- Cons: are there any?

Wonderful French Deli in a Charming Location
by nddagwood at Citysearch
This is the place to go when you are looking for french deli or unusual high-end ingredients. Where else can you get duck confit, leg of lamb and other classic dishes ready to go in the deli. There is also a small market carrying diverse and interesting ingredients from duck fat to truffle oil. The sandwiches are incredible and all come with truffle frieds which are out of this world. The only difficulty with this place if finding parking.
- Pros: Unique Foods You Can't Find Anywhere Else
- Cons: Finding Parking

One of the best meals I have ever had.
by olaviniao at Citysearch
I have been here twice and it has been each time one of the best meals I have ever had. For the quality of food.. $13 to $20 a plate is cheap.. trust me. The creme brulee is the best I've ever had.. by far. The custard was absolutely perfect. I'm amazed that the current rating on here is only 8.6.. which is absurd. It should be about 9.8. And if you live in the area.. you HAVE try this place. Primarily french with new culinary wave influences. Amazing. Truly.
- Pros: Profound meal
- Cons: most of the seating arrangements are not ideal
