Panoramic views of the Puget Sound, Elliott Bay, West Seattle and the Olympic Mountains (and with that, spectacular sunsets) await you at Maximilien. Antique mirrors cover the walls to make this romantic sight sublime from any seat in the house. And the food is just as spectacular — the chefs at Maximilien cook local ingredients with French techniques, and the result is a seasonally changing menu rooted in signatures such as the escargots à la bourguignonne and duck confit.
“Romantic date spot, perfect for valentines and anniversary. Set menu for valentine's. pro tip: ask for seating on 2nd floor for the views. A little pricey, but its worth it. Without drinks, 3 course meal for 2 was $230 (tip and tax incl). With 2 cocktails, 1 glass of wine and extra French baguette, was $350.”
“Such a hidden gem in Pike Place! My family has celiac and we had an amazing experience eating here! Service was amazing, our water glasses were never empty, food came out quick, atmosphere was incredible. Highly recommend!”
“Wonderful spot with friendly people. The food was delicious and hearty. French classics with a great view. Loved the space and the meals. Really good quality ingredients in the dishes. The French pinion soup was as good as any I have had in paris and the duck confit as well. Only advice I would give is use fresh lemon juice in the cocktails. That was just ok. Other than that we will be back!”
“Fantastic food, fantastic service, fantastic view. The waiter was really knowledgeable and delightful. I really appreciated the tidbit that the waiter shared that they import their bread and such from France instead of using American grains. As someone who doesn't tolerate American grains without consequences, but doesnt have issues with European breads this was a hugely pleasant surprise. All the food was excellent.”
“Beautiful view of the water and Ferris wheel. Delicious French food but priced as a white tablecloth, fine dining experience and didn’t quite hit that level. The seared scallops were sweet and tender but only 3 for $45. Lamb chops were perfectly cooked and there were 4 chops in the half rack for $41. The half French baguette was really good French bread. Service was fairly attentive. The host told us the soup of the day was seafood chowder, which sounded great, only to be told No, soup de jour was tomato bisque. Darn.”
