French restaurant · Pike Place Market

"For over four decades, this iconic restaurant in Post Alley has been a go-to spot for French comfort food. The dining room hasn’t changed much in that time, fully committing to a Parisian bistro theme, right down to the vintage posters and lamps made out of old wine bottles. Even though a dinner here is a chilled-out experience, dishes can be hit or miss. The best move is to go here for the excellent brunch. photo credit: Chona Kasinger photo credit: Chona Kasinger photo credit: Chona Kasinger Cafe Campagne is much livelier during the day when Pike Place is in full force, as the buzz from groups sharing fluffy egg dishes and crusty bread commingles with jaunty music. Though there’s nothing super groundbreaking, this is a good place to take a friend from out of town after a day of strolling the market. Just note that waits are long during prime brunch times, so sitting at the counter is a better bet. Make sure a creamy slice of quiche is in the mix, too—it's Seattle's best. Food Rundown photo credit: Chona Kasinger French Onion Soup A must-order for anyone who likes winey broths and gooey cheese pulls. Pâté De Campagne The pork and chicken liver spread does the job, but there are better versions elsewhere. It’s nice to get quick free refills on the bread, though. photo credit: Chona Kasinger Tartare De Boeuf This flavorless pile of raw meat needs a lot more of everything, but mostly basics like salt and pepper. Cassoulet Jump on this seasonal dish before it drops off the menu in the spring and summer. The pretty orange pot has lots of smoky meats like lamb and duck mixed in with creamy white beans, making for a wonderful treasure hunt. Duck Confit Skin is crispy, meat is moist, and side potatoes are lemony—yes, those key boxes are checked. We just wish this plate had a little something extra to raise the bar. photo credit: Chona Kasinger Quiche Cafe Campagne is known for incredibly rich quiches—and they live up to the hype. The quiche lorraine in particular has a perfectly browned surface and a center oozing with salty comté and pops of bacon. $26 is a bit steep for a single slice, but it’s worth it. Mousse The flavor is okay, but the texture is off, almost like it’s been sitting in the fridge for too long." - Gabe Guarente
