11 Phenomenal French Restaurants in Seattle | Eater Seattle
"As chic as a Parisian corner-bistro and as meaty as the best whole-animal butcher shops, this cutting-edge Capitol Hill steakhouse is award-winning chef Renee Erickson’s coup de grâce. As Eater’s roving critic, Bill Addison, marveled, “When the few nightly orders of New York strips and rib-eyes are gone, they’re gone, and diners must explore lesser-known cuts that are as intensely pleasurable and often more affordable,” like the aptly named velvet (taken from the cow’s heel and enriched with bone marrow butter). This is “a steakhouse that should change the way America thinks about one of its most codified dining experiences,” he wrote when naming Bateau one of the country’s essential restaurants." - Leonardo David Raymundo
