Fancy If you want to go on a romantic date and don't mind waiting forever for your food and or wine, you will enjoy Le Gourmand Restaurant. If not you can save money elsewhere.
Le Gourmand: Great food, sad service – My wife and I recently went there to celebrate her birthday. We started off with the Cur Royale which was great. After that we ordered the salmon and the beef tenderloin. The wine steward was then supposed to suggest a wine for our selection but he had to be pulled away from another customer. It was obvious that we were the youngest couple there and the service reflected it. After getting the recommendations, the bottle was selected but took 20 minutes to be opened and we had to wait to... read more
So Romantic! – My boyfriend took me to Le Gourmand for my birthday and it was one of the best experiences of our lives. It's small and cozy with romantic decor. I've been to other high end restaurants who serve 7 courses of sweet little nothings, but this food was amazing. To start, the chef used organic, locally grown, and in-season produce. That in itself would be enough for me, but every dish that came was both aromatic and beautiful. The wine was delicious. Even the owner came out to welcome us himself with a little conv... read more
Slow Service, Small Portions, Good Food – Going on a long standing recommendation I made reservations for dinner. we were seated promptly with a smile in a nice cozy table. From there the attention was not as consistent. It took a while for our server to come by. We ordered wine, then it took a while for the server to come back to take our order. 3 other tables that were seated after us received bread and water before we were even approached. Once ordered, the food arrived in a reasonable amount of time. It was delicious, ho... read more
Exquisite, world-class food. Wonderful customer service. Lovely restaurant. – This restaurant has some of the best, if not THE best food I have ever eaten anywhere in the WORLD. What a resource for Seattle. We had the tasting menu of seven courses with companion wine flight. Lovingly prepared details like homemade mustard in the salad dressing, the sorbet between courses and duck broth in the nettle soup - just examples, but this is food as art. The cardoons, a cousin of artichokes often served in Italy, were like the essenc... read more
Great food, great fun – One of the best meals of our life! My wife and I went to Le Gourmand for our anniversary, and realistically cannot put the food into words. We splurged for the 7-course meal with the wine paring. The price was worth every ounce of food and wine. The wait-staff was exceptional, the wine steward was one of the best that I have met, the food was perfectly prepared, and the atmosphere was down right cozy. Growing up in a French family, this was the best sauces I have had since Grandma?s cooking. Another i... read more
Northwest produce earns bragging rights in the lush trappings of a master chef's sublime sauce. – The Scene Master Chef Bruce Naftaly's labor of love has proven enduringly timeless: Since 1985, this tidy French restaurant's unassuming sweetness, expert service and divine culinary precision have held diners captive. Delicate wall murals create a wonderfully light feeling that belies the building's slightly forbidding exterior. The Food Naftaly's fastidious use of local, seasonal produce translates into a touch of revelation w... read more
Well worth it – The place may be a bit pricey ($40-$50 gets you an entree, appetizer, and small salad; that's before dessert, drinks, tax and tip) but it's certainly worth it for the quality of the food. The cuisine is traditional French dishes, but with unabashedly Northwest flavors. If you're a strict French traditionalist, or ambience matters a lot to you, you might not be happy; personally, I loved it. My wife and I had the tasting menu (which changes daily), and not only was it exquisite, but the wine pairings were supe... read more
Price is not everything... – ...get over it and just enjoy the great food and service!!!!
