I've driven by this restaurant too many times to count. I finally was able to try it for a birthday brunch. I would recommend making a reservation ahead of time. The wait time would have been over an hour if we didn't have our reservation. Coming in a small group allowed us to try a variety of their dishes. They included: house lamb burger, lamb hash, Le coin toast, chicken and waffles, and apple fritters. First, the apple fritters came out--fresh off the heat! They were pillowy with a soft crust on the outside. A perfect bite accompanied with an apple sauce. The main dishes all came out at about the same time. The house lamb burger was cooked to a great medium rare (as we had asked) and came alongside house cut fries. The burger was juicy and tender. It would be something I could see myself getting again. The lamb hash included a sunny-side up egg, potatoes, vegetables, and cubed lamb. While the hash was tasty, I felt it was a pretty one-toned flavor which could have been brightened up with maybe a sauce or something different. It's not something I would get again. The Le Coin toast was a heavy bite, but luckily came with a refreshing and acidic side salad. Crispy and caramelized bacon was also on the toast--while tasty, just brought a greater weight and oiliness to the dish. The chicken waffles had crispy fried chicken and great waffles, but had dense batter which was not my favorite. Overall, I had a good experience with decently attentive servers and reasonable food-wait time. While I would only return with a reservation, it could be a place to recommend to friends who like this type of food. I would consider coming back for their other items (Happy hour menu or dinner menu). read more

Big shoutout to my friend for recommending Le Coin. This place is a must for oyster happy hour! When I visit Seattle, Fremont isn't a place I go to, but this time I'm glad that I did. I started off with a negroni with oysters, which was a great combination if I do say so myself. I also was feeling it and got some steak frites as well with an aioli sauce, also delicious! This place is super cute and if I lived in Fremont, I would definitely be a regular here. Employees were also very kind, which I appreciate. Should be noted that I went alone and was sat at the bar, which my introvert self loved and enjoyed. :) Get here at the beginning of their Happy Hour before it gets too busy! read more

I'm quite impressed by their happy hour! Don't sleep on it. Their oysters were half price and all the little bites were delicious! I almost want to say that their happy hour bites were tastier than their mains, but we only tried one of their mains. Our server was very helpful in helping us decide how much food to order, and say quite pleasant to be around. read more

Overall a really great experience! We booked a reservation for a table outside, which for folks still not trying to catch the dreaded COVID every month, is a really nice option. Their heat lamps kept us toasty, and they were super attentive. We ordered some wine and salad and bread to start. Love all of their housemade butters and sauces and stuff. Really shows how much their chef cares and puts into the menu. Someone in the reviews called his French restaurant not especially French and I think I'd have to agree. Which can make it feel a little more accessible for those not into the super traditional vibes of, say, le pichet. Our entrees were all tasty. The scallops were really fresh and fun with all the flavor combos. Really enjoyed it. The burger also lived up to its reputation of being incredibly good. Our server told us that the chef had sourced the new plate/bowls personally, and they are beautiful! We remarked on them Server was super friendly and fun to chat with, and dessert wrapped up the meal pretty decently. The beignets were a little bit of a let down. Pretty wet but the flavor was good. The ice cream served with the lemon tart was great (spruce flavor??) But was almost impossible to scoop off the plate. The resorted to dipping the beignets in it haha. Enjoyed the French dessert wine on the menu by the glass as well -1 star for the super annoying table situation. It wobbled horribly all night despite any engineering efforts from our table, and we were told they are aware of the issue. Kept us on our toes all night, as glasses almost slipped several times. Little hard to relax read more

I can't find my pictures from the first time I went here but what stood out the most to me was the steak with masked potatoes. The steak was cooked perfectly and it was served with this delicious bordelaise sauce. The mashed potatoes was just sufficiently buttery but it was super creamy! We went back here a few months ago and I knew I wanted the steak with mashed potatoes along with other stuff. The steak was still cooked to perfection, but the mashed potatoes weren't as creamy as the last time and the bordelaise sauce was not as good as I'd remembered. It was still delicious so it's ok! We told the server about it and they said that it is inevitable that each batch will be different, which sucks because I don't know if they can replicate the mashed potatoes I had before. Other than that, service is pretty good! It's a good spot for date nights or just a fun night with girlfriends. read more

So glad I finally was able to give Le Coin a try! It's a beautiful restaurant with outdoor and indoor dining in the Fremont neighborhood. Highly recommend making a reservation as it was quite crowded for weekend lunch! My friends and I shared the oyster, omelette, and eggs Benedict and loved it all! The oysters couldn't be fresher and are even displayed nicely in the middle of the bar area. The eggs Benedict was delicious and the side potatoes were perfectly cooked. Can't forget the service was attentive and kind thru out our entire meal too! read more

