Le Pichet – A Real French Restaurant in Seattle

We had brunch at the Le Pichet on Saturday, a tiny French cafe in Belltown, with a true Parisian vibe. The menu is real French, not the French influenced fare you find in most other French restaurants around here. Don’t get me wrong, I very much enjoy the French influenced northwestern cuisine, but Le Pichet is pleasantly different, and is guaranteed to remind you of Paris, if you have been there.

The brunch menu has some very interesting choices. If you go here, don’t be scared and just go with the safe choice of broiled eggs with ham and cheese, which was my first inclination. Be bold and order something you’ve never tasted, and you might just like it. With the dishes being so cheap, most everything is under $10, you can’t go really wrong.

This time I decided to go for the grilled half quail served on a watercress and avocado salad with creamy almond vinaigrette dressing. It was so nice, the quail was marinated in some kind of a sour sauce and the salad went so nice with it. The dish is pretty tiny, I could have gone for one more dish, but decided against it at the end since I’m supposed to be watching my diet

Siv ordered the crisp pork belly confit on roasted beets dressed with capers, parsley and creme fraiche. I liked this better than my quail, the pork belly was so crispy and tasty, and even the beets tasted great!
