RIP Thierry Rautureau, the ‘Chef in the Hat’ Who Helped Define Seattle Cuisine - Eater Seattle

"In 2010, Rautureau opened a new bistro, Luc, a few doors down from Rover’s — the project, named after his late father, marked a return to the simple French standards of his childhood in Muscadet." - Meg van Huygen

Seattle French Restaurant Luc from Chef Thierry Rautureau to Close in August - Eater Seattle

"After 11 years serving popular French fare in Madison Valley, Luc will close permanently on August 28. Chef-owner Thierry Rautureau made the announcement to customers via an email newsletter last Thursday, July 1, with the subject line “Our Final Summer at Luc Bistro,” noting that “due to Covid we could not financially sustain our lease.” The James Beard Award-winning Rautureau — nicknamed “the chef in the hat” due to his ubiquitous fedora — opened Luc in 2010 as a more casual follow-up to his acclaimed fine dining destination Rover’s next door. When Rover’s closed in 2013 after more than 25 years, Luc carried on, drawing in fans for its satisfying takes on classic French bistro fare, such as boeuf bourguignon and duck confit cassoulet, in an approachable, lively environment. Luc also earned praise from some local outlets, like Seattle Met, who wrote that the low-lit dining room “is perpetually packed and fizzy as a sexy cocktail party in full roar; the unofficial Third Place for the well-heeled neighborhoods surrounding the Madison Valley.” Over the next two months, Luc plans to continue serving its longtime favorites as it bids adieu." - Gabe Guarente

The atmosphere is great, romantic and cozy. Service is quick and thoughtful. Food is well presented and street parking is not so hard to find. However, I think it’s really overpriced. The food is okay; the taste is not creative. The crostini was very burnt that gave a bitter taste. With the range of $20-30 for the main dish, I would expect a little more from this place.

I was with a large party and we were well taken care of. (Gratuity included in the bill) The food was great. Great steak, seafood and fries. The puffed potatoes were cool and tasted good but not worth the high price. The beef bergonion is top notch and recommended. I will definitely come back. Oh did I say the original cocktails were good too?

The sad news first: Luc is closing at the end of August due to losing their lease. Get in if you can. This is French comfort food blended with touches of haute cuisine. The proprietors are incredibly friendly, as is all the staff. Everything my wife and I tried was superb. If Luc opens in another location, I will be one of the first in line.

Visited based on a recommendation and I must say I am glad I know of this venue now. A quaint little cafe with a generous outdoor seating; perfect for a brunch or late lunch on a sunny day. They serve authentic french fare - the onion soup is to die for. Also worth mentioning is the cheeseburger and the accompanying fries - as if straight from a friterie! For dessert, share a plate of soft fluffy Beignets with coffee.

Great brunch spot that takes reservations! The food was delicious and the service was great. Plenty of street parking available around the restaurant. Definitely recommend the beignets (light and fluffy), the crêpe poulet roti and the eggs Benedict

Basic, warm interior with comfort french food. We enjoyed the french onion soup and beef bourguignon. Meet in beef bourguignon was melt in your mouth tender. Awkward hostess and uninteresting atmosphere dropped review one star, but I would gladly return.

Had an enjoyable enough meal and everything was well executed, but didn't find it mindblowing for the price. I'll still be sad to see it go though.