Disclosure: visit and review during Covid-19 pandemic. We've visited Le Coin twice now and we are fans!!! Both times service was great, they have a great wine and cocktail list, and food is phenomenal!!! It is in the Fremont neighborhood and parking can be challenging, but the reward is worth it. Both times we visited we ordered bone marrow and octopus. Seriously, these two dishes are a must!!!! The grilled octopus is cooked perfectly, not rubbery or overcooked, but soft and flavorful! The bone marrow is roasted to bring out the fatty, rich flavor and spread it on the grilled bread for a wonderful bite! Additionally, we also order oysters as part of our shareable plates. At this point we just end up sharing an entree. Each time we've opted for steak (always medium rare) and we have not been disappointed. I don't know why, but as full as we are we also order dessert, and each time the desserts were also great! Their menu changes seasonally, so don't expect to see the same dishes every time. I only hope they continue keeping the octopus and bone marrow (fingers crossed)... Le Coin also serves brunch, which I've heard is really good. We'll have to make a trek here one of those brunch days! Don't forget to make your reservations on Tock!!! read more

We ordered their meal kit for Thanksgiving, and it exceeded all expectations. We ordered a kit for 6 people and did a couple of add-ons because we had a group of 7, just to be sure. We had plenty of food and had leftovers. The turkey and ham were cooked perfectly and were delicious. We all loved the stuffing, gravy, and cranberry sauce. We loved the caramel dessert with ice cream. Everything else was great too. The only item that didn't get great reviews were the rolls. Anyway, with food so good and prep and clean up super simple, it really made for a memorable Thanksgiving! Thanks Le Coin! (Sorry didn't get photos) read more

Uninterested waitstaff. Mediocre food. Exorbitant prices. I decided to have my birthday dinner here. The small plates were decent but my duck was overcooked, too sweet and just unappetizing. The trout was good. Overall a very underwhelming experience. I will not be going back to this restaurant. read more

2nd time in the last 6 weeks. Early dinner in advance of The Moth across the street (also highly recommend). Le Coin is one of my new favorite places. Just a wonderful, warm and welcoming neighborhood restaurant. Had a couple of their cocktails - amazing. Then shared their legume appetizer and summer salad, even though it's October. A very light date night dinner, worth every penny. read more

We came here for a friends birthday brunch. We really liked the atmosphere and the menu food and drink options, although we were surprised they didn't have any coffee options other than French pressed coffee. That is the reason I knocked off one star. Besides that, my friends and I all enjoyed our food and it came out pretty quickly! The chicken & waffles was delicious and the waffle was made of cornbread rather than traditional batter. The parfait was delicious and had really fresh summer fruit. We ordered the Apple fritters for the table and it was warm and fresh. The classic breakfast was also good - the eggs were super creamy! Overall, I would recommend this place for the brunch food and ambiance, but I would get coffee somewhere else :) read more

Very dissapointed in the quality and service. Less than average food taste. Can not recommend. The service was lacking and the ambience was sad. Wish I would have tried a different restaurant for my birthday. read more

This has become our new favorite happy hour.... Firstly we always get good, prompt and friendly service, Ryan at the bar, Levi in the kitchen and Sara the manager are all wonderful people who are very good at their jobs. Cheap oysters for happy hour which is rare in Seattle, you should come here just for this.. Along with the oyster i'm a huge fan of the bone marrow with the crispy yum bread. Lastly a couple mini things that are good, plenty of parking around the neighborhood, pretty chill vibe. No weird music or bad vibe employees. All in all great spot, we've made it our monday yum yums read more

Higher end French fare when you're feeling a nice dinner out or a classy Happy Hour. The wine and cocktail lists are very expansive and cocktails are finely crafted. I really enjoyed trying a bunch of elegant, exquisite dishes I don't see everyday. Bone marrow ($14) was very rich and fatty, almost like they melted half a stick of butter in there. Brussel sprouts ($6) were amazing and crispy, slightly sweet. Pork rilettes ($9) were fatty, salty, and delicious. The happy hour oysters were all different sizes but were fresh and great ($19/2 for half dozen). Everything was beautifully presented and service was polite and attentive. read more

This place is a gem in Fremont. What a great date spot with large windows and plenty of seating indoor & outdoor. We got seated right away on a Sunday morning with a reservation. I loved the french press coffee.. delicious bold tasting coffee! I ordered the cassoulet and it was divine. So flavorful and comforting on a cloudy morning. It was my first time having it and chose it on a whim but so glad I did! I highly recommend it! I took a star off because the customer service wasn't the greatest. Our server "Los Pantalones" (according to my receipt lol) wasn't friendly and stand-offish. He literally talked to us like we were wasting his time. I will say he checked up on us but more felt like he was rushing us out. Not one friendly smile did we get from him. It definitely put a damper to our visit but overall food and ambiance was amazing so I will definitely come back! read more

The brunch food is AMAZING. The pork belly breakfast sandwich was really flavorful as well as the crab benedict. The prices aren't too high and the restaurant has a clean and friendly atmosphere. I am not kidding when I say the breakfast potatoes are made exquisitely. The potatoes are crispy on the outside soft on the inside and seasoned really well with garlic and cojito cheese that just gives it a great touch. I highly recommend this place for brunch. Reservations made ahead would be ideal, but they sometimes have room at the bar top for walk-ins. read more

Le Coin - Breakfast sandwich, crab benedict - Seafood Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Pros- Chicken and waffles was good, eggs Benedict was decent. They have a lot of seating so we were able to be seated very quickly on a Saturday afternoon. Cons - French toast was very dry, hot sauce was not great. I like to have hot sauce with savory brunch dishes. I wasn't a fan of their hot sauce, they make it in house so it tasted very different than most hot sauces and didn't really do the job. Overall I recommend Le Coin, but would only come if I'm the area. Would not go out of my way for it. read more

Le Coin - Eggs Benedict, Bread Pudding French Toast, Chicken & Waffles - Seafood Near Me - Seattle, Washington

COMPLETELY OUTSTANDING I enjoyed my birthday brunch at Le Coin and could not have chosen a better spot! I looked up Seattle brunch spots and this was featured in February '21 both eater and thrilliest Not bad during the time of covid. I went with this place because I missed Fremont so much and this was right in the perfect spot! I also love anything French; call me a sucker but it was my birthday so I can do what I want! I really appreciate that they did reservations. Some restaurants are not doing them still and it makes planning even hard with covid. I wanted to ensure we had a safe and fun time. We went with a savory and sweet dish EACH! Couldn't help it. I had to try as much as I could. Let's Dig In! Savory S teak and Eggs: A classic! Well done! The steak was absolutely incredible. I loved the berry jam the most though! Chicken and Waffles: oh boy! This was excellent. Way way way higher then my expectations. The chicken was CRISPY and CRUNCHY I really enjoyed the sage. I'm not sure what they did to it but it paired so well. I loved the waffle. I'm really into the soft Belgian style. It was so fluffy. Like. Dang. It was a pillow in my mouth. I drowned it in maple syrup but what sets it apart was the hot sauce. Not sure what it was, but it was like a ketchup consistency. I need it. I need it badly in my life! Sweet! Bread Pudding French Toast: it's not what you're expecting. It's very dense, yet fluffy. It's so good. Not overly sweet and you do get a custard vibe but not in the way you think. It heated up very nicely as I was overly ambitious with the carbs Pancakes: alright. They were okay. They were not a wow moment for me. The texture was a little grainy. They were made with berries inside! I did love that part. Where ever they got them they were definitely wild and not from a box stores. I did enjoy them! So again, if this was the worst part, were not doing to bad! Cocktails! Bloody Mary - 4/5 Nice bite! Hot Toddy - 5/5 THEY USE A LOCAL DISTILLERY Bubbles - 5/5 the perfect drink for any celebration They also support other local businesses. Fremont Mischief Distillery Lighthouse Roastery read more

I wish we could give half stars because I don't want to give this a full 4 starts but it's definitely better than just 3. I'd have to say the food was a bit underwhelming but the service was great. The happy hour oysters are worth the price, 1 dozen at around $17, the happy hour is just a good deal overall. Ended up getting the sable fish, octopus and pasta as entrees and they were okay. The pasta sauce kind of tasted like what you can make at home but the fish and octopus were delicious. Our server was so thoughtful and came to check in on on multiple times while refilling our waters and making sure everything was okay. Overall, a decent dining experience. read more

What happened to this restaurant? It's not like what I remembered and that's very sad. The huckleberry clafoutis was overcooked. There was nothing French about my omelette. The side salad that came with my entree was the only thing that was notable. It felt like I was eating at an elevated American diner, not a French eatery. The chicken and waffles entree had lukewarm fried chicken and dense waffles. So disappointing as this was once one of the best brunch places in town. We'll try their dinner before completely writing this place off. Hopefully, that's just as good as we remember. read more

Came here for brunch on a Saturday at noon. We had a large group so we had a reservation but it didn't seem super busy. Service was pretty fast and our server was attentive and friendly. I ordered the Breakfast sandwich ($18) and thought it was pretty tasty. There was a decent amount of pork belly on it although the pork belly was definitely more fat than meat. The sandwich as a whole was good though nothing spectacular. I was excited for the potatoes but they ended up being very salty with the cheese and salt/seasoning on them. read more

I have been here several times for brunch and dinner. The food is amazing and the service is good!

I recently enjoyed a delightful salad that was wonderfully leafy. The crisp greens provided a fresh and vibrant base, while the addition of almonds brought a delightful earthy crunch. The steak was dry but the potato's were nice and smooth. The service was interesting. They all seemed disconnected. I didn't get my bread basket until the end of dinner. It was supposed to have foie gras but it just came with butter. The restaurant was buzzing for a Wednesday night. Although there were no booths available we enjoyed sitting at the bar. The ambiance was relaxing. read more

Met a friend here for Sunday brunch. She had the Breakfast Sandwich, which was pork belly with fried egg, greens and pepperoncini. Disappointed that they had run out of gluten free buns at 11:30 on Sunday, she still loved it on gluten free bread. I surprised myself by ordering the Crispy Fried Chicken sandwich. There wasn't much remoulade, so the honey drizzle elevated it. Overall, delicious! We had excellent service. It is REALLY noisy there! read more

We went here for a friend's birthday brunch, not too crowded for a Sunday but reservation definitely helped in being seated quickly. Service was a little slow but food was amazing, granola yogurt bowl was delicious and a lot of food despite looking a little small. Friends said that eggs were amazing, potatoes crispy, and chicken and waffles were delicious. Docked a star as there was no espresso menu, which was disappointing for a brunch place.

This evening the amazing team made way for a first time experience for us. It is a bit chilly and although we were a larger party than anticipated, they still found us a table inside. We enjoyed several appetizers to include bread service with Foie Gras Torchon, French Onion Soup, Confit Fennel & Brussel Sprouts with Pomegranate! The Foie Gras was like butter. The Principles chosen today included Cavatelli Pasta in Lamb Neck Ragu, Pork Chop with braised cabbage & Duck Confit with Kymquat Glaz and celeriac. Sixty percent of the party has never dined here but all agree this is an established to be added to the top five list. The service was warm, comfortable but not too familiar. Service can make or break an experience, and in this case we felt as if we were friends picking up a conversation where we left off. Our server knew exactly how to read the table and matched our energy without over stepping. Her service, the knowledge that she has and the mouth orgasms made for a meal to not be forgotten. read more

Best happy hour in Seattle!! I'm a big oysters girlie, and Le Coin does half off their oysters during happy hour, which is 4-6 PM every day. Cheap oysters in Seattle are hard to come by, and the ones at Le Coin are fresh and tasty. The other items on their menu are also delicious. I particularly recommend the mussels and the fries, and the cocktails were sweet and refreshing. There's not much to dislike about this place, and the great deals and tasty options on their happy hour menu make me one happy girl! read more

In the Fremont area, this place can be easily disguised with the houses. It's on the corner, and not much parking around the restaurant. We parked behind the restaurant in the neighborhood. Like most restaurants, I usually want to make a reservation in the case the place gets randomly busy. Lucky for us, we did make a reservation and the place was pretty full. We sat down and they asked for tap or Pellegrino water. Other than water I got a mimosa which was average nothing amazing. Now food, all the foods are under $20. Very reasonable for a brunch date with friends or with your partner. We did family style and got the croissant, le coin toast and the chicken and waffles. Over all, I thought it was a good meal. Average dishes to set a baseline. For the taste of the chicken and waffles, it was well seasoned. Interesting Tabasco sauce. They put cornmeal in the waffle, so if that's not your vibe you may not enjoy it. I didn't mind it, but I did not expect it when I bit into the waffle. The toast is paired with a side salad. The toast also has roasted figs, which my boyfriend found interesting. I always enjoy a poached egg, I would have enjoyed a dry bottom, but it was a soggy toast. The croissant was well filled with ham and cheese! Reminded me of a Brazilian bread which was so filling. We spent about $70 of everything. So overall a wonderful brunch date. Still a 4/5 in my books. Great food, but not amazing or out of the ordinary. I recommend trying the place :p read more

Wonderful neighborhood restaurant with upscale cuisine. Charming PNW decor with somewhat challenging street parking (as it is in a residential neighborhood along Fremont). We opted out of the Chef's Counter Service (prix fixe) along the open kitchen because there were so many menu items that we wanted to try. Firstly, the entire staff were so nice and helpful. Katrina helped guide our food choices while Katie recommended an amazing yet different wine that perfectly suited our palate. Bread service w added fois gras was excellent! Nice choice of breads (yummy honey butter & tumeric onions) paired nicely with rich velvety fois gras. Steak tartare was well-seasoned and plated as an appetizer. Seared octopus was very tender and a generous portion. The sweetbreads was the standout appetizer--even loved by my reluctant wife! Following these hearty appetizers, we decided to share the foraged mushroom dish (on their vegetarian menu) which was the best mushroom dish we have ever had. The cabbage and buttery mashed potatoes were a delicious bed for the tasty mushrooms! The lemon tart, port flight and sauterne were a delightfully sweet ending to our meal. This was one of our best meals in Seattle! A highly recommend--make your reservation now! We will definitely return. read more
